"So what is your master plan then?" Reece asks as he comes out the spare bathroom.
There's a towel wrapped around his waist and he's drying his hair with another one. He smells clean and looks better than he did a while ago. After Judd had declared his decision Emmet had started sulking, not talking to Judd or Reece and looking away every time they tried to look at him. Judd had given up trying to bring him around and encouraged Reece to take a bath. Reece's hungover state had been stinking up the apartment as more and more of the booze worked its way out of his pores. Judd had contented himself playing on his xBox and eventually Emmet had joined in. Now the two men are in a neck and neck race on Grand Theft Auto, each trying to knock the other out and win the race. They barely look up as Reece walks out after his bath. He collapses on the sofa with a sigh, having nabbed a pair of Judd's sweat pants and a loose t-shirt.
The game goes on for ages and eventually Reece gets tired of watching and listening to the two friends swear at each other. He reaches over and presses the pause button on Judd's control. Judd looks at him, about ready to fly off the handle. Reece holds up his hands and starts talking.
"First of all, thanks for the bath," he says quickly, "I feel like an actual person now and it's great. Secondly, thanks for the clothes, I don't think I've ever worn anything so comfy. And thirdly… if we're going ahead with this whole teaching Obo a lesson thing I want to know the plan before we do anything or put any of the wheels in gear,"
Judd looks at Reece for a moment.
"XBox off," he commands at last.
Emmet gives a squawk of unhappiness but Judd ignores him. He stands and walks over to the window, looking out over the entire city which was starting to light up as the sun set. Then he turns and takes a seat on the large armchair that sits in front of the window. He leans forwards, elbows on his knees and looks at his two right hand men.
"I'm gonna call Obo," Judd says eventually. "I'll tell him that I want us to meet up and actually talk about Charlie's disappearance. He wants me to let him do more with holding over Charlie's part of Farlow so I'll use that to draw him out. And he'd get suspicious if I didn't want to meet face to face. It was me who wanted the truce to be arranged in person. He'll probably know that I want in with Mr Big too, and he'll know that I know that he's been spreading lies to the big man."
"That's a lot of people knowing a lot of different things," Reece says slowly. "I'm confused,"
"Shut up you idiot," Emmet snaps, feigning that he is going to hit Reece around the head. Reece falls for it and wraps his arms around his head. "Carry on Judd. You're gonna make him come alone right?"
"He'd smell something was up if I didn't," Judd says with a smirk. "I'm just gonna do what he'd expect me to do. I'll get him to come alone. We won't be meeting in any building or anything, that's too hard to keep safe. I'm going get him to meet me at the underpass near Sumners."
"What if he doesn't want to meet us on our turf," Emmet asks quickly, interrupting Judd. "I mean, the guy's an idiot but he's not that stupid,"
Judd fights down the urge to smack Emmet around the head for interrupting. It's a fair question and one that he's given a lot of thought to.
"If he wants to meet on his patch we'll meet at Bush Fair underpass," he says. Emmet and Reece both nod, "It's the furtherest point from the precinct where most of his cronies hang out and it's right on the edge of his territory. There are some bushes nearby that you two can hide in."
"What if he brings guys of his own?" Reece asks, biting a nail.
"He's too cocky to do that," Judd says with a smirk, "He'll probably think that he can take on me and anyone else I bring along. He thinks he's really hard and a great fighter. But he isn't and I know it. I've seen the guy fight, he can't punch for shit. So I'll meet him and you two can hang back and listen in. Then I'll confront him. I'll ask him about the lies he's been telling and whether he's trying to fuck me over or not. He'll probably deny it the little shit. That's when I'm going to say 'we need to talk' and you two need to both appear on either side of him."
"What then?" Reece asks hesitantly, as though he doesn't want to know the answer. "We're going to beat the crap out of him?"
"No," Judd says sharply, shaking his head hard, "That's when I lay down the law. I tell him what's what and what he's going to do. He's going to retract what he said about our stuff to Mr Big and anyone else he's been talking shit to. And then I'm going to tell him to back off Charlie's patch and let us keep babysitting it until Charlie gets back."
"And if he doesn't agree?" Reece asks.
"That's when we rough him up a bit," Emmet says, bloodthirstily. "We give him a bit of what it's worth so he knows not to fuck with us again,"
"That's when we show him we mean business," Judd corrects. "We give him a few punches sure but nothing too serious or damaging. Then we'll show him the knives and tell him that's what he'll have to deal with next time."
"Sounds like a plan," Emmet says eventually, clearly a little impressed. "Got a nice bit of violence that shows we're not soft but nothing that could get us beaten up for. Good compromise Judd. Right Reece?"
"I suppose," Reece says reluctantly. He sighs, "It's better than anything else we came up with I suppose."
