Night Crawler seeks a trail epiphany

June 12, 2018

Dann Hailey thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail this year, starting northbound from the approach trail on March 27 and summiting Katahdin on October 6. He is an Arizona native who left an 80-hour-a-week job working in a warehouse after hearing about the AT. He announced his intention to do a thru-hike – barefoot.

The Washington Post ran this opinion piece today. It’s about the impact on the AT community of the murder of hiker Ronald Sanchez last weekend on the Appalachian Trail. It’s beautiful. It’s worth taking the time to copy and paste this link. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/an-attack-on-one-hiker-is-an-attack-on-us-all/2019/05/15/e761bc48-7736-11e9-b3f5-5673edf2d127_story.html

I really need a new coffeemaker, and this one has all the features I want - except for where it’s manufactured. According to their tech support, the products of Mr Coffee’s parent company, Jarden Corporation, are manufactured in the US, China, Korea and Mexico. The support person I chatted with said she doesn’t know where exactly this model coffeemaker is made. In the spirit of #fastfromchina I will pass this particular item up. I can drink instant until I find a replacement made somewhere other than China. I enjoy a luxury which the #uighurmuslims do not - I am not prohibited from forgoing coffee all day while I observe my religious fast. @mrcoffee I am not buying your Optima Brew because you manufacture in China; visit the website in my profile to learn about the Chinese government’s treatment of the Uighur people.

Yay today I enrolled in a Creative Nonfiction (the organization, not the genre) self-guided class. Hopefully it will help me in my goal to write about the natural setting with accuracy and detail.

X-ray was clear so diagnosis is big ouchie, right heel. Treatment: heavy, ugly boot as shown and megadose anti-inflammatory twice a day.

I was going to buy these 0.2 ounce towels until I checked with the company and found out they are made in China. I can handle the couple of ounces my other towels will add to my pack. #fastfromchina #savetheuyghurs

A blessed and fruitful Ramadan to all...and I need your prayers to help me get the best out of it I can!
