Welcome

I read on the treadmill. Couple factors play into this. The treadmill faces a wall and has no TV. I have the Libby app and public libary access. My phone can display the text big enough to read while jogging slowly. Its nice as I usually start falling asleep and getting a run and read in is good use of time.

Second was learning about DDNS when the device doesnt have a IP address and is behind a network. I cant wait to learn more about DDNS and get better with Neovim.

I honestly didn’t think the path was plowed all the way. I had first thought I would do a out and back. What I did not expect once I started was loops, water hazards, and just continuing uphill.

How you control how you feel and no matter what happens to you. You take control over perceptions and you basically say that’s great and move on. So how does amor fati have to do with history?

I saw a news show about a Tempe development that is only by foot. They had dirt paths between the buildings to keep air cool and allow for rain to drain. The interviewees said it felt like a small village in Italy or France. I really like this community concept. Also they had basically no parking for the people that lived there, just parking for some stores that are on the ground level....
