I'm extra salty today, because my chronically ill, disabled, immunocompromised, elderly father, looked at me with haunted eyes and said, "And what happens if my Social Security just stops coming?"

And I wanted to burn the whole fucking world down. That he's living in fear is SO FUCKING WRONG.

Image of a red mineralization collection on a large rock formation in the Ozarks. We think it might be cinnabar but we are unsure.

An image of a fossil-like formation in the rock next to an Ozark lake. The formation looks to be from a branch with ridges and smooth surfaces.

An image of a cloven hoof-shaped indention in the rock.

Had to escape to nature today.

We found some interesting rock formations and a momentary lack of overwhelming anxiety.

What are you doing for your sanity today?
