Best steak I've ever had came from a biker bar in Longview, Alberta. It was a lunch special. Think it cost $10 CAD

For me, the bright light is also key. Day after day of leaving in the dark and coming home in the dark, and never feeling the sun through layers of clothes, wears on the soul. It gets better already by late January, when you feel the days getting longer and the sun getting warmer.

Maybe, just maybe, she is sensing that we are coming to the end of troll politics, and the nasty bombastic rhetoric is generating a backlash, so it's time to elevate the discourse? Even if you dont like her, if she is correct that this is the way the wind is starting to blow, it's very positive.

Give them some grace. I have spent hours and hours fishing in places where i was neither catching nor expecting to catch fish, and found that there was no place in the world I would rather be.
