100% fatality rate, home

It’ll take a few seconds, or a few decades. Depends on the goal.

Spam text — This text is brilliant marketing. The sender is preying on the receiver becoming so annoyed they respond. The spammer then wins. The spammer is aiming to “win” with every text.

Apple customer experience feedback message — Brent, my Apple associate, was remarkable. Gave him a glowing review. There were glitches in the brand new tradeout to the smaller phone. He was so graceful.

None of us get out of this life alive.

Not sure of my best-home-life-habits fatality rate after i’m gone.

Over-focus on the same things you used to under-focus on or ignore.

Last day, home

34-second video: Kevin and Suzie create Sperry Magic year round.

Frank Sinatra.

Unstoppable.

Brand new day, home

hotel room view in winter next to interstate — A room with a view.

15-second video: Family video message.

A new day also offers another day’s commitment in a long streak of committed days, months, years, and/or decades.

High country snow, home

snow covered mountain cliffs — Continental Divide.

19-second video: Neighbor video message. This day, Halloween 2024, is my 10th Disney-retirement anniversary.

The echo…

The similarities are everywhere. All the time. Endlessly.

Once i saw the endless similarities, the “inspiring honeymoon differences” aren’t worth chasing.

Relocating from where we call home is a nonsensical daydream.

Home is the life-long honeymoon.

Palm trees and sunshine.

Walt Disney World less than one mile away.

Lifetime Disney annual passes.

Nightly Magic Kingdom fireworks from every back window.

Each month 29 out of 30 days is sunny.

Tropical, colorful landscape. Year-round.

Pool water temperature bearable 10 months per year.

Everything i need, except my Allergist, is within walking distance, including Walt Disney World.

Note: It’s easier to bicycle to Disney’s Animal Kingdom than walk.

New, then spooky

mountain lake — Looking back at Avalanche Lake’s far shoreline. That distant shore is where the trail ends for nearly everyone.

two mountain goats on a mountain side — Top, left-center: Two Mountain Goats. No idea how i spotted them. i never look for them on this trail.

15-second video: Cannot explain how i spotted these two mountain goats. Definitely wasn’t looking for them.

Apple Watch at trailhead sign — The 5-mile roundtrip hike morphed into this. Love it!

mountain road — Hello! Driving from Avalanche back to hotel. Stopped at a few overlooks because the Park is literally deserted. This overlook is near Scared Dancing Cascade.

Hiking to the far end was invigorating.

Why?

Because it’s a brand new experience.

Then it got spooky.

No one but me in this isolated location.

Started talking to myself to project my voice to help avoid surprises. Surprising a big animal is a potentially dangerous situation.

It was a cool vibe to turn a ‘forecasted’ sedentary day into a seven-mile trek.

Note: There was a potential Grizzly encounter that is worth sharing. But not today.
