👀 Scientists Discover a new Species, "Homo sapiens techcuckedensis." We have evolved 😱🤣

Dam straight 🫶🏻🤠✌️

Two side canyons spilling into Peppersauce Canyon like veins—quiet, patient, older than whatever chaos you’re dealing with this week.

You think your life is complicated until you stand somewhere that doesn’t care if you’re there at all.

And somehow… that’s the relief.

Thank you ✌️

Lost, scratched up, sliding down an embankment somewhere between “this is a mistake” and “this is exactly what I needed”

I remembered:

Clarity isn’t something you scroll into. It’s something you walk into.

Take the long way home.

We’re watching the Harlem Globetrotters play the Washington Generals

Democrats are the Washington Generals

I went to the library to get a book on Pavlov's dog and Schrodinger's cat.

The librarian said that she thought it rang a bell but wasn't sure if it was there or not!

Denali mountain hides, partially obscured by clouds and a mountain range Red tundra indicates it’s fall in Denali National Park.

From Mount Ord, Maricopa County, Arizona

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

Octavia E. Butler, 1998:

From up here, all the chaos looks smaller. The paths make more sense. And the horizon?

If things feel heavy right now, don’t quit halfway up your mountain. Most people turn around right before the view changes everything.

Take a breath. Keep climbing.

There’s more waiting for you than you think.

Awesome 😎

John Lennon with a guitar - text: imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I’m a dreamer but I’m not the only one.

A rainbow doesn’t show up when everything’s going right.

It shows up after the storm has done its worst.

The storm is not the end of your story.

It’s the setup for something you can’t see yet.

Stay in it.
Keep moving.
Look up once in a while.

They’re doing prescribed burns like crazy this week in central and southern Arizona.

Is it really worse?

I honestly don’t know.

Sounds like fun

The sunrise was extra special this morning ✌️

Didn’t plan it. Didn’t chase it.

Just happened to be there when the light hit the river and everything went still for a second.

Most things worth seeing aren’t scheduled.

Red Mountain catches the sun. 🌞
The Salt River holds the silence. 🤫

Another day begins with hope 🫶🏻

“I find that in contemplating the natural world my pleasure is greater if there are not too many others contemplating it with me, at the same time.”

Ed Abbey

Standing along the Ladybug Trail, it’s easy to forget how close the heat is below.

Up here, it feels like a different world—cooler, calmer, and steeped in the kind of natural stillness that makes you slow down and take it all in.

A reminder of just how much elevation changes everything.

🚗 A Sudden, Early Automobile Tragedy

Carlos Martinez, Mariana Pacheco, Manuel Sanchez (1917)
• Killed in an automobile accident near Willcox
• Buried together in the cemetery

That detail matters—cars were still relatively new, and fatal accidents were rare enough to stand out.

Walked into Echo Canyon Trail expecting a hike.

Walked out quieter than I went in.