Judd looks at the two guys that are his right hand men. He trusts them completely and utterly. He knows that they'll always have his back and he's happy that they're on side. He knows that neither is really that happy with what Judd has come up with but he also knows that there's no other way to meet both of their ideas in a way that won't go horribly wrong. He smiles at the guys and reaches for his mobile.
"Obo," Judd says when the other end is answered, "We need to talk, face to face."
"About what Judith?" Obo says with a sneer in his voice, "Wanna accuse me of fucking your mum now?"
"We need to talk about Charlie," Judd says. He's breathing slowly, fighting against the urge to start screaming after Obo has called him a girl and insulted his mother.
"We've already talked about Charlie," Obo says. "That's what all of those phone calls were about last night or did I miss something? Has he suddenly reappeared and wants to thank us with chocolate and roses?"
"We need to talk about what we're doing about his patch," Judd says, ploughing on and determined to ignore everything else that Obo says that isn't relevant to his plan, "And we need to do it face to face. The underpass at Sumners, 7pm?"
"No way am I going on your pussy boy territory," Obo says, "I'll probably catch something. We do it on my patch,"
"Fine," Judd snaps, "Bush Fair underpass work for you. It's close to my patch but still on yours,"
"Yeah whatever," Obo says. He sucks through his teeth. "You better come alone Judith, I don't wanna see none of those pussy white boys of yours,"
"As long as you come on your own," Judd says, "And I don't want to see any of your gang hiding out in the trees and bushes either,"
"Bush Fair Underpass, 7 o clock," Obo says, "Now fuck off and leave me alone, I'm busy."
The phone clicks silent and Judd is left with a bleeping tone. He looks at his phone for a moment before tossing it on the sofa, beside Reece.
"Well that's sorted then," Judd says with a sigh. "Be here tomorrow well before seven so we can head there and you can find a decent place to hide. And wear dark clothes, not those bright Hawaiian shirts you love so much Emmet,"
"Aww come on," Emmet says with a whine, "Those shirts are cool."
"They're ugly and they hurt my eyes," Judd says, "Why can't you buy some decent clothes, you've got the money?"
"I like my shirts," Emmet says, pouting again.
"Whatever," Judd says before the discussion has a chance to devolve into a ridiculous argument, "You guys just go and do something else. Preferably somewhere else. I've got class later and I need to finish the reading."
The two boys laugh at Judd.
"You've always got your nose in a book mate," Reece says, "If I didn't know you I'd think you were a right geek,"
"I just want to do well on my course," Judd says, "I've got to do well so I can help my dad."
"We know mate, we know," Emmet says soothingly. "And we respect you for it. It's just funny hearing a drug lord talking about having to go to class. It's like hearing a blonde say she's got to go and work on some science shit or something. Just seems wrong,"
"So what are you two doing with your night?" Judd asks, accepting what Emmet has said,
"We're going out again," Emmet says, "We scored some tickets to tonight's Sound Clash last night. Turns out one of the bouncers is a regular customer of Charlie's and Right Stuff introduced us. Then we met the boss man and he gave us the tickets because we're your guys."
"Don't get too drunk," Judd warns, "I want you both able to move tomorrow. And yes I am looking at you Reece,"
"Hey don't worry about me," Reece says with a wide grin. "I'm hoping to get an early night tonight if you know what I mean,"
He nudges Judd with his elbow and winks. Judd rolls his eyes.
"I know what you mean," he says dryly, "Even if I wish that I didn't."
"We're both on the pull mate," Emmet says, "Might even see if we can score a three way or something. Maybe even an orgy! Some of those coke bitches are horny as hell and will do anything if you offer them enough coke."
"Just don't go dipping into the business supply," Judd says sternly, "Use your own stuff. I don't want to have to teach you a lesson too,"
"Relax mate," Emmet says, slinging an arm around Judd's shoulders. "We know the rules and there's no way we're going to break them. We respect you too much for that."
"Maybe you need to go out on the pull," Reece says, "You're wound so tight I'm surprised your head's not popped off or something. When was the last time you got laid anyway?"
Judd glares at Reece.
"Come with us mate," Emmet coaxes, "It'll be fun and you can unwind. Hell you can meet us out once you're done with class. Going on the pull is way more fun than studying. You don't have to drink or anything, just hang out, watch the girls, maybe pull one or something?"
"No I'll be fine," Judd says with a shake of the head, "You two go and have fun, just don't get too wasted."
Reece and Emmet let themselves out, Judd waves at them from his seat on the armchair. Once the door has clicked shut behind them he throws his head back and sighs. It's days like this that make him wonder why he's still in the drug game. There's always so much going on, so many things pulling him in different directions and he feels like there's almost never any time for him to do what he wants to do. Now though he's alone and he can finally hit the books.

