Upstate Wyoming

The present makes things almost impossible, like trying to light a cheap paper match in the wind.

This is to make you stronger, more resilient, for your own good.

What's good for you doesn't know it's good for you so you tend not to do it since it seems at odds with your nature, and it is and it is good for you.

(Out here, Facebook can't find its friends).

As far as getting home, forget it. You're most likely there already, or close at least, or so far away that it makes no difference to anyone but you, and you live here so you'd better know how to get there.

All alone, walking down the dirt road that gets used twice a day--once going and once coming--towards the black cloud hanging over Carter Mountain, you could stop by the river to see what the fish are thinking.

You could, but that's so far into the future it's impossible.
