Sadly, I’ll miss this one, but I was in the middle of Oregon during that total eclipse. Eerie is one way to put it, but I would say it provides somewhat of an existential experience having the moon fully interrupt the light of our star. The birds go quiet, the temperature drops and a twilight surrounds you whilst still being able to see sunlight off in the distance. I spent time using my camera for a moment or two, but really wanted to fully experience it at the same time. It involved a long time without sleep, but I am very happy I made the journey.

1960th.

That made me chuckle.

warning light

No longer an idiot/warning light. It’ll now be called a “poor’s light”.

I have done the same. Cut sugar drastically, work out almost everyday and try to make myself uncomfortable whilst working out so I am more comfortable under load in the world. Also to prep this olde body for the next decade. Far better overall to start 10-yrs earlier than later.

I have a home gym now, but back when I was trying to solidify my workout habits I had to will myself to workout as I passed the gym on the way home from work. Wanna race home to party? No, go workout. Feeling lackluster? Doesn’t matter, workout. That extra push I gave myself back then worked (and felt great) and now I strive to get that workout in and feel bad if I don’t.

I would think it’s still not really healthy to load up on sugar even if you burn all those calories off. Overdoing it on sugar has some negative effects over the long haul and you gotta mix in some healthy foods too. I try and keep intake below 40 grams/day. The less the better.
