Good writing Hal. Hope our paths cross sometime as the sun creeps more to the south. Ideally it would be as I was heading down from Mosquito Pass and you were heading up.

Hi Hal, I’m Lynn’n mom and love reading your postings. This one was like a chapter that I hoped would have a happy ending. Lynn talked a lot about Laredo; she adored him. Thanks for sharing your beautiful writing and photo graphs. I almost feel guilty for not paying an admission. thanks for giving us such beauty.

I had not heard about the Temple Grandin School, so I googled it. Expensive indeed.

I enjoyed this article very much. It generates lots of emotions and some peacefulness, also. Picture is great. If you don’t look too close, you can see a cross.

Hi Hal,
Thought you might find the blog I wrote about electric fencing interesting. There was no way we could have built a standard wire fence in this location so we decided to give it a try. After two years we are still really pleased with this fence. No elk damage and no wandering heifers.
Happy New Year.

Comment on Temple Grandin, animals and neurodiversity by Greg Nolan

Hal
Just read your story on Temple Grandin. I am so glad you tuned into her. High level autistics have pushed the limits of science and technology since a cave man sitting in the back of cave repeating a lapping stroke cause he didn’t want to talk to anybody made a folsom point. .

I remember taking a taxi in Chicago a few decades ago with my father. That was on wild ass ride. I still remember it vividly and wouldn’t trade the memory for a thing.
Life is like like that.
Enjoy the ride.
Everything is going to be alright.
