Like I know you can stamp on the brake faster than that but is that the right thing to do? “oh yeah good point.”

It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.

He lived in a hut built over a dug-out at Squirrel Narrows. Found frozen to death in the 1930s by Kettle Falls pioneer Oliver Knox; Upton was perched lifeless in the snow just a half-mile from his home. Shunning civilization, Upton defined the word hermit.

ReplyDeleteYikes. What. How.
ReplyDeleteOne of the most useful things I found when teaching my kids to drive:
ReplyDelete"Where the vehicle is now is usually not that important. Where it's going to be a few seconds is incredibly important."
