Just an old, old hippie trying hard to adjust. I live my life by the cowboy code of hard work, honesty, and knowing right is the same as doing right. I'm a blue soul in the heart of the blood red hinterlands tying knots in the Devil's tail.

This is Noraly's 3rd day of traveling in Afghanistan. In this episode she is traveling across the Hindu Kirsch mountains. The title says she tried to avoid the Taliban but failed. Don't see much Taliban until the end with a Taliban in a Humvee with an RPG.

Today, on page A03 of the Reno Gazette Journal there is a full page advertisement for this Saturday's No Kings Rally. I expect this ad was in most every Gannett owned newspaper today.

See you Saturday at your local protest.
