“Old John Robertson he wore a Stetson hat
People everywhere would laugh behind his back
No one cared to take any time to find out
What he was all about, fear kept them out. “
Many computer hackers – that is people who write or hack together their own software don’t have internet at home. That might seem odd but actually that’s not uncommon as many hackers have a real aversion to technology or how it’s used for social control and advertising. Hackers, while benefiting from the internet as a source of knowledge often find things like social media and the internet a distraction from their work, so they are glad to keep their homes internet free.
Or maybe more like 4:30 AM. Throughout my vacation I ended up getting up early with the time change to maximize my day, often retiring to bed around 7 or no later than eight.
I think I sleep better when I go to sleep earlier and truth be told, I like the extra time in the morning to sip my coffee and work on my blog. I might replace my evening walk this winter with a morning one before my shower then there would be more daylight when getting in my steps.
Earlier to bed would save energy by less heat and light in the evening and certainly wouldn’t be a bad habit to get into.
They should ban mufflers on all cars. They are a kind of suppressor, which reduces the noice cars make. Not being able to hear a car coming puts all pedestrians at risk, especially those with partial blindness. If cars had open pipes, you would be able to hear a car a long distance away, especially when they are accelerating hard, making life in cities much safer.
This winter I hope to do more winter camping. ⛄ Reasonable winter cold (days above 25, nights above 10 degrees, light or no breeze) isn’t a big problem for me but snow and the closure of many back country roads and parking areas is a bigger problem.
The heater helps a lot with the cold ❄ and I’m quite comfortable with the heated tent. 🎪 The truth is that while I use more propane in the winter months, the 20 lb tank is quite affordable to get filled and it really doesn’t take that much energy to warm up a cold tent before bed, then turn off the heater and snuggle under the covers.
Options do exist throughout the winter, depending on the snow depth. There are local state forests, East Branch of the Sacandaga – NY 8, Charles Baker – Cherry Ridge and the Finger Lakes National Forest. None are perfect options but sometimes you have to compromise in the winter. ⛺
For a while I got my hunting license every year and headed out to the field in search of small game. It’s kind of tough to do regularly as I live in the city and nearby public lands are a ways away and many of them have a lot of hunting pressure. I hate sitting out on a ridge and peering down onto another ridge and seeing another hunter with his or her gun. Before and after deer season, it’s not so bad, but still obnoxious.
I know the big treasure is a big buck or a turkey in their respective seasons. But I have no place to hang or quarter a deer where I live plus my freezer is pretty small in my apartment. And what to do with the guts or entrails? I don’t have trash service and I would hate to put good organic material like that in the landfill.
I’d be better if I spent more time in the field. Podcasts and videos are great but they could only teach you so much. I probably would benefit from using a guide service. But it’s kind of hard not being a landowner and living in the city. Sure I don’t mind nights in the woods this time of year but even thru don’t happen all that often. Maybe when I own my own land.
