Plowing snow. Tending chickens, runs and beehives. Cutting up fallen trees. We live in the forest and everything that matters wants our attention right now. Your choice is a wise one.

You c'mon on down! Florida might as well be a country unto it's own.

I'm busy packing (and reading substack in between) and anxiously waiting to move to Montana from Oregon! Not before I vote for Christine Drazan (R) for governor of Oregon though!

Enjoy the space. French composer Claude Debussy said, “Music is the space between the notes.”

Or if you're feeling frisky; "it's in the way that you use it"......gulp

Did you ever notice that rock n roll has no space between the notes?

It's pouring rain outside. How's about I play my guitar and pet my cat.

At least rain serves a purpose.

Enjoy the fresh air and mentally prepare for the disgusting nothing-but-hot air that’s going to be coming from the talking heads and meat-puppets next week(s).

Spent the day running the tractor over mountains of leaves. Good work. My son released a new song this week. Thanks for the opportunity to share it.

LOL.

Yeah if you gave them a can of paint, and told them it was wet, they'd have to touch it to make sure.

Your plan to get back to Nature sounds like a good way to keep all this manmade bullshittery in perspective. Of course, given that our elites seem hell bent on dismantling civilization in the name of "green energy" (so-called because of the color of the money flowing into the wallets of the climate-change con-artists) and DEI mandates, we may see Mother Nature crashing in upon us soon, reminding us why our forebears constructed these institutions and technologies in the first place.

Well Chris have fun!

If you see a little brush fire out there in the wide open, remember it's just like a little stupid; you have to stomp it out.

"a little stupid" is wishful thinking. Stupid, as someone once observed, goes clear to the bone.

@chris I am doing the same. enjoying the wonderful end of summer weather in the bay area prob a few days to maui to rejuvenate and renew and perhaps reflect on both brandon’s speech and that hairhead rant on jesse waters the other day, and the unbearable lightness of being governed by beotians .....

That’s a good call. I think I’ll do the same after watching a clip this morning where some asshat with mold in his brain ranted on msnbc that conservatives want to steal and kill kids off the streets.
