Dana's dumps better have a pic of Terrence and Luca that continues this legacy right here. If we need the filming of another season, so be it.

Unexpected Pleasure

Yesterday my neighbor called up to see if I was around as he had some people he thought I might like to meet. Rob had just driven over the pass on Washington Highway 20 from Mazama. Mazama is a little blip in the Methow Valley that features a small number of shops and a brewery. It is also the first place a hiker will come to from Hart's pass on a return from the border. As Rob was passing the Mazama turn off there were three people attempting to hitch a ride west.

Rob being the huge hearted person he is, stopped and gathered up Luuk, 'Toasty' aka James, and Dr. Nick aka Alejandra. This trio was making their way toward Seattle for whatever the next stage of their adventure would hold.

I met the group at Rob's house and we immediately found common ground. As we shared a refreshment we swapped some stories and impressions from our respective PCT experiences. This mini trail family was a reflection of a PCT demographic that acknowledges the international make up of the PCT community. Luuk traveled from the Netherlands and Alejandra (Dr. Nick) from Mexico, while James (Toasty) came west from Virginia. Toasty had previously hiked the AT. They have walked a lot of miles together once they linked up. They have navigated fires, smoke, and numerous trail closures not to mention any and all other things the trail can throw at you. It was immediately apparent they earned every single mile from the southern desert to the colder and wetter north. As they got nearer the Canadian border there was rain and even a little bit of snow flying. Obviously the perfect time to end their journey!

Luuk, Dr. Nick, Rob, and Toasty

It was not a surprise but more a confirmation/affirmation that the trail community is real and alive with warmth, humor, and yes, even some magic. Meeting and hanging out briefly with Luuk, Dr. Nick, and Toasty was a real highlight for me. I feel I made a connection with them albeit from this brief encounter and that is just how it seems on and just off the PCT. People from diverse places and backgrounds become part of an interpersonal Venn diagram.

I don't know if I will see these three again but for now I am so warmed by their spirit, friendliness, and shared experience. As my friend Rob would say, "Onward!" I hope wherever that is we somehow share a few more stories and impressions from their PCT adventure. Here's hoping!

Luuk, Alejandra, me, and James...Alejandra is holding a copy of 'Crossing Paths' our collection of hiker/writer stories with the hope these three will be inspired to share some stories in the future here...fingers crossed!

I know literally nobody cares about physics in a fantasy setting but i do. Let's talk about murr's notes from one of his cards.

Ok let's go

Constellations on the left, i wonder what he named them? And I'll assume planets orbiting on the right? Very interesting. What other astronomical objects are there besides earth and moon in mhyk world? I wanna know tell me

ATOMS! oh my gooood, i wonder how far atoms as a concept have already been explored. There's so much to them. This model (called the bohr model fyi) shows the very stererotypical way most people know an atom, with a nucleus in the middle and electrons orbiting it. It's not true! It's outdated. That's not what electrons do. What we know about electrons is that we don't know what they even exactly do. This isn't because science is lazy but because it is physically impossible to do so (see heisenberg uncertainty principle). Instead we have orbitals, which are 3d spaces and basically a guess at where the electrons are most probably likely to be at. Mr Hart do you know what an orbital is??? This is what orbitals look like btw

you gotta imagine like. All these shapes overlaying eachother btw. That's what an atom looks like. Kinda.

Now onto the next:

The way stuff is written down is convincing me differential equations potentially exist there. I feel the "!?" next to the cube there on a spiritual level, Muru. It's okay you'll survive it i'm sure.

Hmmm....a damped oscillation, i guess? Not much to say. It sure is a damped oscillation.

IS THAT A FUCKING POTENTIAL WELL (physics exam nightmare flashbacks)

Jokes aside, this is a potential well! (Or so is my guess). Again, this is not what irl looks like tho, outdated. This is what irl looks like:

Lennard jones potential!

And now. My question to Mr Hart is. Why is there a dashed line mirroring the diagramm??? What's that brother??? Anti mass??? Idk

[codesquire]

Is it good or bad that Sabrina Carpenter has replaced Melissa Joan Hart, who replaced Audrey Hepburn, as the face that my mind sees when I read/hear "Sabrina"?

Especially when my inner-monologue says it in Jimmy Pop voice.

Yeah, I'm fucking old.
