I agree with a lot of what she says about what she loves about the north. The pink lights common this time of year, the long dark nights of winter, the prolonged twilight and the extreme changes of the seasons, Let me go watch the one Sourdough just posted.

Thanks SourD,she sure beats what they call entertainment today.
I now have a snow bird to watch plus my sailing areond the world couple who mostly dive in the tropics.
We don't see much of our ancesters anymore. Or learn of their adventures or challenges.

I just watched the video that Sourdough linked and found it excelled too. I don’t normally watch such videos but the cinematography was excellent and the subject was very kind to the eye. It’s hard not to appreciate the natural beauty of the northern environment and everything else.

John its got to where I like to watch people just living their lives with no politics or agendas,refreshing to me.

A friend that I work with takes a dip into Lake Superior, including swims under the ice, every day for over a year.

Balancing stones anyone? I can see some serious meditation going on here,no thoughts swimming around in your head just the task of getting rocks to behave.

Cabi,the last time I was seriously meditating on nature I was about 12. I'd go to the bottom of our lake and stick my fingers into the red mud to anchor myself and watch the fish bounce off my face,some would nibble on my nose or just be sstill in the water and staie back aat me,.I could hold my breath for a very long time.Helped later in life having good lungs diving. I would jump into water offshore in ocean aand see if I could bring sand up from bottom to prove I was here,maybe a couple granuels by time I reahed surface,lol.

No balancing stones here,would have to have them imported.We'er sand castles or hour glass country. Ironic I grew up on the largest known rock on earth aka Stone Mountain which is 2/3s underground.Maybe I can buy some rocks from Loews?

Ice Baths!
As a child I was told that not wearing a hat would could me to get sick & die.
Now Md's are telling me to take D &K2 to stay heathy in the winter, it started when I was going to a lot of Doc's for afib.
I was surprised that they even believed in D & K 2, this was before C-19, so this is not aint vacs talk.

He's a quite man, which may not be a good idea,lol. Then again,sometimes less said the better.Maybe I should write that one down..
