"Star Trek was an attempt to say that humanity will reach maturity and wisdom on the day that it begins not just to tolerate, but take a special delight in differences in ideas and differences in life forms."

Did this hike just a few weeks ago—perhaps on the last day before the winter sets in, and it becomes a different adventure needing snowshoes and other gear.
An insanely good hike, well worth a visit in different seasons

A reminder today that we can all be gruntled, ruthful, mayed, ept, couth, kempt, feckful and full of gorm.

A brief reminder that to 'spuddle' (17th century) is to work feebly and ineffectively, because your mind is either somewhere else, or hasn't yet shifted into gear.

Morning team. A little self-care advice for a Sunday morning. The past couple of weeks has seen a gradual increase in the brutality of imagery coming out of Ukraine. We have gone from destruction of objects to increasingly visceral destruction of people.