Paul Mauriat - a male celebrity - born on Wednesday March 4th 1925, in Marseilles, France,.
Paul Mauriat holds great compassion and seeks to be of service to others. He is a healer, and capable of giving comfort to those in need - he will frequently offer a shoulder for others to cry on. But actually, Paul's mission in life is to develop the tools that allow him to be truly helpful to others rather than just a sympathetic ear. Paul Mauriat must find the balance between help and interference, and the delicate art of the counselor who knows when to leave the struggle to others and when to avoid taking away the necessary experiences and lessons of life.
It is in Mauriat's nature to take on responsibility, to fill the void left by others, and to not turn away from personal sacrifice, albeit at times, he may feel overburdened by the travails of others. However, the love others bestow upon him is his well deserved reward.
Paul seeks marriage and is often a wonderful parent, offering warmth, protection, and understanding to children. However, he must be careful not to choose partners for the wrong reasons, and to not let sentimentality influence his decision, especially those involving the choice of a spouse. Paul Mauriat needs to be needed, but must learn to discriminate between those he can help and others who are made weaker by his care. After all, it is in Paul's nature to be attracted to the weaker brothers and sisters among us. The temptation for Mauriat is to think of himself as the savior of the world, carrying the burdens of others on his shoulders.
Paul Mauriat is blessed with musical talent, as well as in the visual and performing arts, and can be successful in a number of artistic fields - even when experiencing inability to fully recognize his own talents. He also has enormous talent in business, and his great deal of charm and charisma can be used effectively to attract the people and support he needs. More...
Paul Mauriat is a person of thinking and planning.
It is natural for Paul to think before he acts, to constantly plan the short- and long-term future, and to keep elaborate notes and diary with everything well planned and written down.
If Paul is over-organized, he should practice finding his way in disarrayed environment, or otherwise feel confused and in disarray himself.
But if he ignores the details in favor of the bigger picture, others might view Mauriat as undisciplined with details, and not appreciate his great planning skills.
Entrepreneurial and progressive, Paul Mauriat is ever-striving, heading for the top, and enjoying an enterprising, ambitious and determined personality to do things well, and an unyielding dedication to his plan until the goals are achieved.
He bounces back easily from setbacks and can overcome any adversities or obstacles thrown in his way.
There is danger, however that his trait of determination and dedication will shift to stubbornness, making Paul cling to ideas and projects well past their fruitious season. It is a good idea for him to keep fresh pipeline of ideas to make it easier to replace outdated plans by new and better ones.

