After a long draught that has lasted years, we had some solid rain that was most welcome. What was not welcome was the swarms of bugs that made their presence known. A bug called a midge has been a real

I miss riding my roadie. Living out in the countryside has a whole lot of benefits, but the roads out here a bit wild and not for skinny tires. Have fun!

We all have personal agency. That does mean being responsible for our own behavior. So if someone is toxic or a stressful person to be around and all intervention discussions have fallen on deaf ears,

Coffee is good at any time. It's my favorite beverage besides water. I always have a cup of coffee and a glass of water on the table next to me while I work. Those two beverages are the companions to my
