More context.

Stromatolites were the first life form on Earth 3.8 billion years ago on the ocean floor.

Stromatolites were on the ocean floor. Hard to comprehend.

Yes, we are small in the big picture.

Grinnell Glacier Hike
Hung my iPhone out the side and snapped this.

 

The icebergs were small, but they were still icebergs. In a lake no less, not an ocean. Over a mile above sea level.

The couple that almost walked into the Grizzly sat next to us on the boat shuttle back to the hotel.

They were so shaken, they turned around and canceled their hike.

Even without the stunning views it was beautiful

Logan Pass
Howard’s head blocked the whole point of this photo. And smoke blocked the rich mountain details.

 

Logan Pass
i thought it was funny when i saw i messed up the previous photo,

Logan Pass
Late Summer and the seeds are prolific.

 

Logan Pass
Visitor Center quickly begins to fade away as we hike 1.5 miles up.

 

Logan Pass
A rare moment of sunshine.

 

Logan Pass
Have never witnessed smoke at Logan Pass. Going to the Sun Mountain is almost invisible.

 

Logan Pass
Hidden Lake Trail overlook. Try to visit without taking some photos. Dare ya.

 

Logan Pass
Eventually, we put our cameras back in our pockets.

 

Logan Pass
Descent.

 

Logan Pass
By 8:00 AM in the Summer, it’s full.

 

After dinner, we drove 20 minutes back up to Logan Pass for a three-mile (500′ elevation gain) warm-up hike.

The stunning views were nowhere to be found. i didn’t belabor it. Howard understood and i was grateful for that.

Being the only humans at the overlook, it was remarkably creepy.

Quiet, wild, and potentially vulnerable are understatements.

Driving the speed limit may save your life

Traffic accident
Ride my bike past here three times every week.

 

car accident
No telling what time this happened. Praying no one was hurt.

 

car accident
Reminded by this morning’s near miss on the drive to the airport how things can change in an instant.

 

Driving the speed limit may save your life.

To know is to do. To know and not do, is to not yet know.

In giving up on ever finding love, love found me

Dear Son, you’re 16.

What you are about to read is not me talking to you, it’s me (at 58) talking to a 16-year old me.

Here’s what i’d tell my 16-year old self today.

“You are so inexperienced it’s not even funny. You think you have much of life figured out – you know, how your life will unfold and so on. Not to make you feel bad jeff, but you will literally be wrong, long term, on all the 16-year old beliefs you think are solid right now.”

Being organized means over-focusing on things

Orlando homeowner
Teamwork yesterday.

 

Being organized means over-focusing on things you used to neglect.

An indoor security camera revealed a hired worker doing something in our home that was not appropriate.

i nipped it in the bud.

On short notice, Chapin and i finished a project together.

Without the camera, and a gut feeling, i would have never discovered the truth about the young man i thought i could trust.
