Woody Harrelson questions Jeremy Renner on the witness stand in a scene from North Country (2005). This is Woody's third honorable mention, after White Men Can't Jump and Management.

Anyway, after a decade (???) I finally, last year, put the due date for when I have to file my sales, use, and withholding tax to the state. So, initially, there was the thing where their computer fucked up my whole account, and it took ages on the phone for someone to figure this out and fix it for me (pro tip: when dealing with state bureaucracy, try to get a black woman over 40 on the phone, this is the only demographic that knows how anything works). But since then, it's just...like they're due at the end of February, what the fuck, how does anyone remember that. So for the last 8 years or so, I've filed and paid when I get a yellow paper in the mail (another artist I know calls this "the yellow paper of terror") and I'm like "oh shit, I was supposed to do that". The upside to that is, is that they don't actually impose a late fee or interest? Like, on the return, there are links to a helpful calculator to figure out your own late fee and interest, without anything that forces you to do that, effectively putting both of those things on the honor system, as if I'm gonna fucking tell on myself to the government.

All that to say, I've been filing and paying my sales tax months late for the last ten years, with no consequence. But no more! Today was the due date and I fucking did it on time.

This is so accurately midwestern.

Decided maybe I’d start posting some of my runs again!

Did some runs around my old college stomping grounds while I was in the area for a really beautiful wedding! Got to see some college buds I never get to see! My husband is both from the area and also an alum so we did a pretty run around the campus and then a night run last night around the campus!!

Then got back home and felt antsy after 8 hours in the car so I did my FIRST interval run back since the half and it felt mostly good!! Marking that a win!!

Ampersand Mountain || Franklin County, New York

A mountain located in the High Peaks Region of New York State, Ampersand has a decent 2 mile trail up to its peak. It boasts a beautiful rocky summit with a 360° view of Saranac and Ampersand Lake and the mountains surrounding them.

There used to be a firetower situated on the top before it were deemed outdated and removed, but a metal plaque was installed to commemorate the fellow who stood watch, Walter Channing Rice, who was also nicknamed "The Hermit of Ampersand."

Northern Nights

you listen and you know you could live a better life than you do, be softer, kinder. and maybe this year you will be able to do it.

North Country

In the north country now it is spring and there     is a certain celebration. The thrush has come home. He is shy and likes the     evening best, also the hour just before morning; in that blue and gritty light he     climbs to his branch, or smoothly sails there. It is okay to know only     one song if it is this one. Hear it rise and fall; the very elements of your soul     shiver nicely. What would spring be without it? Mostly frogs. But don’t worry, he

arrives, year after year, humble and obedient     and gorgeous. You listen and you know you could live a better life than you do, be     softer, kinder. And maybe this year you will be able to do it. Hear how his voice     rises and falls. There is no way to be sufficiently grateful for the gifts we are     given, no way to speak the Lord’s name often enough, though we do try, and

especially now, as that dappled breast     breathes in the pines and heaven’s windows in the north country, now spring     has come,     are opened wide.

—Mary Oliver

Elle Peterson as Karen, Sissy Spacek as Alice, and Charlize Theron as Josie are three generations of Aimes females in North Country (2005). Josie is based on Lois Jenson who began work in the coal mine in 1975 and filed her first lawsuit in 1988 after 13 years of harrassment. Her case was settled in 1998.
