Everyone knows that shit’s bad right now. Everyone.
It doesn’t seem like it because “they” control the news and made it taboo to talk about, but people are smart (or they have internet anyway).
Half of the planet is literally on fire. Costs have doubled, the worlds superpowers are at our doorstep, the dollar has lost whatever value it had left, people are randomly dropping dead, and the ones who caused this all are probably on vacation somewhere.
We need to connect locally more than ever right now. Meet your neighbors, build your networks, socialize your children.
Stop dreaming that the people trying to control you are going to set you free, or even be able to remotely undo the damage they have caused.
I’ve had hope before that one or two of them might be honest about their commitment to the people, but always disappointed when it comes down to it. Until now.
Kennedy
I met RFK Jr. at my neighbor’s house last weekend.
I’ve never voted in my life, but always thought that I might if there were someone worthwhile. This man has almost swayed me.
I missed his announcement in Boston, although it was only an hour away.
I also missed seeing him in June, but I was in the packed room for his introduction.
I was running the live stream outside so that the hundreds that couldn’t get in would still be able to see him… and I had to run out to start it up right as he was taking the stage.
It was recorded though, and we were able to watch it live from my campsite.
I’ve been a fan of his since hearing about Children’s Health Defense back in 2020, and I love what I’ve heard from him at these talks. I trust Kennedy.
My only criticism so far is that he won’t promise to Free Ross.
Kennedy promised to immediately investigate Ross Ulbricht’s case, and if he felt that Ross was punished as an example, then he will give him clemency.
Anyone that spends 30 seconds looking at Ross’s “crime” vs. punishment will know that he was obviously punished as an example.
❤️❤️ Ross Ulbricht’s Mom, Lyn, at my campsite surrounded by love after Porcfest ’23 ❤️❤️
I’ve been friends with Ross’s Mom Lyn since Anarchadelphia in 2019. I was actually talking with her at that event, and Ross happened to call from prison. Lyn put him on speaker, but I was literally speechless yet I had so much I wanted to say.
The drive and energy that Lyn has is truly remarkable as she has been fighting for over 10 years to find some justice for her son.
Ross was sentenced 200 years in prison for creating The Silk Road. Yes, double life sentence plus 40 years for creating a website. He’s going on 11 years now locked in a cage, which got worse in 2020 as lock-downs even affected prisons.
The website was the world’s first online marketplace that accepted Bitcoin. It created a virtual Silk Road where buyers and sellers from around the world could exchange online without any middle men. And THAT is why he became an example.
I had the honor of introducing Lyn to Crosby, the owner of Roger’s Campground (until I find a way to buy it from him) 😉
Bitcoin
I also introduced Lyn to the filmmaker documenting the Crypto 6.
Yup, that’s a custom made J6 Insurrection pinball machine. Gotta love Porcfest!
The Crypto 6 is a story about a few friends of mine that were raided at 6AM on March 16, 2021.
Over 50 federal agents from a soup of agencies broke through windows with Bearcats, sent in a drone, and pulled a sleeping couple out of their bed naked.
Why? Because they used dollars inappropriately, or some stupid financial “crime” involving Bitcoin.
I wish I was exaggerating, but that was actually their response to a handful of non-violent money laundering charges.
One of the Crypto 6 just went to prison for 18 months, which is why I now have a dog.
A few have worked out plea deals in exchange for the hope of less jail time.
And sentencing for the last one of the six is scheduled for the 11th of September. He had one of the best attorney’s, yet is facing almost 100 years in prison. For Bitcoin.
I’m not going to explain Bitcoin, or why it’s so much better than the dollar. RFK mentioned it in his talk at Weare, and is accepting it for campaign donations. It is a solution to many of our problems.
You know it must be good if the feds are locking up a young man for more than double life sentence, and busting down doors at 6am to try to stop it.
Maybe they’re scared of it.
If we fear them, and they fear Bitcoin, maybe using more Bitcoin would help us fear them less. 🤔
Becker
So, that leads me to me. I am making my own example out of me. I like to inspire people, and encourage everyone to challenge yourself to be the best you can be.
I’ve built a business education center with co-working space, and classrooms, and started a weekly market on Friday. The business part is to help empower others to be able to create an independent business. The education is all about teaching our kids, and learning new skills from the experts in the community. The Wearehouse has meeting space, 3d printing, recording studio, virtual classrooms, library, plenty of land, and are located right in the heart of New Hampshire – Weare NH.
