I was so chilled through at home I took a long time to get out and hiking today

I was so chilled through at home I took a long time to get out and hiking today. 😨

I should have turned up the heat this morning, I make good money but I got my first winter heating bill yesterday and I wasn’t prepared to spend much more money.

I am not ready for winter. Maybe if I had a small cabin and a wood stove for heat I’d feel different about the winter. But with no real snow fall this winter yet and relatively mild weather predicted I just find it hard to accept its already winter.

It supposedly is around 50 degrees outside but it feels much colder on the Dickinson Hill Fire Tower. It probably is. But I like the views and looking out at the rural countryside at the farms, the forests and the mountains. The not pretty land but the rough and cold land that waits for spring time to come. 

Towards Bennington

It was windy and cold on the tower but it's nice to get away and I like looking at the rural landscape in with all its browns and grays against the deep blue skies. The Petersburg Ridge reminds me a bit of West Virginia.

What if Bible True?

The sign in rural Rennselear County asked, “What if Bible True?” ✝️

If it is, we are all fucked, it’s as simple as that. Even if it’s not true we probably are fucked. Humanity has proven itself time and time again to be non sustainable, I really doubt there is all that much of a future ahead for us a species. And for all that bible worshipping and humping out there it seems like most religious folk don’t do much to live up to the words in the good book.
