gap mountain small peak, but "strenuous" in the guide books... park by the swamp cross the stream through woods to the field - then UP past an old ski tow's corpse to an orchard and beyond up to the boulder where I allow myself a rest up some more to the scramble - four-wheel drive only now does the...

( While my ex undergoes chemo, I'm tending her dog, a poodle mix more accustomed to an enclosed backyard surrounded by well-manicured suburban homes and paved streets than to my decidedly less refined lifestyle. Still, she's coming around. Perhaps I'll even be able to restore some of the rough edges...

Re: The Legend of Kevin & Chelsea
Guess we've all known people like that. I've done my share of stuff I'm not proud of, but I don't think I've been a chronic user or exploiter... at least I hope not.

Re: big lie continues
"No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public" - unknown (often misattributed to PT Barnum; possibly paraphrasing HL Mencken) The rise of AI and its inevitable misuse are making it even easier to evade accountability - "I never said that!"

I don't know if she posted much of her own work outside the Haiku forum - but she commented everywhere, like a cheerleader, leaving words of encouragement for everyone else. I just thought "In Memoriam" was incomplete without some mention of her name.

Re: big lie continues
her father-in-law said COVID would just "go away on its own" - he failed to mention the 400,000+ Americans it would take with it. He said that no one in history has suffered as much abuse as he has. I suspect residents of Auschwitz & Buchenwald might disagree with him. He said Mexico would pay for a...

Re: perpetual jam!!!!!!!!!
thanks - been looking back myself lately, too like when you climb a mountain your eyes focus on the trail watching your feet stepping here not stepping there til you reach the overlook - then you look up sky back the miles you've hiked maybe a river below or a pond or even an old road that cost you ...

Re: Cancer Warrior....Version Two
love the imagery in these, totemic symbols depicting a contemporary theme. Our forebrains may be exploring the cosmos, but we still live by our hindbrains - it's still who we are. I hope your battle drives out the demon - my ex is going through it too. You're both in my thoughts.