Weare
I only moved to this town in 2021, but have met some incredible people here. I jumped at the chance to get involved with the Weare Community Theater, and helped create The Pine Tree Riot play last year for the 250th anniversary of that event.
I’ve also created a website for the town to use at wearenh.org. It’s a model for what a town page could actually feel like… rather than the endless sea of forms and legalize on weare.nh.gov and most other .gov websites.
Wearenh.org is an effort to showcase the best parts of our local community, and promote local business and events… like the social gathering we’ve been enjoying on Friday’s, and some of the classes that will be hosted at The Wearehouse.
It is intended to be a model of what other towns could create as they begin to build stronger connections in their communities.
I have a curriculum for teaching computer skills to the community. These classes will begin in September, but I’ve been practicing all summer with weekly Lunch & Learns, and an introductory class that I taught for Autonomy Unlimited. That class is available now at DCNH.cloud.
Space
Soon I will be starting up some space focused classes and events like a rocket club meetup for kids, and a weekly watch party for The Why Files video premiers. This will likely spawn a class to create our own tin foil hats.
You
Last, but not least, there’s YOU!!
If you would like to take part in any of these endeavors, you can join The Wearehouse at https://thewearehouse.com/join or sign up for the cloud hosting introduction class at DCNH.cloud.
Our world is in jeopardy and we need to work together to solve the issues that we’re all facing. We have to connect with those around us, and form our own communities.
This is the day that I met Azrijah. The day after Porcfest XX ended on June 25th.
Her human left her with friends before heading to prison for 18 months as punishment for trading dollars for bitcoin without the proper permission slips.
Aria is a host of She Talk Live, ran for Sheriff, and was captured as a part of the FBI raid of the Crypto Six back in March 2021.
So, she dropped Azrijah off at my friends campsite. When I saw her, and heard the story, we bonded instantly.
We went for a walk and ended up spending a couple hours at my campsite
We took another walk around Roger’s Campground, but I let her lead this time. She walked right to the Free Talk Live campsite, where she had spent most of the past 2 weeks.
Later, while I was recording a promo video, she decided to check one last place… which was heartbreaking to watch.
After realizing that her room was now abandoned, she guided me to a spot with an incredible view. I just have to assume that was their peaceful hideaway. We stayed there for a while as she was forced to cope with the fact that her human wasn’t there anymore.
It wasn’t long before I noticed the remarkable resemblance with my cousin’s lost dog Lucy. Lucy disappeared during a camping trip in North Carolina back in April of this year.
There has been a major search effort for her ever since. Lucy’s been on over 50 news broadcasts, and her Facebook group has over 2000 members looking for her.
So we have a dog that lost her family, and a family that lost their dog.
I’m so happy for Dana, Glenn, and their family! You never gave up, and are finally being rewarded 🥰
I’ve spent the past month with Azrijah, and I completely understand the attachment that can develop, particularly with Golden’s.
Now, I’m just waiting for the judge to realize it was a mistake to lock someone in a cage for a “crime” with no victim, and we can reunite Azrijah with her family again.
… in an effort to free the world for my daughter and granddaughter.
I just stood in the center of the Universe. Right in the middle of my house, which is the most visible house in Weare. Weare has the coolest history out of any town in the state. Weare is located in the heart of New Hampshire. New Hampshire has been rated #1 in freedom out of all 50 states, for many years in a row. The states are part of the best country in the world. Our world is the center of our universe.
While I’m generally living ultimate freedom as a nomad, I have been staying in New Hampshire for most of 2020 though today.
This place has the history that other states could only dream of. Fast forward 250 years, and here’s what we have today…
I fell in love with Weare when I read about it’s rich history, and soon thereafter I purchased a beautiful colonial farmhouse built in the 1700’s, which has been newly converted in to community office space.
Weare is where my heart is, and I truly enjoy being part of the amazing community here. The Wearehouse is an awesome space, and I love sharing it with the many people that are working to build a brighter future.
Last year I assisted with the play to retell the story of The Pine Tree Riot for the 250th anniversary. We brought the past to life with a re-enactment of the events that took place that day in 1772.
This year I’m starting a series of classes called Build Back Becker to teach computer skills for creating the network of yesterday. We are live streaming them on our own servers, to be shared out to the world.