"Gypsy Rubber Tramps!": New Beginnings!
George Turner the lead character in the Australian/New Zealand show 800 Words writes...."Because endings are, by definition, finite...whereas new beginnings bring infinite possibilities."
There is so much fear in change but yet how often are we having to experience it in life? You would think with all the practice we have with change that we would embrace it better. Leaving our home of 30 years was an ending I never considered. It is also the beginning of a new life together for new things, new experiences, new normals which seems pretty exciting to me.
The best part of our new beginning together is the sense of newness in our relationship. We have been raising kids and grandkids for so many years now and grateful to have them in our life. Now it is just us and it is such a change in our own thought processes. We go to the beach to sit and talk! It seems so strange to have each others undivided attention and we love that about this time in our life.
Planning things together and making new memories has been such a treat and we never dreamed that we would ever have this opportunity. We have precious memories with our kids and grandkids and looking forward to precious memories together!
We are enjoying our sunsets on the beach!

Robin Francis Blaser (May 18, 1925 – May 7, 2009) was an author and poet in both the United States and Canada.

Personal background
Born in Denver, Colorado, Blaser grew up in Idaho, and came to Berkeley, California, in 1944. There he met Jack Spicer and Robert Duncan, becoming a key figure in the San Francisco Renaissance of the 1950s and early 1960s. He moved to Canada in 1966, joining the faculty of Simon Fraser University; after taking early retirement in the 1980s, he held the position of professor emeritus.  He lived in the Kitsilano neighborhood of Vancouver, British Columbia.

In June 1995, for Blaser's 70th birthday, a conference was held in Vancouver to pay tribute to his contribution to Canadian poetry. The conference, known as the "Recovery of the Public World" (a phrase borrowed from Hannah Arendt), was attended by poets from around the world, including Canadian poets Michael Ondaatje, Steve McCaffery, Phyllis Webb, George Bowering, Fred Wah, Stan Persky and Daphne Marlatt; and poets who reside in the United States, including Michael Palmer and Norma Cole (who was born in Canada, subsequently migrating to San Francisco).

Blaser was also well known as the editor of The Collected Books of Jack Spicer, which includes Blaser's essay, The Practice of Outside. The 1993 publication The Holy Forest represents his collected poems to that date.

In 2006, Blaser received a special Lifetime Recognition Award given by the trustees of the Griffin Trust for Excellence in Poetry, which also awards the annual Griffin Poetry Prize. Blaser won the Prize itself in 2008.

Today is so stressful for America, I also voted but with a heavy heart. Not a good situation in America. We will overcome as Americans and so will you. Thanks so much for sharing.
Very good Rachel. Worry is just in some of our makeup. It is difficult to overcome that feeling when your mind works overtime. Like my daughter says instead of worry pray. Whether it's to Jesus or the great spirit. It helps. Good writing.
Very deep and thoughtful. Try to reduce your worrying to caring. You are obviously a very caring, conscientious individual. That is a good thing. You are a good person. Don't let obsessing about those things that you cannot control spoil your enjoyment in this wonderful life that we live.


