Recall about a year ago, when you were in the depths of "Hell," I predicted, "Next year about this time you will look back on "this" as just a bad dream." or something to that effect, which didn't help you in the NOW of it. I have a niece who went through similar hyper thyroid problems and it took a long time to regulate and adjust to meds (had her thyroid removed!!!).<br />Cheers, and get outside :)<br />markBox Canyon Blog.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07032055509766739436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-83554671060871187912018-05-15T23:37:01.417-06:002018-05-15T23:37:01.417-06:00Hi Mark. I just came across this older post. Thank...Hi Mark. I just came across this older post. Thank you for the laugh. As you know I went to Moab with my Dad around this time, and agree that the desert wind is something special. It's wholly different living in it than just getting out for an hour-long ride.<br /><br />Anyway, despite my general theme of recreating in bad weather, I don't think it's one of life necessities. I just really like to go outside. Also, I can see from your commenters that my blog veers toward complaints too often. I admit for most of 2017 I was not at my best. My general life outlook is so much better when my body chemistry is balanced.

The wind does have a way of rattling not just the windows but but our psyche as well. We've often been hunkered down in those gusts. The silence and sense of quiet that follows makes our exhales deeper, oh and the inhales too. Hope you are on your way to those high mountain inhales and exhales now!The BlaNicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11439113997893259241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-4313268566499787542018-04-17T19:09:15.001-06:002018-04-17T19:09:15.001-06:00You have me guffawing here!

I live near Jill, and yes, we've been having wind like yours. I got slammed to the ground by it the other day, and I have a huge hip bruise to show for it. Despite your very negative picture of it, I'm dying to know where Kamp Klondike is. We've explored near there, and we've never found a decent looking place to camp. (kynabear5@gmail.com if you care to share).<br /><br />I guess that you won't still be in Moab in May. Ah well - that's our next window of opportunity.KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885661679762446456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-28036052819071403182018-04-17T08:01:11.195-06:002018-04-17T08:01:11.195-06:00I could write a novel on the writing of that book ...I could write a novel on the writing of that book (sigh).Box Canyon Blog.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07032055509766739436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-16780564815592390292018-04-17T07:57:18.812-06:002018-04-17T07:57:18.812-06:00Lordy, you have a way with words!

I am usually pretty comfortable in my rig, but it seems to become smaller as the wind keeps blowing. It's probably no consolation, but it is blowing here along the eastern Sierras as well.

She wouldn't let a little wind stop her." Sometimes I need a little extra "push," you know, since I'm older than this red dirt playground :)<br />Interesting...I'm glad you followed up.<br />Is there such a thing as too much? too risky? What defines us, our jobs? our noble deeds? what we do after work? Church? School? <br />I know what gets me up in the morning. It involves challenge, some risk, and hours on some trail...preferably one that peters out and leaves me wondering what's around the next corner.Box Canyon Blog.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07032055509766739436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-13197503506263781932018-04-15T12:41:57.287-06:002018-04-15T12:41:57.287-06:00Forgot to mention about "Jill Outside" -...Forgot to mention about "Jill Outside" - I used to read her blog but jeeze, she's a hardy soul!!!
