I'm in the middle. I have to hike in to hunt but have llamas to pack the meat. I'm getting on but can still hike in several miles if I don't run. I've never been able to outrun an elk anyway. Besides, when moseying along, it's easier to see elk without falling on my face. That bush right over there is as likely to be hiding one as a bush way up ahead so I need time to look at it closer.

“In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”

It's not over when you lose. It's over when you quit.