According to a recent industry report, two housing markets in Idaho could lead the nation in terms of home-price growth, going into 2020. The Idaho Falls and Boise-Nampa metropolitan areas both received strong housing market forecasts covering the next 12 months.
In April, the research team from Veros Real Estate Solutions published a ranking of what they felt would be the strongest real estate markets in the country over the next year or so. Their forecast was based on expected home-price growth through March 2020.
Two Idaho housing markets were ranked among the top-three metros, in terms of predicted price growth. They were Idaho Falls and Boise.
But some real estate markets are expected to outperform the national average, posting bigger home-price gains over the next year or so. And they include the Boise and Idaho Falls metro areas.
Veros (a property valuation and analytics company) creates quarterly "VeroFORECAST" reports that include hundreds of metropolitan areas across the U.S. Their latest forecast ranked Idaho Falls in the number-one spot, and put Boise at number three.
The table below shows the housing markets that are projected to see the biggest home-price gains over the next year or so. The percentages in the "forecast" column show the company's expectation for price growth over the 12-month period from March 2019 to March 2020.
Veros isn't the only group offering strong forecasts for Idaho housing markets. The real estate information company Zillow has also predicted solid gains for the state's major cities.
The gains recorded over the past 12 months were roughly double the national average (7.2%) for that same period. Likewise, the company's long-range forecast for Idaho Falls is higher than their outlook for the nation as a whole.
The numbers for Boise are even higher. In April, Zillow reported a whopping 18.1% increase in Boise home values over the previous 12 months. Looking forward, they predicted that prices in that housing market would rise by nearly 10% over the next year.
The line chart below, provided by Zillow, shows the company's "Home Value Index" for Boise, Idaho over the past ten years.
Chart: Home values for Boise, ID. Source: Zillow.com.
You can see the drop in prices that occurred in the wake of the Great Recession, followed by a steady upward climb in the subsequent years. The company's forecast for this housing market (shown in the green shaded area) predicts a continuation of this upward trend.
Steady population growth has boosted both of these housing markets — and especially Boise. Both cities (and their surrounding metro areas) have outpaced the national average in terms of growth.
In 2017, Boise was ranked as being the fastest-growing of the 100 largest metro areas in the country. The area's population grew by more than 3% in that one year alone.
Population growth increases demand for housing, on both the rental and purchase side. So it tends to give home prices a boost. This is partly why cities like Boise and Idaho Falls are getting strong housing market forecasts right now.

Tsukiji: The Fish Market at the Center of the World is a non-fiction book by Theodore C. Bestor, published in 2004 by University of California Press. It discusses the Tsukiji fish market.

The book includes content on the economy aspect, cultural aspects, and folklore.

Stephen Gudeman of Science wrote that the concept that "Tsukiji trade is embedded in the relationships, beliefs, and values of Japanese life" is the primary theme of the work.

Background
Bestor worked at Harvard University, focusing on anthropology and Japanese studies, as a professor.

Beginning in 1989, Bestor did on the ground research; he concluded this in 2003.

Content
The book covers anthropological aspects of Tsukiji.

Reception
Anne Allison of Duke University praised the book for having "clarity" in its writing and for the author's skills telling stories.

Michael Ashkenazi of Bonn International Centre for Conversion praised the book for being "remarkable" and how it focuses on Tsukiji as a "social institution" rather than onluy food-related aspects.

Ronald Dore, a resident of Castel di Casio, Italy, praised the book for being "rich" with a strong writing style and a "detached non-committal attitude".

Scott Schnell of the University of Iowa gave a positive review, stating that "the reader comes away with a better appreciation for the" various aspects discussed in the book, and arguing that the "scope of its coverage" is "impressive".

Richard Swedberg of Cornell University praised the book, describing it as a "monument" to Tsukiji, and arguing the fifth chapter was his favorite; Swedberg stated that Chapter 5 "deserves to be included in some future anthology on markets as social structures."

M 7.2 Cape Farewell Mon, Oct 19 1868
This earthquake caused damage to houses and roads around the Farewell Spit area.
Isoseismal map of the Cape Farewell earthquake. Courtesy Atlas of isoseismal maps of New Zealand earthquakes (2nd edition): Downes, G.L.; Dowrick, D.J.
Magnitude: MW 7.2 - 7.6
This earthquake was located to the north of Farewell Spit. From the Collingwood, Pakawau, and Farewell Spit area there were reports of conspicuous and extensive ground cracking as well as damage to houses. A contemporary description of surface ruptures and slips in the area may implicate the Wakamarama Fault in this quake and also describes over 100 events over the next 10 days, at least one of which toppled chimneys previously damaged. At least 10 of the aftershocks were also distinctly felt in Hokitika, Nelson, Wellington, Whanganui, and New Plymouth1.

