Two of my favorite things. Hint: Samsung is not one of them.

There’s a place close to me that is called “the eagle highway” where eagles use the geo thermal lift to make their yearly migration from Mexico to Alaska. We watch them use the thermal lift to travel along the eastern slopes of the Rockies.
It reminds me, that often fight against nature in the hopes that we can make our lives better, when we should just embrace it and use it to travel great distances.
Indeed. I have been in thermals and had a hawk off my wingtip checking me out. Monarch butterflies use thermals and mountain wave to migrate too. There are mainly 3 kinds of lift. Thermals, ridge, and wave.
It makes me appreciate how much energy is all around us. Some people meditate, I go soaring.
what's thermal soaring?
Most people call them gliders. But more precisely sailplanes. When you are in an airplane and go through turbulence that is a column of warming air rising, aka a thermal. Where the sun heats parts of the earth more than others. When you see a bird with wings out circling they are getting more altitude from a thermal. 🤙
