Back home, stripped scaf down and building in the lawn. Rails balance, a waterfall and some random angles. Lazy parkour Saturday!

Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.

While I was wandering around Trinity Buoy Wharf (where the Chainstore parkour facility is located) I discovered this sign. A musical instrument designed to play, without interruption or repetition, for ONE THOUSAND YEARS ?! Yes, seriously. Check out http://LongPlayer.org

Now that we’re back… →
Now that we’re home and have offloaded all the photos, I’ll be sifting through the rest of the photography. I put up a good bit via Instagram in real time, but there are a few more albums (and perhaps some stories) I want to post.

U.S. weight, lifestyle and diet trends, 1970- 2007 →
Between 1970 and 1980, something changed in the U.S. that caused a massive increase in obesity and other health problems. Some combination of factors reached a critical mass that our metabolism could no longer tolerate.

Lessons in manliness from Atticus Finch →
If Atticus had one dominating virtue, it was his nearly superhuman empathy. Whenever his children felt angry at the misbehavior or ignorance of the individuals in their town, he would encourage their tolerance and respect by urging them to see the other person’s side of things:
“If you can learn a simple trick, Scout, you’ll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view—until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.”
Atticus understood that people could only be held responsible for what they knew, that not everyone had an ideal upbringing, that folks were doing they best they could in the circumstances in which they found themselves. Atticus strove above all to see the good in folks and to figure out why they did the things they did.