The 12 Columbia-class submarines will replace the existing 14 Ohio-class subs in conducting nuclear deterrence patrols.
The Navy's next generation ballistic missile submarine will cost $100 billion over the lifetime of the program, an amount Secretary of Defense Richard V. Spencer describes as "eye-watering." The amount covers everything from research and development of the submarines to construction of the twelve submarines. The Columbia-class nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines will form the sea-based leg of America's nuclear triad through the 2080s.
The 12 Columbia-class submarines will replace the existing 14 Ohio-class nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines conducting nuclear deterrence patrols in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. The first Columbia class submarine will cost $14.5 billion, with $5.1 billion in one-time research and development costs and $8.8 billion to build the first submarine. The Navy currently projects the average cost of all twelve submarine at $7.2 billion, well under the $8 billion cap, with the possibility that the cost could go below $7 billion.
Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine USS Pennsylvania.
The current Ohio-class submarines are 560 feet long and displace 18,750 tons underwater. Each has 20 missile tubes for a total of 20 Trident II D-5 submarine-launched ballistic missiles, most with multiple nuclear warheads but at least some are rumored to have single warheads. Powered by nuclear reactors, each submarine can stay underwater indefinitely, providing a powerful second-strike capability in the event of a surprise attack on the United States. The Ohio class submarines will start aging out in 2027, making their replacement a fairly urgent matter.
The Columbia-class submarines will be the same length but a foot wider than the Ohio-class, making them slightly larger by volume with a displacement of 20,815 tons underwater. Each submarine will have sixteen missile tubes for sixteen missiles, recycling Trident D-5s from the Ohios. The nuclear reactor will last the lifetime of the boat, avoiding costly and time-consuming reactor overhauls decades down the line. The Columbia class will also feature an electric drive system that promises to be quieter than the mechanical system in place on the Ohio boats. The first Columbia will enter service in 2029 and the last in 2042.
One hundred billion dollars is indeed an eye-watering amount of money for twelve submarines. By comparison, the average cost of a U.S. Air Force F-35A Joint Strike Fighter is about $100 million each, meaning the Air Force could buy 1,000 F-35As for the cost of 12 Columbias. That could also buy about four carrier battle groups, including a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, three destroyers, a nuclear attack submarine and carrier aircraft. In Army terms that same amount would buy 11,000 new M1A2 Abrams tanks, enough to equip the US Army about five times over.
All of that having been said, the Columbias are meant for a unique task: staying invisible but ready to deter other countries from launching a surprise attack on the U.S. The Ohio class was eye-wateringly expensive when they were built in the 1970s and 1980s, but few will argue they weren't worth the cost. America's ballistic missile submarines are probably the most survivable, most effective deterring, and least threatening arm of the nuclear triad. Maybe America could do it for cheaper, but the nuclear missile submarine as a weapon isn't going away anytime soon.

