The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness that stretches between Minnesota and Canada has been named one of the “top 50 places of a lifetime” by National Geographic Traveler. These boundary waters are an amazing source of biodiversity in the United Sates and one of the few places left in the country without light pollution. A mining company is currently seeking permission from our government to install a copper mine next to this wilderness area. If this happens it would destroy the waters, damage the biodiversity, and cause massive amounts of light pollution. Please write to the current administration and let them know that you think these boundary waters are worth protecting; there are only three weeks left in the 90 day public comment period, and if there is enough support it would buy this amazing wilderness at least 20 more years. The link below will take you to the site so our voice can be heard.

Should we be punishing millionaires and billionaires

Humans are stupid. Not all of them, and most days I believe that the majority of us are capable of common sense most of the time. But holy f**k do the dumb ones just dive off the deep end. Do they just believe in Atlantis or Sasquatch? Oh no, the moon also has to be a hologram! And the world is flat!!! Like you almost have to do a double take, “wait you were serious dude!?”
Like you really start questioning Darwinism. I don’t care who is right or wrong, both sides are going about it in the wrong way. Even when making the right points they go about it wrong. We have created an enemy where there may not have been one, and it is hard not to. So let’s all go outside, take a deep breath, and go contemplate the deeper thoughts of life.

You ever sit down at work and think what does it all mean why are we here? Just to have the sarcastic voice in your head answer something deep like “Yeah it’s pretty crazy that life can exist spinning roughly 1000 mph and moving at 67,000 mph around a flaming gas ball out in the middle of nothing”
Again in your head “Look man I don’t need your s**t too, I just want to get through my shift without any incidents.”
Of course this continues much longer than any of us care to admit and the whole time you are arguing with yourself about which choices got you here you know deep down that life would be so much worse if you had stayed where you were and that here is better than there. Until you literally have a splitting headache for microanalysing your sarcastic self who has a legitimate question. “Why are you here?”
The real answer for me is pretty simple “I am here because of give and take, and the way I have chosen to spend my limited resources.”

It is hard to always stay level headed about it. On my days off when all I want to do is play guess what responsibilities are still there, and it becomes chores before fun. So this year when I’m thinking about what I want to change in myself and work on coming into this new year. It’s not the getting back into shape! Going to do more trips! And bigger trips! It’s really turning into how can I stay more organized so fewer things get lost in the gaps of my memory. So that I can finish my lists quicker. So I can move on to the activities I really want to be doing.

With all that in mind, here’s not to shooting for the stars, here’s to shooting for the average! Not all days are good days but I hope you get some great days with your productive days and that they average out better than weeks where nothing “bad” happened.
