NASCAR was a brilliant experience.  The roar of the engines, the actions, the lights, the crowd.  Amazing!

From up high where we sat.

Down low, closer to track side.

-11 windchill. CO breezy and cold in Feb. my Jeep dashboard was flashing like a disco all jammed up by the cold. 8” of snow. Safe and sound back home. Life is good.

The article on the left-most side was of great interest to me. More to come.

remind me to tell you about this later...

Now I understand the attachment to muddin’- snow is fun to four wheel around in.

This wave of ice and and snow is converging upon us before I depart for the warmer west coast. So, I’m totally thrilled. I was putting on my winter coat this morning and stopped for a moment to be thankful for it. I haven’t always had good coats and shoes. I feel hashtagblessed but in a real, not fake way. The baby flakes have started and I’m going to grab my #1 son. Be safe out there!

Being grounded is important to me. This marker is old and centering. Do we need a huge monument or a grand gesture to take a moment to give ourselves compassion? Not really. Compassion is pocket-sized, portable. It is right here. Why, if thirsty, would we not drink.

Low 60s. Beautiful day.
