Morning, Neo.

As a kid, I spent a lot of my youth in the woods. Hearing the breezes blow through the pines was like hearing the spirits talk to me as a kid. I’ve never been a church guy, but that is where I feel the strongest spiritual connection, even though I spent chunks of my life harvesting forests to pay the bills in my early working days.

I will not vote for Hillary or Bernie, so yes, if he’s the nominee I will vote for Trump, bc I will not sit home. But to listen to this crap about rainbows and unicorns shooting out of Trump’s behind once he’s president, because of all the wonderful stuff he’s going to do, is just ludicrous. The hope is that it’s not going to be as bad as I fear it will be. And as xshub says, we are entirely powerless, there’s not a single thing we can do to alter what will happen.

the worst we had was from 6-8 or so, hail and high winds. xshub was supposed to be on a 3pm flight to Atlanta yesterday. After 5-6 delays and gate changes, it was cancelled and he came home, rebooked to leave at 6 am today. He made it there ok.

what is this BS I got in an email? Ann Coulter is seriously over the edge!

Dear Reader, According to the U.S. government, the illegal immigrant population has flatlined at 11 million people for the last decade. However, after conducting a nationwide investigation that took her to the frontlines of this crisis, Ann Coulter has come forward with alarming evidence that proves the true number of illegal immigrants who have crossed our border has exploded past 30 million. And it could be as high as 60 million people. Even more frightening, Coulter is now levying a shocking allegation against Washington D.C. She accuses the government of intentionally covering up the truth in order to hide a historic catastrophe that is barreling towards us. In this short video, Coulter is going public with everything and naming names. She exposes a Federal program that could cause crime and poverty rates in your town to triple virtually overnight. And I strongly suggest you examine her findings immediately. This way, you can avoid being one of the countless Americans who will be blindsided by this fast-approaching, $261 billion threat to your financial security and personal safety.

Ah, the freakin joys of business travel.

I’m not usually too big on coffee anymore, but I’m having a couple cups today. It’s been a long morning already. At least they’re bring us in lunch today, from a really good place, with soup and all.

Lowest bidder, right? This is all gov’t trying to clean up a mess left by a private non-profit that just disbanded and left the site vacant.

I hope they put a Sheetz in, but we’ll see. There’s nothing in the works, that’s just people conjecturing. The site is actually pretty large.

All that and it’s a good place to go drink beer when you’re a teenager.

Hiking is great therapy. Hippy dippies may call it forest bathing or the like, but it’s the same thing.

It’s always good to get back to nature, weather its the woods or the beach or a garden or just in the backyard with your feet in the grass.