I’ve also created a website to promote our history, and local businesses. wearenh.org is an association to manage the website content, and request additions. It’s almost like a BBB or COC, but I really don’t know what it will be when it grows up.
I’m also part of the second play that will be performed in August of this year. This one is about the hurricane and flood in the 1930’s. Our Weare Community Theater group formed last year, and pulled together an incredible performance. Especially considering the couple of months that we had to pull it all together. wearenh.org/ptr250 has the links to the action.
Then on Saturday morning, we are cleaning up 2 miles of South Stark Highway, before heading to the Pine Tree Riot anniversary celebration sponsored by Americans for Prosperity.
16.29
Ironically, on April 19th, I opened a letter explaining that I would be in default on the loan if I don’t prove them that I paid all $16.29 that is overdue to the theft department by April 21.
I imagine there’s a good chance that number is up to 17.72 by now.

CLARK – Sharon Anne, 33, late of Grafton, NH, was found deceased in her home on Nov. 20, 2022. Sharon was the youngest daughter of Robert and Jane Clark of Front Royal, VA. Born in Winfield, IL on June 15, 1989, she is survived by her parents Robert and Jane, brothers Daniel and James, sisters Elizabeth and Becky, niece Jade, other relatives, and many friends.
Sharon loved the Lord and liberty, and desired that all would understand the gospel. She welcomed debate and enjoyed sharing her insights concerning sustainable living, political philosophy, and theology. She was an avid blogger and hard worker. She pursued adventure and challenges.
Sharon was homeschooled through high school, taught elective classes for homeschoolers, and led a worship team of signers at church. She received her black belt in karate from Front Royal Karate Club. She acquired her certification in ASL (American Sign Language) from NOVA, then studied engineering at Chattanooga State Community College in Tennessee before traveling to Montreal, Canada to study the French language. She was conversant in French and wrote many articles in both English and French. Two years ago she moved to New Hampshire to join the Free State Project, and worked at MTD Building Contractors in Canaan, NH.
Sharon volunteered with Habitat For Humanity, both in the United States and in Canada, and sought to help the poor and the homeless whenever she could. She will be greatly missed.
A memorial will be held on Sunday, January 1, 2023 at 1 p.m. at the Mill Brook Christian Fellowship in Grafton, NH.
To Plant Memorial Trees in memory, please visit our Sympathy Store.
As I’ve done before with the Death of Elisa Lam I am going to attempt to understand another mysterious, and horrific tragedy.
This time it’s a dear friend of mine, Sharon Clark. First, I would like to share my personal message…
Forwarded from t.me/fspfc/151
Today we celebrate the life of Sharon Clark. Sharon was an incredible person, and has had an enormous positive influence on the people that were graced with her kindness, selflessness, and dedication.
As an activist in New Hampshire, and Grafton specifically, she had such a tremendous impact on bringing the community together. The legacy that she has left behind will last forever.
I am grateful to have known her as long as I did. We met in Grafton last year, and she quickly became one of my favorite people in New Hampshire. Her motivation and passion were extremely admirable, and I believe she may be the most wholesome person I’ve ever met.
I had great aspirations of working together with her, and dreaming of the incredible things we would accomplish. I am very torn by her passing. I am sure she’s in the best place possible, and I know her angelic presence will continue to guide me through many of our shared visions.

Sharon was passionately driving the Free Grafton project – Organizing members of the town, integrating locals into the community, and holding monthly meetings and potlucks. https://freegrafton.bravesites.com/
She was also diligently working on proposing changes to the Town of Grafton regulations, most of which would benefit those living in tiny houses and increase freedom overall. https://freegrafton.boards.net/board/2/local-initiatives
Thank you for everything you have done. May you rest in peace knowing that your time on earth will never be forgotten.

Memorial
Sharon’s Memorial service was today at Mill Brook Christian Fellowship in Grafton, NH.
I learned there, for the first time, that Sharon died of a gunshot wound. I was speechless as I met her Mother Jane, and Sister Becky for the first time… while I also learned that my friends death was not accidental (as I had come to believe). Jane was explaining to a man named Bill as I walked in, and both agreed that the official story did not make sense.
Sharon’s mother is confident though that God will be sure that Sharon’s wishes of Truth, Liberty, and Justice will be served.
