And what feels like a lifetime ago, when Alex and I were searching for the perfect property on which to have our little homestead experiment, we were on our second scouting trip in the Gallatin County area when an almost impossibly perfect property went on the market. I was particularly adamant about finding something that […]

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 […]
I guess I am going push past two thousand days of writing, come hell or high water. It’s funny that three years ago on day 804 (March 15 2023) I was blogging that all written content will be made by artificial intelligence soon. In the post, I said I planned to keep writing the manual […]

I am a wreck. But now that everyone is discovering the value of daily writing (get in the repetition before the AI harms your skill), I have to gut it out as usual when I’ve got little in the way of cogent thought. In an attempt to recover, I’m in a hyperbaric chamber sucking back […]
I write every post on my blog with my own mind and my own hands. I type on my phone whatever my mind has managed to organize on a given day. It’s a ritual for thinking more than an attempt at being read by others. Funnily enough, on Day 804 aka March 15 2023 (the […]
My head hurts, I’ve lost my voice and I’m achy everywhere but I’ve got something resembling a tan and my lymph glands are only a little swollen. Is this is the halfway point of the summer season I feel like I’m doing it rather well. That is rare for me as summer is traditionally my […]
