Today I turned 40 years old with a bottle of champagne and my family on a summit overlooking the North Cascades. We kicked off the weekend on the Pacific Crest Trail at Harts Pass near Canada. The PCT was the first “big girl” trail I hiked after moving to Seattle in 2013. Spending time in complete silence (for hours) was a first for me. It truly changed my life. When I finally grew comfortable paying attention without immediately reacting, I was really able to listen and see life around me in a way I never had before. If someone asks what really led to the end of my career, it was an internal shift I have a hard time describing but ultimately resembles self-awareness, and it probably began on the PCT. I met several through hikers this weekend who started at the Mexico border and were almost done. I asked what they planned to do after such an accomplishment. “Go home and get back to work,” most said. At first it seems anticlimactic but I remember Trent Peterson, a young man whose story I told years ago, as he rode wild mustangs along the PCT. He used to say that the PCT is just a trail, what matters is that we slow down, pay attention and see clearly whatever path we’re on. I looked up a quote from that report to share with you all.
“This isn't to advocate for the PCT. The PCT is just a trail. Get out of the rat race and slow down. Pay attention to the little things, not just the big things, because it's the whole picture we need to be aware of," he said.
We went to the Dunedin Celtic Festival last weekend and had our usual fare - haggis. It’s known as the official meal of Scotland. It’s essentially organ meats cooked in sheep’s stomach. Yum! My dad, Dr Chip, explains (while wearing a kilt) why haggis is so healthy. And if you don’t like haggis, you can get some similar nutrition in the cod liver/butter oil I take daily - link below!

Carla the hen is a very special chicken. She doesn’t eat store bought feed out of some dirty bucket! No my friends, she dines 5 stars.⭐️
I discovered that our mini Nubian goat, Sundae, had a tick on her teat while milking her yesterday. Thankfully Lynn had to pull a few off himself in combat with unique tricks and we successfully recovered the tick, head intact.

Before Germany's 3rd Reich, there was the 2nd. Which nobody talks about. The 2nd was the tactical model for the 3rd. And evil as homemade sin!
Much of the same is happening today, under other names And the USA is party to it.