It’s been one year since I first laid my eyes on this place, and it has been an epic journey getting here
Weare it Began…
Red Pill Expo after party, at The Jekyll Island Club resort (The dozens of friends I made there are still some of the coolest people on earth)
Jekyll Island
Last October I traveled from New Hampshire to Jekyll Island to attend Red Pill Expo with G. Edward Griffin. The event was amazing, but having the privilege to hang out with G Edward in the building where the Federal Reserve Act was signed in 1913… just WOW. This likely completed the majority of my bucket list all in one day.
Ed (yeah, I did that 😉 wrote the book about the Federal Reserve called The Creature from Jekyll Island. And here I am, sitting with him at the Jekyll Island Club on Jekyll Island. I felt the world change that day.

We walkedall the way aroundthe star fort, and stopped at a couple of bars.
U.N.I.T.Y.
The current chapter in my story began last November. The last chapter was a wild one, so I should probably write that one next. But for now, this began as an idea. An idea I had one night while living in my camper down by the river… in all of Florida’s beauty.
I was staying at a friend’s house on the lake in Tavares, FL. I had actually just met him a few weeks earlier during Red Pill.
Where I lived for a month while in Tavares, FLChad and I in his backyard
Our boat trip to dinner the night Dr Kaufmann was leaving, and I was arriving.Del Bigtree and I at the Florida Medical Freedom pool party in November 2020Zen Awakening 2020
So, while watching the world fall apart from my easy chair in paradise, I realized that the only way to stop the freight train that’s trying to run us all over was U.N.I.T.Y.
I have thousands of friends – but that’s not what I mean by unity. I mean; we need to UNITE where the MSM and politicians are trying to create division. They don’t want us working together because we might realize that WE DON’T NEED THEM. They create narratives to divide people based on political silos, fringe issues, color, and anything else they can think of.
I have seen this division with multiple movements that have had the potential to actually change the world. Bitcoinforked, Anarchapulcoforked, Porcfestforked, and the FSP essentially forked in 2016. These were all caused by unnecessary drama, relatively created out of thin air. Today, you can see the attempts at division growing stronger, but the tyranny is forcing us to be stronger and unite.
The Idea
My idea is to create a platform for all of the groups in the world to be able to share their common goals and ideas, and still be able to express their individuality. I don’t know what exactly sparked the idea, but could have been the lighter sparking the joint. I don’t smoke often, but have been experimenting now and then for a year or so. I still don’t recommend it, but have I had some pretty intense highdeas on occasion. This was one of them.
I have been part of the Free State Project for almost 10 years now. I didn’t move until 2016, but have supported it since the day I first read about it in a random youtube comment. There are about 20,000 liberty minded people actively trying to move to New Hampshire to create a free state.
This is going great, and we’ve built an incredible thing that has never been tried before. Although, there have been numerous hurdles. The project gained tremendous attention in 2016 when we hosted Edward Snowden at Liberty Forum. We also triggered the move by reaching 20,000 pledge signatures.
I found out about the Freedom Cell Network in the summer of 2020. I immediately recognized the value in this system, as it’s designed to bring people together for the purpose of building a network of freedom loving people by networking with others in your area.
I decided that the best way to achieve unity was to combine my two favorite projects into a new Free State Project Freedom Cell. This could be HUGE. Using the existing resources of the Freedom Cell social media network, we could organize the people in New Hampshire, and also connect them with others that haven’t made it here yet.
New Hampshire
The people living in New Hampshire as part of the Free State Project are some of the most experienced and freedom minded people in the world. They have dedicated most of their life to creating Liberty in our Lifetime. We have been building communities, creating alternatives to the corporate systems, and preparing for economic collapse on a global level. Some of us for over ten years now.
So here I am, exactly where I’m meant to be. I’m in the center of New Hampshire, the freest state in the “freest country” in the world. I chose the perfect location on a map, I put my finger on it, and underneath was the house of my dreams. Literally.
I now own a place in Weare, NH on John Stark Highway, about halfway between two of the largest cities in NH. Weare is part of the reason you have any freedom today. This was due to one of the first acts of rebellion against the tyranny of England on April 14, 1772. I would highly recommend reading about the Pine Tree Riots to understand the significance of this town.
