In 1967, President Johnson created a commission to investigate racial unrest in America. But, the answer they came up with was not the answer he was hoping for.
The Kerner Commission had a lot of thoughtful analysis about the problems facing our cities but its advice was all but ignored and problems only got worse over time.

Good Friday 2033. A deeply religious day for Christians as they remember those hours of darkness.
You will get an extra three days to file your taxes that year. It will be my 50th year of life, by which I’m hoping to have more than 20 years in with the state and can be well on my way to owning that off-grid homestead.

One of the concerns my therapist brought up with my love of travel and exploring the wilderness is that the risk of me having some kind of accident like falling into a gorge with nobody has else around to call for help and I essentially disappear off the map to not be found potentially for days or decades.
Exploring has its risks, especially when you are alone and doing your own thing. But as they say, freedom is not free. You take calculated risks and you live with the consequences. I don’t rush to edge of something that could be slippery and I try to be mindful of everything I do in the woods as I know there is no help but my own.
