Seen the best and worst. No place like the good ole' USA.
Went from below sea level to 18,000 above sea level. Was able to fill my bucket list. Except for 2 items. Always wanted to go to Tierra del Fuego at the tip of Argentina which isn't going to happen and to see a UFO; maybe a 99.99% chance.

Favorite Author
1. Robert Service
Living in St,George, Trying to stay warm. Avoid the cold after working and living in every cold place there is. Enjoy writing simple rhymes.
But does all of this really matter? Only if it improved the type of person I became. Did I become more compassionate or did I become less compassionate? Did I add value to the companies and people or was I a distraction and become more like those things I disliked? Someday I think I will have to answer these questions to a higher authority. I know the answer will just and complaints, excuses or loopholes will not be accepted or tolerated.
But I have to tell you, all in all it was one heck of a ride and finding the gold was truly more fun than having the gold.
