Greetings from Oregon. I’m at my cousins wedding at a camp in logging country between Portland and the Pacific coast. I stayed in an awesome little town called Vernonia. It was built with timber money and now they are pivoting toward an outdoor activity destination.
The morning of the wedding I biked 25 miles. I took a quick shower and nap then left for the ceremony. From the direction I was entering the mountains, the road was closed. The highway detour would be over an hour so I tried my luck with a logging road to bypass the construction. It was going well until the road ended three miles short of the camp.
I walked. I bushwhacked to the wedding. I emerged from the forest, right behind the campground director who said “where did you just come from?”

Childhood is a process of de-enlightenment.
Enlightenment is the unprogrammed state.
The flavor of life is on the edge.
I live on the other side of fear. Put a gun to my head and I’ll pull the trigger.
