There is a LOT you can do. The delivery of your child is something that the two of you will do, together, as a family. If you are able to do your part during the delivery, then your partner will love you more than ever because of it.
With the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, the US is poised to be the world leader in fighting climate change.
Etymology, sexology, and mycology are brought together in this highly imaginative study of ancient words and their obscured origins. Is there is a hidden connection between the ancient fertility and drug cults of the early bronze age and the origins of Christianity? Is the link codified in the Bible? Is Jesus an allegory for a hypnotic mushroom that mysteriously grows out of the womb of the earth without fertilization, like a virgin, emerging only after receiving life-giving rains from a giant penis in the sky? Is the mushroom the true son of God?
As we were hiking in the Indian Peaks range of the Colorado mountain last week, we walked right past dozens of these toadstool mushrooms, with only a faint clue of what they were.
Unbeknownst to us, we were hiking among living deities! The nectar of the gods! THE IMMORTAL MUSHROOM-SACRAMENT OF ANTIQUITY! (Writing about mushrooms is awesome because you get to use fun words like hypnotic, sacrament, mushroom-cult, ecstasy, deity, comatose, etc.)
It's been five years since I published my book, Functional Programming in Javascript. And since then a dramatic shift in the programming language has unfolded.
Don Henley's "Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac" lyric never made much sense to me.
The Valley of the Giants is a very small area with very large trees, many over 450 years old. The hellish 30-mile drive through ravaged industrial timberlands to the giants makes one appreciate the importance of this refuge.
If you live in Kansas and like 4-wheeling, there aren't a whole lot of optoins. Tuttle Creek and Kansas Rocks are two good choices though.
In the middle of our epic California coast adventure, my fiance and I decided to try a little backpacking along the Redwood Creek in the Redwood National Park in Northern California - it's the only place in the park where dispersed camping is allowed. We followed that up with an experience I'll truly never forget: horseback riding on the horse trails that go through the heart of the Redwood National Park. Amazing!
Johhny and I built this "bike barn" out of scrap wood we needed to clear out of the garage. I don't think we used the measuring tape once. We just slapped the boards together as quickly as possible. Sometimes we cut them to length and sometimes we didnt. Fun!
These are the things that no one ever told me when I was learning to ride my motorcycle, I just had to learn them for myself. But you don't have to!
This was the last 4x4 trail we drove down during out 3 day excursion through Colorado. And by far the most challenging. But here's the thing with Hayden Pass: last year there was a forest Fire - The Hayden Pass Fire - and the 4x4 road does go through the burn scar. I was really worried that the road would be covered in a thick layer of ash, making it impassible. My only other experience with traversing through a burned out area was during a backpacking hike through Yosemite. The trail was completely destroyed and we lost it because the earth was so scorched and covered in ash.
Medano Pass is a "primative" 4x4 road through the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve and one of only two trails that allow you to travel over the Sangre De Cristo mountain range (the other being Hayden Pass which we drove over the next day).
Colorado or bust! That was my mantra while driving from Eastern Kansas to South Central Colorado - a 10 hour drive - to go off-roading in my new Jeep XJ Cherokee for the first time. Not only had I never been off-roading in the Jeep, I had never been off-roading in Colorado either! So it was about to be a whole new experience for me. However, I promised myself that I wasn't going to attempt any "rock crawling" on this trip due to the lack of skid plates and the true soft belly of the aluminum transfer case. And while I didn't have to break that promise on the Mount Rosa and Mount Baldy trails, I would eventually break it by the end of the trip!

It all started when a humble statistician from Wichita State University wanted to audit the voter machines in her county to address a statistical annomily that she discovered, suggesting that the voting machines where being sabotage.
Bernie was given a 0% chance of winning Iowa when he announced his campaign. But I decided to get into a van headed to Des Moines and see if I could change that. The revolution starts now.

In June 2015, my girlfriend and I and 3 other friends went on a 5 day backpacking trip in the Yosemite National Park. It was an absolutely amazing experience. It was as much of a challengae as I hoped it would be, and we made a lot of mistakes but I don't regret a single thing. Our route completely turned on a dime on top of Cloud's Rest, and we missed the backpacker's shuttle back to our cars. But we survided to tell our story...
This is less of a book review and more of a confession.
I was in a Paris hostel at the end of a fast-paced, somewhat derenged week (it was one hell of a vacation) and feeling a little down now that it was coming to an end, when a hostel-hopping Australian started giving me life advice. His first piece of advice was to read Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates by Tom Robins, but first, he said, read his more popular novel Still Life With Woodpecker to make sure I can handle his writing style.
