Illegitimi non carborundum

I’m having a conversation with one of my friends and I ask him, “What defines you?” and he responded with, “Nothing. A definition excludes the possibility for change.”

This is one of the best responses I’ve ever received to any of my questions.

Spent a few days up near Moose City helping a friend close up her family cabins. First trip up north for the pointer. #huntingfool #sanity #glaciernationalpark #northfork #needquietlikeineedair #allgoodthingsarewildandfree #dogadodgeandadoublebarrel #giffybutte #itsaboutliving #janailovethatsaying

This dog is smarter than 99% of the people I had to interact with today. And easier to get along with. #leftthehousetoday #shouldnthave #didntkillanyone #gsp #germanshorthairedpointer #dogissmarterthanme #stayedhome #imnotantisocial #ijustdontlikepeoplethatmuch #shouldhavepackedmorebeer

This was my dad's favorite glass, for obvious reasons. He used to have lemonade, I'm having wine. The result is the same - no one touches your drink. #idontcarewhoyouarethatsfunny #workinglate #daddysgirl #wino (at Many Lakes)

Out running near Hungry Horse today and ran up on a blonde sow griz this size. Bigger than the black bear I shot. She was about 100 yards down the trail when I came around the corner 2 miles or so from the Jeep. I talk (loudly) to myself when I'm out alone and the wind was hard at my back, so she knew I was coming. She just looked at me. I yelled and waved my arms and clapped and she just kept looking at me. For whatever reason, in the moment I thought tossing a couple of rocks might help so I did that too. Thankfully, she knew I wasn't worth her time and I hauled my ass out of there. It's only awesome because I'm not dead. #pantscrapper #dontpanic #dumbassforgotherbearspray #mamabear

There was a young girl sitting two rows ahead of us in the bleachers at the PBR last night and she kept turning around to stare at me. I love bull riding-I hoot and holler and clap for every rider and sing with all the old butt-rock they play in between rides. What struck me was this-was she staring because she thought I was too loud and a little crazy, will she be a forever silent girl that grows into a compliant silent woman? Or was the look the same as the one I used to give old ladies as I sat silently with my parents-a little awe at their not giving a fuck and a hope that I will be them someday?
