A little bit more

Everyday i notice more movement in my shoulder. I am still not sleeping well because of  pain. I’m just saying. Every day is another closer to pedaling my bike. I have been riding the Nautilus bike @ gym, today I made my butt suffer for 70 mins. Sweat pours off me. I take a shower then move on.

Sat I hiked up some trails towards snow capped mt Spokane.  Scattered tamaracks w/ golden plumage. Others dumped their used leaves on trail. Remanents of snow from storm several days ago. I lasted for 3 miles towards Kit Karson outhouse until snow melting off the trees became an elevation issue I did not want to get snow melt cold wet. Some sunshine but almost entirely.

yesterday I owned my van for 7 years. Just a passing day.

Today i saw 12 years a slave movie. Very powerful. I have read about slavery which prepared me for the awfulness of being owned by someone who could do as he or she desired. Today working people are in a more modern form of slavery: Buy something on credit then the man owns you and you become property. You quit the job, the credit collectors instead of the bloodhounds and armed men on horseback track you down. You can’t hide in a swamp anymore.
