Week One

October 8, 2016

It has been a week. I’m still not entirely sure how I feel about this place. We have gone out on the trail the last three days. Yesterday we went through almost the entire trail, 12 and a half miles out. No I do not know what a mile is but something like one and a half kilometers. Anyway we were driving through a bunch of fields yesterday and low and behold there were cows. In the country, can you believe it? I’m sure a bunch of your farmer types who grew up out in the middle of goddamn nowhere are all like “yeah, they’re just cows, you pass about a million on your way to work”. To which I’d respond “well yeah I’ve seen cows before (even up close, GASP)”, however I haven’t driving an ATV through a field of them before. So that was kind of cool. I started singing home on the range (in my head). Whatever I’m from the city ok?

Dog of the today is Smartie, for the totally arbitrary reason of: I’m currently eating Smarties. Ha ha, but ok Smartie is a good dog because she goes on her box all the time, and sometimes I sit with her there and we hang out. Smartie is only a little over a year old, and Don says that she’s already running very well. So good on you Smartie.

The box says "Smartie"... I'll get a better picture I swear.
