I wasn’t allowed to watch much media as a kid but some exceptions were made. Frank Capra’s oeuvre was one of those exceptions. Mr Smith Goes to Washington was a classic of civic duty. And now as a Montana citizen it has special meaning to me. The film is about a naive, newly appointed United States […]

The one thing that really unites the American west, but in particular the Rocky Mountain West, is our independent streak. We take our rights seriously. We don’t like being told what to do by the government. I hope to contribute to this tradition in my own efforts as a citizen. I’m pleased to support a […]
As a sign of just how fast the world is changing, my goal of making it to a thousand straight days of writing is officially pointless. ChatGPT4 is pretty good at mimicking all styles of writing. AI has come to rescue us from the drudgery of being a workdcel just as it once rescued my […]
As I slowly walked myself out of surgery yesterday, I thought to myself “I actually feel much better!” And I genuinely did. If you have a gentle stomach, maybe stop reading here. I’m fine. I’m on my way to well. And this will be graphic. I do feel dramatically better having had the “slouching towards […]

Day 1652 and Back in Istanbul
I’m a mess and somewhat scared. This abcess saga has grown from dismissive preventative care visit (which I did did out of an abundance precaution) and ended with me meeting a general surgeon at a Turkish medical tourism hospital tomorrow to discuss labs and my ultrasound. It’s my second time this year so that’s quite […]
I’m fairly well branded as a doomer, so I hate to break ranks with my preparedness brethren, but I’m absolutely sick of the powerful using fear as a tool to control people. It isn’t a new problem. This is the go-to tactic our species has used insofar as we can verify with written history. Any […]
I’ve got a comically large sleep debt to work off. My Whoop is screaming at me as it’s been 3 days of not quite getting in an adequate of sleep. And it’s not as if I was enjoying great sleep for June. It’s possible my new Whoop hardware just has bee algorithm and set of […]

Day 1637 and Day Tripping
It’s positively verdant in the Rocky Mountain west. This far into June it doesn’t seem as if it should be Irish countryside green heading into Wyoming. Both because I was driving, and an iPhone picture can’t ever do a landscape of such texture and vastness any amount of justice, I have few pictures. We’ve got […]

Day 1625 and Hot and Cold
I am older than my husband but only by enough (a year and change) to let me land middle aged jokes. We celebrated his birthday at Costco. We are spending Saturday grilling. We own a Subaru. I think the jig is up. I’ve been fighting to restore my body to “factory settings” since we made […]
It’s been a busy week for the MilFred family as it has been busy for many families across the word. We are praying for you. This morning Alex and I were excited to attend the “Digital Assets Public Hearing” in Bozeman put on by The Commissioner of Securities and Insurance Office of the Montana State […]
