CloseEnmanuel:I need a break from snow and cold, bring on the summer
The Crewe thinks you and RC would be happier down at our home at 5800', a world of springtime, the olde fashioned way! It's correlated with elevation.
Meanwhile, Eric his Crewe and ours would be happy at any altitude
Haha-
Shorts weather again, home with M. Aurelius, my favourite book, and his negative image F Scott. I'd forgotten - having g read all of F Scott in 8th grade - how besotted he was, and how drunken his characters were thus. Depressing now.
nberry:I’m not much of a Fitzgerald fan. Feel the same about Hemingway.👍
FSF is vastly superior to Hemingway; his sentences in Gatsby are magic. Ernest is just badly over rated.
I thought of RC and Enmanuel -- because of how they relish the Cold, Frozen North -- reading this:
"Dark spruce forest frowned on either side the frozen waterway. The trees had been stripped by a recent wind of their white covering of frost, and they seemed to lean towards each other, black and ominous, in the fading light. A vast silence reigned over the land. The land itself was a desolation, lifeless, without movement, so lone and cold that the spirit of it was not even that of sadness. There was a hint in it of laughter, but of a laughter more terrible than any sadness - a laughter that was mirthless as the smile of the sphinx, a laughter cold as the frost and partaking of the grimness of infallibility. It was the masterful and incommunicable wisdom of eternity laughing at the futility of life and the effort of life. It was the Wild, the savage, frozen- hearted Northland Wild.
But there WAS life, abroad in the land and defiant. Down the frozen waterway toiled a string of wolfish dogs. Their bristly fur was rimed with frost. Their breath froze in the air as it left their mouths, spouting forth in spumes of vapour that settled upon the hair of their bodies and formed into crystals of frost....."

For sailors of ocean racing yachts or seamen out there, nothing beats the powerful language of Conrad, hearkening me back racing the '72 Bermuda Race, one of the fiercest storms in history. A taste near the start:

I can smell the wet labs from here. Are you familiar with this organization to help parents who homeschool with the elements of a classical education. Whilst one does not have children in school, I’ve become an advocate for homeschooling given the dire state of public education in the States. https://www.circeinstitute.org/our-story

Yes, Circe is excellent, and the colleges they recommend. The Communists succeeded in destroying most of the education system of Western Civilization.
Now that my alma maters - Cornell, The Johns Hopkins and Harvard Universities have all sunk down the sewer of Woke and Communism, you can't trust any Ivy classics department, in fact other than engineering and computer sciences, there's nothing of value left at the famous schools, even Stanford.
One is better off now becoming an electrician and educating one's self by reading.

Of my three alma maters, the one I held the least hope for has become the most promising, the University of Chicago with the student lead The Chicago Thinker website. https://thechicagothinker.com/ The university even sent the CCP funded Confucius Institute packing a few years ago despite housing the Axelrod Institute on politics.
I do like the black one, the silver while a '20, is $40k more without the leather interior, easy to refinish those nasty black wheels. We'll see, thanks guys.
Whilst the road to our favourite jump off is blocked by fallen trees, and I'm not allowed to use a chainsaw at moment, but we hiked into view of the head wall over to Eric's

All clear on my side of the ridge. Temperatures like in the mid of summer.
