Physically solid

Glacier’s mountain rocks were once sea bottom.

None of us can predict our future. All of us can decide to never physically give up.

How steep is it?

mountains
Mt Siyeh is on my hope-to-summit-this-trip list. From Lunch Creek to Piegan summit is two miles and 2,800′ gain. Distance in nominal. Steep is an understatement.

A world-class Disney technique is to excel at both the long shot and the closeup. The closer you get, the better it looks – because the details are extraordinary. We make fake things as good or better than the real thing.

Need better treads

Cheryl is sending a replacement pair.

The pair she’s sending will be a nice, used pair – already broke in, with great bottom tread. The tread pictured here is not safe enough for the final two weeks.

Recognize the future need for change – and change – before the need arrives.

Blessing of clean air and clean thinking

The western state’s wildfire haze makes for unique sunrises and sunsets.

Western State’s wildfire haze limits visibility and can dangerously reduce air quality.

Forced change often pushes us to new and better things we would never initiate on our own.

For the first time since 2008, these posts are in three separate time periods:

  1. Past day.
  2. Current day.
  3. Future day.

For example:

  1. Past: Today’s pictures are from September 19, 2020.
  2. Current: Writing today’s posts, now, October 26, 2020.
  3. Future: Posts publish January 6, 2021.

The point is simple.

This is unexpected.

Pausing today to unpack this unexpected opportunity with today’s posts.

Intentional care

washing machine dials
Early bird at the RV Park (and Motel) laundry.
washing cloths
Air dry.
car wash
Second (of three) washes for 50-day rental car.
McDonalds
Weird to see a seagull in Whitefish, Montana. Weird to see me eating a McDonalds cheeseburger and fries. It reminded me why pink slim is not for me.
Creative ideas start out small, usually. These are collapsable drinking bottles.
Loaded up on freeze-dried meals, as West Glacier’s supply has run out.

Where your health habits default to is where your daily health defaults to.
