Correre ai cento allora, nel silenzio della notte, mentre imperversa la bufera di neve, per provare l’effetto che fa.

Heyo, back from the Smokies, still alive, not a block of ice or eaten by a bear, all's well~
This is from one of the two times I turned my phone on last week at the top of one of the mts, I think like the second highest peak on the east side of the Mississippi or something. It was a pretty damn hard climb is all I know. I mean totally worth it though obviously.
I'm so sorry I've still been a little awol and haven't gotten around to answering emails and messages and things, I don't know what's up with me. It's just really hard to feel like social networking again if that makes sense, after not thinking about it for a while.
I don't know, there was one night after our group separated and three of us had to wade through streams all day and almost froze to death and ever since then posting things online's not been such a priority. It just sort of feels like such a shallow form of communication. Not that I'm trying to be patronizing or put the internet down, like, I love it and need it if I want to stay in touch with friends, but at the same time I wish I could just sit and actually look and talk to the people I love in person. Like what you post online isn't even a fraction of the whole story, you know. I want to know how everyone actually is but then it's not like any of us have the time to call or visit each other anymore. So much frustration aaaa
But anyway I was trying to watch a video on YouTube after I got home and it kept buffering and I found myself getting really frustrated and then I felt dumb because it seriously wasn't important. Our society is so obsessed with instant satisfaction which is funny since the things we make are the things that do all the buffering.
Just missn the natural world is all. So grateful to have walls and a pillow and a shower and all my limbs but definitely missn the simplicity.
Love yall, happy Sunday! Hope you guys have a wonderful week <3

Typical Danish plain buffer stop made of steel and cement.

Very high setting render from Stud.io.
We all have times when we hit the buffers, when we reach that point, we can delight in the knowledge that we have reached the most difficult part of the challenge we are facing at the time and from that point on, it will only get better.
At the peak of vibrant fall colours, an eastbound VIA train scoots along the wrong main to get around a slower freight train ahead. While VIA now requires buffer cars for its HEP fleet - parts of which date back to 1947, I was lucky this one had matching HEP cars acting as buffers on either end.
