Three PAX strolled around with rucks first thing, even though it was a bit chilly. One man wandered on his own in the dark, also with rucksack. Who knows what they all found? Somewhere thereabouts these now-four men descended upon The Wall as did 13 more – some coming from as far away as a mythical place in Orange County called Carrboro. All 17 were fully prepared and ready to do what came next.

There are things we can control in this world, and there are things we can influence. As we mosey through our days, we take in air, use some oxygen and exhale. We need to keep breathing and moving and making things happen. You can slow your breathing down, you can speed it up – or you can hold your breath if you want to. But eventually you need to keep going, in then out, in order to make this world and your place in it better at the end of the day. Thanks for showing up and spending this time breathing together. Cheers.
Final Announcement:
There will be The Thicket on Monday, Skynyrd has the Q.
