Good morning! It’s Quinn the Eskimo Eve, or whatever you are celebrating eve. Hopefully at least you got a real tree. 🎄 I choose wilderness, although I guess you can say being born in feed through in a barn is a wilderness in its own way. Nowadays I’m sure people would frown upon somebody having a baby in a barnyard although I’m sure there is a group of back to the land folks promoting it. Probably better than all the plastic at the hospital as straw can be mucked out and returned to the fields. Next Monday is New Years Eve 🎆. Goodbye 2018, on to 2019 and consuming even more plastic. The straw, the muck, and even eating the raw meat and tree bark of the Eskimos seems almost more appealing than the modern science driven world of 2019.
