Coyote
I like Coyotes. I like seeing them run effortlessly, I like that they’ve better than doubled their range in the last 500 years, and I love their call, which I do not hear nearly enough. It makes me very sad that they’re so reviled in the west. So I sent in my entry to this,…

Blogger Sucks!
Error messages plus a busy week mean I have no patience. On to other things…. Approx. 5 minutes ago Student: Can you look something up for me? Me: What would that be? Student: Gothic tinkerbell. Me: No. The past two evenings have been spent out on trail runs, placing books out on the PMC course.…

Blahblahblah
Loads of stuff to do at work, good to be back nonetheless. After 17 months I fit, which is empowering. More grading to do now. The route, checks, and campground/start-finish for the PMC are finalized. Unable and unwilling to make Topofusion do my bidding to my satisfaction, I spent 90 minutes tracing trails on 5…

More coincidences
I was less along than I thought this past Saturday, the illustrious Davy Crockett was busting out this loop: I must have passed him while he was refueling at Phantom Ranch a bit before 0700. I saw a green light far below me on the South Kaibab just as I was entered the Vishnu, and…

Minority Report
All the way from Blair Choate in Idaho. Appropriate, given my whinging on the singlespeed this evening. It’s good having a rigid SS again, it’ll keep me from getting lazy with the tech. Nonetheless, my opinion that flat bars are complete and utter shit continues to solidify. Much less power climbing, much less grip descending.…