Live Free or Die
John Stark Highway runs right through the center of town. General John Stark wrote Live Free or Die: Death is not the worst of evils, back in July of 1809, and it still rings true today. Just as the phrase written by John Locke describing an appeal to heaven
And where the body of the people, or any single man, is deprived of their right, or is under the exercise of a power without right, and have no appeal on earth, then they have a liberty to appeal to heaven, whenever they judge the cause of sufficient moment. And therefore, though the people cannot be judge, so as to have, by the constitution of that society, any superior power, to determine and give effective sentence in the case; yet they have, by a law antecedent and paramount to all positive laws of men, reserved that ultimate determination to themselves which belongs to all mankind, where there lies no appeal on earth, viz. to judge, whether they have just cause to make their appeal to heaven.

Death is not the worst of evils.
If you know me, you know I’m not afraid of death – it’s the people that I leave behind that I worry about. I have lived every day of my life as if it could be my last, and I’ve enjoyed every bit of it. I will never give that up, but will also never give up my freedom.
I may not have much time left. I don’t know how I’ll go, or where I’ll go – but there are many things that could take me there now. Besides the fact that I smoke, drink, and eat almost entirely processed junk food, I’m also putting myself at risk of being Ross’d or Suicided/Clintoned.
I would prefer the latter, as I wouldn’t want my family to go through the pain that my dear friend Lyn must feel every day with her son locked in a cage for making a website.
FSPFC
The Free State Project Freedom Cell is not a group, or anything like that. It’s just a way to organize people around the state of New Hampshire, and be able to set up networks for food, shelter, communication, events, community, and anything else detrimental to our freedom and survival. We intend to thrive, and be the change we’d like to see in the world.
Honestly, this is the idea that I expect to gain the most traction. It encompasses almost everything that we’re looking to achieve. The Freedom Cell Network has grown in just a couple of years to over 20 thousand of the best people on earth. We are working on our exit strategy to build independence in our lives. The Free State Project reached 20,000 pledges in February 2016, but didn’t come with much of a plan to organize those people.
Being such an independent individual, instead of suggesting “Somebody should…”, I decided to start working on a plan. I registered fspfc.org while still in Florida, and started my b-line back to New Hampshire to start looking for a home base for this new project.
Although I was certain that I’d have hundreds of people excited for this new hybrid merger of FSP and FC, I also accept the fact that there are probably thousands of other projects already in the works here in NH. It would be up to me to market this one myself.
The Wearehouse
As I arrived back to New Hampshire just in time for Thanksgiving, I set my sights on buying property. Initially, I planned to buy everything I could afford to finance, since I knew the ideas in my head would start to manifest lots of attention and new movers looking for housing.
I didn’t really consider buying commercial property, although it’s always been a dream of mine. I was working with Constance at Porcupine Real Estate, and also frantically watching Zillow and Redfin. I found a few multi-family houses, and fixer uppers, and even toured a couple. Constance tipped me off to Homesnap, which would ultimately change my life.
Then I realized I needed to narrow my search down to something more specific than the entire state of New Hampshire. I thought for a while, and decided that if I were to pick any town, it would be Weare because of their revolutionary history. Once I committed to that, I thought “Where in Weare?”. Well, there’s a highway running right through the center of the town named after General John Stark. Perfect!
I followed that highway with my finger on the map. This wasn’t a real estate map, I was just looking for the location and planned to figure out the real estate later. So, my thoughts were to try being as close to a major city, while also staying fairly central to the two nearest cities – Concord and Manchester. Once I traced John Stark highway to it’s Southernmost point in Weare (closest to Manchester), I had the perfect location.
South Weare has most of the commerce too. There’s Stark House Tavern, Dunkin Donuts, Lanctot’s Grocery, NAPA, and many other shops. I knew instantly that this was the perfect place for me to start my property search.
It didn’t take long after selecting my dream location. I checked Homesnap for South Stark Hwy, Weare, NH – and there it was! The property had been for sale for over a year, and was just reduced in price by $70k. It was miraculous. I can’t even describe how I felt that day, knowing that I just had to have it.
That’s right… $250k in a market that you could barely touch anything residential for under $500k! So, I knew my next actions had to be very swift, and well planned. I couldn’t even show how excited I was for fear that someone else would come in to outbid me. This felt like a war, even though I was the only one involved. I started the process immediately, and had the offer accepted on the 19th! I actually managed to get all of the office furnishings included – which was likely around $15k of desks, chairs, etc.
