Campsite booked for week after next t13 right by the lake. 72 working hours between now and when I leave. Not that I’m counting. 
I just have notifications turned off on well everything. I also leave my phone on do not disturb. My voicemail stays full so no one can leave a message.
Working on my diet. I need to work on my exercise some. I do work 10-12 miles a day at work though. A good chunk of that carrying a tire. It’s been a year and a half, down from a 38 to a 34 in jeans. Still a little bit of a gut. I’ll get there.
Is that soccer or football? Just kidding I think I can guess based on the umlaut.
Course that number might be because of people like my grandmother who we’re pretty sure looking back on it beat being right handed into my uncle. Luckily that didn’t happen to me or my sister.
I feel you. I’m left handed in a right handed world. 10 percent of the population world wide they say. 12.8 percent in the US.
Testing my new purchase. Sun is starting to come out some. It was charging even with a goos bit of cloud cover though. 30 watts if you use both ports. Folds down to 8.5x11, only weighs a couple pounds. Comes with two carabiners so you can run it down the back of your pack and use it while you are on the move. I’ll give it a more in depth testing in a couple weeks when I go camping for a week. Just bought it to charge my portable charger so I can charge my phone and headlamp. 50 bucks on primeday.

I’m not saying I never went on a date with a girl and then found out we were cousins. I mean you had to go back to the 1800s to find a common ancestor…
It comes in handy so you can know if she is your cousin or not. Though I suppose even if she is if you need to know ancestry to know it, it’s far enough out that it doesn’t matter.
I’m not saying the firing squad, which is legal in this state, is a more fitting punishment than a fine for people that do this but I’m open to the idea. In an ideal world if they cause a house that previously had no internal flood damage to be damaged they should be on the hook for the total cost of repairs and lodging for the owner if the house becomes uninhabitable until repaired. Instead of a fine to the to the government.
Americans spend ~70,000,000,000 hours driving per year already, according to https://newsroom.aaa.com/2019/02/think-youre-in-your-car-more-youre-right-americans-spend-70-billion-hours-behind-the-wheel/
If the hypothetical 20 miles/hr policy only resulted in travel times doubling, that would be an extra 70 billion hours wasted, or just under 200,000 lives per year wasted (assuming 40 year remaining lifespan).
It would, in all likelihood, be much worse, because fatigue is implicated in more fatal crashes than speed already, without doubling travel times.
People suck at judging risks when making choices, but they attempt it sincerely because they have "skin in the game".
Individually more intelligent and better informed experts make everyone's choices for them even more poorly, because they have no skin in the game and are rarely/never held accountable for externalities.
Fine. Whatever speed the impacts would not be fatal at. We could set that speed as the maximum speed. We don’t though. Because we accept that getting from point a to point b at the speeds we are accustomed to means x number of people will die.
Yes. I’m making the point that safety is often a secondary consideration when it comes to connivence.
For that matter we could make the speed limit 20 miles an hour and save 40-45,000 lives a year in the US. We don’t though. That would inconvenience everyone.
We still picking native grapes off vines my great grandfather put in. Likely my grandchildren will be enjoying them. Assuming I ever have children. Great nieces and nephews we’ll call it.
Decided to go old school waxed canvas on my new pack. I think a camping trip in the mountains is in order for next weekend. Might head up to the park at Oconee. Do some hiking. Rent a kayak on the lake one day. Got a tent and a couple other things I haven’t tried out anyway.

I guess I’m missing out. Never been drunk or high. Also never done anything like that. Coincidence? Who can say…



If you smoke weed this is what happens...
