It’s staggering really that modern American Christianism supports wealth while Jesus demanded total poverty, fetishizes family while Jesus left his and urged his followers to abandon wives, husbands and children, champions politics while Jesus said his kingdom was emphatically not of this world, defends religious war where Jesus sought always peace, and backs torture, which is what the Romans did to Jesus.

To the future. This makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck. In 1st-3rd grade my class went on a 3 day camping trip each year, and they’re probably my favorite memory of school ever. How cool would it be to do this everyday? I’m seriously jealous.

@mooseofrob nope. Standard tuning...oh and thank you Moose. You are nice. —gabewitcher
Maybe my favorite fiddle moment is @gabewitcher's interlude in the "Angel" waltz from "Grow." Tell me you're in F#C#F#C# please or I quit. —mooseofrob
Second day of trying to learn how to handstand: now and then I can balance long enough to feel as if my head is about to fucking explode. (14:44)

This is another shot of Bench Lake in Kings Canyon National Park, with aptly named Arrow Peak on the horizon. No magic lighting, no amazing composition on my part, just the beautiful and pristine High Sierra speaking for itself in front of my lens.
This was from a 9 day backpacking trip. Fishing is good in this lake too. This lake also has brown trout, which is not common in such high elevation lakes in the Sierra Nevada.
Shot with a Canon Elan 7, Fuji Velvia 50 film, Moose Warming Polarizer, Canon 17-40mm lens, and a severe craving for a juicy hamburger. Sorry for the low rez.
My fourth toe is worse off than the phone. Which is hopefully as durable as the 'pod, because I drop these things a lot. (16:22)
Just dropped my iPhone for the first time. Over a hard floor, from waist height. Reflexively kicked out my foot to soften the blow. (16:20)

How I cook: Look into the fridge, see whats there, combine any two ingredients, google for a recipe including them, make the first thing that looks good. This isn’t too bad.
Oh wow.

Made this a few times last week. It wasn’t bad.
I noticed this festival on Mike Marshall’s website this spring and got it into my head that I should go. Go I did, and it was incredible. Akin to Danebod but for mandolins, we ate meals mostly together and the cooking was tremendous, there were 3 workshops a day, free time to hang out and play music or drink at french cafés and most likely both, 3 concerts a day, and then more time to drink and play music informally. Really dazzling.
Unfortunately it was a bit of a shot to my instrumental confidence, I was thinking myself not too bad at playing instruments only to get shown up by just about everyone. Hopefully it’s a catalyst for me to practice and sometime I can go back and look more the part of a badass mandolin player, less that of deer-in-the-headlights-awestruck onlooker. But definitely awesome.
I decided I’d make a bucket of things I’d cooked on delicious. I got to thinking earlier today what kind of glory a ham and avocado sandwich would bestow upon me, and then checked google to make sure I wasn’t insane, and here was the recipe. Mixing the butter and mustard together with pepper is pretty badass.

@gtcaz I've been having a pretty good time here so far. And the Paris Roubaix passes not too far away, might have to go and see that. (13:29)

Now to catch up on all the sleep I missed. (07:04)
On the train back home. Lunel was incredible. For those of you in the know, it was like a Danebod in southern France for mandolins. (07:04-1)
Look around you. —presencemachine
