There we go, now we're firing on all cylinders. The guy in my nightmare last night told me it's high time for me to pull the trigger on the first piece of hack writing I've hammered out since last summer. So here's a full magazine of nonsense content locked and loaded and ready for your consumption, mostly in the form of pictures I shot with an iPhone that just decided to die on me. My target is obviously for all of this to end very badly because apparently I'm a champion when it comes to setting myself up for failure.

That's a relief. Plus now there's nobody around for school districts to sue for creating a youth mental health crisis.

[Avalanche](https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/psicc/recarea/?recid=12634) is the name of a trailhead near Buena Vista, CO. It's a good access point for the Colorado Trail and a popular 14er called Mt. Yale. 

The mountains in my photos are actually a ways south of that, near the town of Westcliffe.

What a name for a trailhead. Sounds extra dangerous. 

> near the town of Westcliffe.

Small town in the mountains? No matter where they are, those are stunning mountains. 

> *I think I'm permanently mostly here but not quite all there.*

Where is the part that's not mostly permanently here and is it mostly all there?