I then started working with the banks, and trying to scrape together $70k in cash required for the down payment. We we finally able to close on March 4, 2021 after what seemed like very excessive feet dragging from the bank. I was fairly convinced (without evidence) that they didn’t want to give me the loan so they could buy it themselves.
I was on top of the world this day, and haven’t come down since. (I also went through the entire closing being the only one in the building without a mask)
And there it is. The Wearehouse was born. Time for some action!
I can’t believe the year we’ve just had. It’s been a tough one for everyone, but I really hope you are all still hanging in there.
I feel like I’ve been going non-stop since June, but I am loving every minute of it. Before I begin to recall the events of 2020, I should probably state that I’ve seen through the BS and propaganda since the beginning. I don’t trust the people that call themselves government, or their media that’s trying to polish their turds. With that said, I’m not going in to details about any of it – just wanted to clarify before I start raving about the thousands of people I’ve been in contact with.
I began 2020 in Atlantic City, where I stayed for a month. I drove from there up to NH for Liberty Forum in Feb, and then back down to my site in AC. I stopped for a bit in Philly and DC before I headed to Charlotte, NC. I was living In Charlotte for a couple weeks when the ‘rona madness started, so I didn’t get the brunt of it like the New Yorkers did. I won’t get into that much here, but as you might guess I have a LOT of opinions on it.
Ultimately, it didn’t affect me much… I continued working and living as usual, just without bars and casinos (so my wallet is happier). After Charlotte started closing up shops around the end of March, I decided to boondock for a while. I drove from Walmart to Walmart for almost a month, running on Solar power and free water at truck stops.
Myrtle Beach was just starting to open up to the public in May, and I was there on day 1. I stayed in a beautiful campground right on the ocean for a weekend, while I toured the city again for the first time in 30 years. I found one bar that was open for drinks – without restrictions (FINALLY!). The beach was nice and weather was perfect.
One place on my bucket list has always been Jekyll Island. If you’re not familiar with the history, there’s a book called “The Creature from Jekyll Island” that I’d highly recommend. I haven’t read it, but I know the story and met the author last year. TL;DR: it’s where the Federal Reserve started after a secret meeting of America’s wealthiest men (JP. Morgan, Rockefeller, etc). The Federal Reserve still continues to control the dollar that you use every day – and it’s NOT a government entity, it’s private.
The Jekyll Island Club – In 1910 the Federal Reserve Act was drafted in a secret meeting here.
So, I went to see where history happened. I have hours of video that I’ll sift through someday, but I have to admit it’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve been. Spanish moss hanging from huge Oak trees, perfectly groomed sidewalks covering the entire island, historic buildings very well preserved, and a beach that runs for miles. The island is a combination of state preserves, and extreme wealth that just showcases the utopia that the rich and powerful strive for. It’s disgustingly beautiful.I had planned on staying another week to get more video, but I actually cut my stay short.
Rode my scooter 3 miles before the battery died. Guess who walked 3 miles back…
On my last night, I tried to boondock in one of their huge empty “public” parking lots right on the beach. That lasted until about 10PM when Gomer Pyle came up to politely let me know that “the owner” would make him ticket me if he saw me there. I’m not sure who “the owner” is, but I left anyway. Drove back to Brunswick, GA for the night and started my trip to NY in the morning. On the way to NY I stopped again in CLT and WV for brief visits. CLT bars were just starting to open back up, so I had a drink in public there. It’s amazing how much that feels like an accomplishment. BTW, Georgia bars and restaurants were mostly open while I was there. No facemask requirements, except maybe for some employees. It’s appearing that Georgia could be moving close to one of the freest states in the country.
Actions like this speak louder than words. As much as I was hoping New Hampshire would be the trendsetter, I think New Hampshire’s governor chose money over freedom. Just one more reason I think money IS the problem, and we need to control that before anything else ever changes. (Read: Bitcoin)
Soooo anyway… I made it back to NY by Memorial Day, and booked a site at The Ridge in NY for the month. Was nice to actually camp, like with friends, and campfires and such. For four years I’ve been living in a camper, but rarely do it like this.
Camping at The Ridge, Leroy, NY
I stayed long enough to attend a “drive by” graduation, and visit more friends.
I will finish this page someday, but 2021 has been off to a great start… Posting as is for now, and hope to add the 2nd half of the year soon!
