A sunny spring day in The PyrΓ©nΓ©es.
Snow capped mountains rise above green valleys under an azure sky.
Ideal is just an aspiration. I aim for adequate and Iβll take anything north of shit.
Iβll be fine as long as when I get out of the trees thereβs some cloud cover.
Oh⦠bollocks!

And here am I setting off with no water or nutrition because I forgot to stop at the Lidl that I drove directly past, and timed my set-off so that Iβd arrive there as it opened.
ADHD idiot boy!!!!
Iβm not in any danger, but Iβm gonna be unnecessarily fatigued and thirsty by the end.

Steps and a fence, the start of the Hike.
There is a sign that says make sure youβre carrying enough water. Iβm not carrying any water.
SI know that I actively foster an βI wander round the mountains unprepared like an idiotβ persona.
But sometimes I feel like Iβm actually a parody.
The white sign there says if youβre going to Pic du Pibeste make sure you have enough water because the tap at the top doesnβt work.

I have a friend on here expressly stating that he does not want Tice and Oakshitte to be killed.
And this makes me realise he's a much better person than I.

She learned (at the half way mark) that one of my friends had never managed it in under six hours. She was a demon.
I only mention this to illustrate that it's not always girls who are the slow ones.

That, and most girls don't want to.
That's why I've done very few.
One girl was a former international middle distance runner. We did Yorkshire Three Peaks... started leisurely, but half way round she decided she wanted to finish in under six hours... it's usually best to decide that at the start.

Acknowledged.
But the constitution has an emoluments clause.
And Trump is still president.
The law does not allow ICE officers to shoot US citizens in cold blood.
But no charges are being brought against RenΓ©e Goode and Alex Pretti's murderers.
Your laws no longer seem to apply.

I'd never abandon the person with the map and compass though, since I never carry them myself.
Also, company is good in case bears.

And nowhere did I lie about Wars.

And yet Clinton didn't do these things. Bush didn't do these things. Obama didn't do these things.
These are Americans who have been sponsored and promoted by Russia, and enabled by Russian movement of the Overton window.
I'm not giving the USA a free pass, please don't give Russia one.
