Balancing anonymity with obscurity, I renounce and reject, protect and preserve, and in the meantime fill the sonic marginalia with music, and ghostly glide around the humanity-free zones.

At least there are still mornings like this (Wednesday) npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw #silentSunday npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw A piece of color, doomed. npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw Running and poets. Moving through the land, we reflect on it. Running is so visceral, when I think of the route or the training or the landscape it's either immediate (and felt, not thought) or through some kind of reflection. Ashbery knew the power of the mirror to situate and illuminate, and turned his study into a world view. Here in Montana, my Cali home is just in my mind's eye - grinding through this second half of life. So here is a June Montana route in a mirror to frame today. npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw #silentSunday npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw I've run (or hiked) every day for about two months now. It's working . The Watershed Vista Trail is short with high wow. npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw I love this shot. you know Michael Wolff's architecture photos? npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw I ran up to that summit once. It's not that hard a climb. Starts about cloud level on the right there, switchbacks a couple times up. that slope on the right , goes behind, then comes up in that low point along the "ridge". From there it's not that much more climbing to the summit. The whole thing is very exposed to sun. 10-11 miles round trip. npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw Mt St Helena from Stoetz Lane. npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw AND the cruelest month... npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw This is where I'm getting my running in now. Relocated to care for parents in health crisis. npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw #silentSunday npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw #silentSunday npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw I got hooked on running with a 21 day streak many years ago. A most satisfying way to do it. npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw The rain has ceased, the water world of the last week is draining, mud is ascendant. Ran to the vista w dog and beheld distance. The edge of the world is comforting. The Pacific is utterly massive, majestic, grounding in that it defines the boundary of our habitat. npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw Sing it brother CODE IS A LIABILITY! npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw #silentSunday npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw Nothing quite like persimmon leaves in the fall. npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw You've got some of my favorite photo subjects here, they're very visceral. npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw #silentSunday npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw Long run today. There is so much goodness to be wrung out of spending a couple hours running. You cover enough ground to create a sense of wonder in human abilities, and the world snaps into a topology of access as the math of covering ground becomes more evident. npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw Liszt trivia - he was so good a piano player himself that these pieces were his skeleton key to money-making as a performer. npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw #SilentSunday npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw I have no idea. npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw It's a fascinating topic. Somehow I think it's connected to labor and organizing. Engineers have always (in my era, yada) provided better value when tightly coupled to OSS. So in the incipient labor-forward software world when we rise up and demand reasonable practice from our employers... npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw #SilentSunday npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw O mighty Pacific! npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw Congrats, Lee! npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw I like how you deliver a world of color to us that (speaking for myself) never existed before I saw it in your pictures. npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw #SilentSunday npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw Detail of the ever-growing shrine down by Dutch Bill Creek. I ran to town for an errand yesterday, something I've always found tremendously satisfying. npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw I find a 2 liter hydro pack trivial to carry. Don't like water through a tube but that's enough for a long hot run. npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw most definitely. Making it through the day, I've got a Leeds match to watch later (no spoilers) and good music all around. npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw I was feeling low and skipped running the morning. Finally figured out I needed a run to feel better. The reward was seeing some turkey drama. I like how the duck is checking it out just like I am npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw no masonry here cause earthquakes. npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw Misty morning running, and what better expression of it than this lichen/fence symbiote. npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw On my run this morning a dog bit me and I'm disappointed and annoyed. I come across a lot of dogs while running, some off leash and some aggressive, but this is the first time one actually went for me. Nothing serious but it does hurt. npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw #spring #running #photography #meeker #maple npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw #SilentSunday npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw Yesterday I was determined to reboot the running. Left phone (camera) behind and shot film. New shoes, first since injury and the old pairs are getting pretty worn, mileage unknown as I stopped tracking. New notebook (last one filled with dribs and drabs, no mileage records.) npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw #SilentSunday npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw #SilentSunday npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw yes but I'm the first to admit being a West Coast fan of a north London team just probably isn't the same sort of thing as actually Being There. npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw freaking inspiration yar. I'm planning my monster climb and forest run with the dog ran after nail-biting my way through second half of IPSTOT . When Tottenham is one up they can always turn it around 😬 npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw Our orchids only last a moment. They are here. What a stunning flower- I lived here for years and years before I knew we had them. npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw #SilentSunday npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw So glad you asked! A quintessentially American experiment, FDR mobilized vast public works projects one attempt to bootstrap the country out of depression. These teams built so much of 20th century America - but it's hidden by even bigger projects after WWII and tinged with a smear of socialism too, which of course is a dirty word. npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw The slide is very big, hard to photograph. The roadbed is there but nothing else - the next atmospheric river will probably knock out the asphalt this week. npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw The world is suddenly sodden and flooding. I'm on high ground, but still everything is overflowing. Here we have a spot nearby which masquerades as a vast wilderness. npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw I got a pair of these last year. They feel awesome to run in... Like having armored feet. but hard on the feet for sure. When it's warmer I'll use them for runs under 6 miles. npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw I've never been very happy watching MLS. The quality just isn't there (and my closest team is San Jose which is....) npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw Well in my seventies growing up the only thing I learned about soccer was there exists a sport you play without hands (weird!) and there was some apparently famous mononymic guy Pele that you could get on a lunch box. npub15esttjad2cfx74uqec2wd0l6cyv8mdavlmc22ap9cxrmegrgffuqxhgfkc grechaw congratulations Lee and spouse.
