No, I haven’t forgotten part II of “The Authentic Life.” Working on it. The Commentariat out-brillianted me, however, so I have to rethink a bit. Probably tomorrow. Meanwhile, if you enjoy the blog please donate to my fundraiser.
“She quietly worked as a secretary for 67 years … then left $8.2 million to charity.”
Reminds me of one of my elementary school teachers, many years ago. A lifelong bachelor, he lived in the house he grew up in. When he died, he donated $1 million to the public library.
All systems are rigged however isn’t the best rigged system one that gives choice thru freedom versus a system of those choices being limited and determined by people who think they know what is best for the rest?
Both Mosby and Max Velocity have been advocating “rucking” as PT. Another almost universal seems to be that Alice frames suck, unless you modify them, and there are folks out there doing that. But the Marines switched to ILBE, and that stuff is out there in the milsurp world. It’s a little funny reading some of the debate on that stuff. A lot of people like the Alice packs and rucks, but very few like the frames, and of course there’s tons of tacticool crap out there. Tam likes to mention the “shoot me first vest” sometimes, and a backpack that screams “OPERATOR” could fall into that category, so that seems to disqualify milsurp packs anyway.
I actually started riding my bicycle again. Oh gawd! I have a long ways to go. But for me it beats the snot out of running as exercise.
