Plague = Bubonic as far as I know. Still around, but less common now that source & treatment/prevention is known. Two youths killed as the slept in another part of part. A trajety & my prayers go out to their family, but just a freak accident I believe.

Working bike rallies the crew oftens gets frustrated answering stupid questions. Years ago I said to my boss the people here have to be the luckiest people in the world. When he asked why I told him, because they made it here. They don't know how to read a f&^%ing sign but somhow found there way here! I often think of George Carlin's Quote" Just think of how stupid the average person is. Then realize half the people in this world are dummer than him!"

Someday I will be able to watch a football game again. Last year living at the Fort Mom called to see how I was doing & asked what I thout of the Super Bowl. I had to ask who was in it & who won.

Early into the PCT I joine a loose group of solo hikers. It consisted of me & Taro whom had previously hiked the AT & two females who had never done a long distance hike. The PCT is graded (I think 13%) to be equestrian friendly. At one point one of the women complained about how steeep the trail was getting. It was maybe 40% grade. I commented it wasn't steep. On AT steep begins when you stand up & extend your arm& can touch the trail in front of you. They looked at Taro & asked if it was true.…

Glad to hear you had a great trip. Hoping some day to meet & hike with you too!

Just finished Sturgis Bike Week. Was relatively easy. Only 177 hours in two weeks. No big storms. We took a side trip to Denver so guy I was traveling with could visit family. While driving through Kansas there was a tornado back in Denver & I-70 shut down in Fergusen in front of us. Timing is everything!

Praying for a speedy recovery. I want to hear the story of your recovery & the rest of the hike.

Greasy with little meat.

Wild rabbit is so lean people in survival situations can starve on a diet of it. Farm raised rabbit have some fat. Ducks are known to be greasy.

Being alone at Fort bastion I couldn't eat enough freash zucchini, so I started pickling it. With onions, garlic & dill in it it's pretty good!

I said no. I wanted to breed it. Then she asked if I was going to sell the babies. Said no them I was going to eat!

Edge sucks in a big way, maybe they'll fix it, but I don't care I'll still use Chrome until it too pisses me off. ” I'm sticking with Chrome too.
