Off the map, home

Highline Trail
Almost to the summit.

What does ‘off the map’ mean?

It means you are stepping back to a time when our ancestors walked past the village line and ventured out into the unknown.

It means you could die, or at the very least severely and permanently injure yourself. Depending how ‘deep in’ you are, no one may know for a few days.

Gone country, home

During the height of Covid-19’s stay at home order, Florida allowed outside exercise. Bicycling at WDW was perfect, logging 30 miles per day.

What does it mean when someone says, I’ve gone country?

Something like this Brad Paisley song featured in the all-time top country songs.

The actual song is here called “Welcome to the Future“.

Live, and let live, home

Flag at half staff happens too often.

In our lifetimes, we’ll see our flag at half mast fairly often.

That flag looks familiar. Home Sweet Home.

Is “Live and let live” my mantra?

Yes.

In fact, i pair it like this…

To each their own. Live and let live.

You do your life.

i’ll do my life.

We’ll both do a lawful, moral life.

We should be fine if everyone does this.

To each their own, home

American Flag
From 100-mph gusts to no wind in 24 hours. Our flag spent the night in our garage.

What does it mean to me when i say, “To each their own”?

Every American is free to believe and do whatever they want.

The context, however, is that every American is a law-abiding citizen.

There’s also the context of the obvious American morals.

i am, like you are, free to do and believe whatever i want.

But, i must not take away your ability to live freely.

The easiest way for me, and everyone, to do this is to be a moral, law-abiding American citizen.

Good, home

Disney Customer Service Keynote Speaker
Make your word as good as your handshake.

Is ‘good’ all it’s cracked up to be?

Yes.

Why?

What if ‘bad’ was humanity’s standard?
