AUTUMN IN THE AIR (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The last couple nights here at 7200’ have been perfect for sleeping: temperatures in the 30’s and 40’s. The days are still going into the 80’s and 91 yesterday, but you can feel the change. The leaves in the trees have lost the vibrancy of summer green and bits of yellow and orange are starting to show. The elk are gathering together again in their winter herds. As I sat down to write this, I heard the first bugle of the season here. Sounded like a young bull. It didn’t have the depth of sound t

THOUGHTS ON THE 4TH OF JULY (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Patriotism means to stand with the country. It does not mean to stand with the President.” Theodore RooseveltSo here it is, July 5, 2026. A landmark date in the American Experiment happened yesterday. Despite events and people that might have ended it, we have survived 250 years as a country.