Winter Hiking: Stupid Is As Stupid Does
Lifestyle / February 5, 2018 / By Matt Suwak
Winter hiking at Nay Aug Park
It was a balmy winter day in Philadelphia when I decided I'd had enough of balmy winter days. I threw on an extra flannel, packed my water bottle and camera, and headed out the door. I knew exactly where I wanted to be hiking, so I hopped in the car for a two-hour drive to reach my old stomping grounds in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The Appalachian hills and ridges look their best with a coat of ice and thick blanket of snow. The rock-strewn trails and root-ridden walkways are ideal for winter hiking. Even the very short-distance winter hikes are worthwhile, like seeing the waterfall at Nay Aug Park in its frozen glory.
In the summer it's more of a walk than a hike to reach the waterfall, but it the winter it's a different beast. The trails to reach the waterfall are lightly traveled in the winter leaving thick snow to stomp through. In the last decade or so Nay Aug's popularity has grown, prompting the city to install wooden steps descending to the trail. In the winter the snow compacts and freezes and turns the steps into a slide. No joke; I sat my ass to the snow and slid my way down to the landing. After giggling like an idiot, I hiked onward and turned the corner and saw that the trail was a solid slick of ice.
This is where I start to get stupid.
Most clear-thinking folk'll get a glimpse of the falls from afar, maybe zoom in with their camera. They'll decide they like their teeth in their mouth and not wedged into the ice before turning around. Maybe they'll hit the stair slide again, that was fun. But for me? Nah, I love winter hiking because of the nuggets of solid-gold storytelling it provides. So, naturally, I hold onto the frozen railing and shimmy myself downwards. It's not so bad getting down, but I pass a few fellow adventurers who are attempting to ascend the 45-degree, iced-over trail. Their faces are red from the effort and their faces grim lines of determination.
One guy is throwing snow onto the ice to add traction. His companion is on her hands and knees and scrambling for purchase on the solid ice. We reach a point where we're near each other.
"Hey there," I said, "Looks like fun."
The guy turns and shakes his head, grins, "It's a blast." His response is honest and good-natured.
His companion says, "Mark this is stupid!" while she makes her way up the trail.
He looks at her and then to me and says, "I know, that's why we came."
"Right on," I reply and continue my own stupid descent down the icy trail.
The trail down has a railing on one side but it's almost useless. Its main purpose is to serve as a fenced barrier preventing people from falling into the water below and is vital for safety when winter hiking. I reach a point where my feet aren't splaying sideways on the ice and take a few pictures of the waterfall and decide that, hey, I'm not the brightest bulb in the box. Let's get closer.
I slide under the fence and scrabble on the ice again, this time without a safety barrier protecting me from the dangerously cold and icy water. The footing is surer, maybe because there's been less foot traffic here. A few minutes of cautious climbing later and I reach the end of the line. The roar of the water that cannot, nay, will not be contained by the ice is cacophonous. Absolutely worth the hike. But then I turn around…
… and underneath the landing, where the fence stops most visitors, there is a stunning assortment of icy stalactites. Gorgeous blue tones from the ice hang like a beard from the stones, strongly distinct from the packed ice of the waterway below. It's exceptional, one of the best views I've ever seen in the park. A group of friends made the dangerous trek as well; guess they had an itching for some winter hiking too.
The view underneath the waterfall landing at Nay Aug.
When I've had my fill I start the return trip and find myself slipping with every step I take up the trail. At times I crawl and at times I scramble over boulders free of ice but caked in snow. I think to what the first pair of hikers I met had to say about the hike, that it was stupid, but it was why they went.
I find a bit of beauty in that. It's easy to get sucked into a path of least resistance where we become automatons and no longer need to think, to react, to face fear and danger. The security and comfortable living this lifestyle provides is… well, I think it's great. Having a safe home with good clothing on your back and the ability to feed yourself, buy toys, go on vacations, and help folks out is fantastic. But it's missing something, too.
It's the fear of the unknown and the casual acceptance of danger that goes with it. Get out there and do something stupid once in a while. See what's on the other side, accumulate a bit of perspective on your life and your situation. These willing investments in risk can only pay off if you jump into them in the first place.
I'm not encouraging people to risk their lives by hiking in dangerous conditions; that's my gig, and it's not for everybody. I do these things so I can get a good story, maybe earn a little insight into my life that I can extend to other folks.
So do me a favor here. Take the lesson from my winter hiking adventure with a grain of salt, but get your ass out there and be a little stupid. Challenge yourself, try a risky investment, and step beyond the metaphorical fence-line where only the brave (or the foolhardy) tread.
You'll find good company, might learn a thing or two, but at the very least you'll have a story to tell.
