4.5 mile hike sans my inhaler. It was 20 degrees when we started and ended. Uphill all the way to the turn around. That sucked. I did however experience my own personal Indian Sweat Lodge, which is what I wanted to do.
10 of them took off like a mule train on a mission. We caught Cathy headed back and the three of us completed the 4.5 miles out and back, together.
We had some stunning views and some whore frost, and a few frosty whores. 😂🤣😂😳 There was a little Bit of drama, a whole lot of therapy, and some great core connection between the 3 of us. Cathy, Chris(Tina) and me. Chris is a Christina and hates her name. I was Chris until 10th grade.
Overall, great day. Home, had a hot shower, and about to have some red light therapy & a movie.
Task or relationship? Hiking for some is a task outing. There to conquer the mountain in the least amount of time as possible, get out and get back get home.
Or hiking can be about relationship. There to be in relationship with those you are with, enjoy the views and engage with nature. Be in relationship with nature. The three of us were there for relationship. 9 were on task. A talking freight train.
We saw 2 potentially red winged hawks. I have to look them up, some deer, and a whole lot of whore frost. There were a few frosty whores, too.
Gonna stash an inhaler in my hiking pack.
Relationship or task oriented? Which one are you? Or is it situational?
Devil’s Backbone
Make it a great day!!!!
It was a white tailed hawk.
Russian Il-76 military transport aircraft have made an unusually dense series of flights to Tehran since late December as nationwide protests spread across Iran, according to The Moscow Times on January 9.
The outlet cited the trade publication Air Cargo Week as saying that Il-76TD aircraft, presented as civilian flights, operated regular rotations from Mineralnye Vody in southern Russia to Tehran between December 27, 2025, and January 1, 2026, routing over the Caucasus and avoiding airspace controlled by NATO member states.
“The Islamic Republic is today a zombie regime,” argues Karim Sadjadpour of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. “Its legitimacy, ideology, economy and leader are dead or dying. What keeps it alive is lethal force. It kills to live and lives to kill. Brutality can delay the regime’s funeral, but it can’t restore the pulse.”
