Moleskin: “To be rooted is perhaps the most important and least recognized need of the human soul.” -Simone Weil. “On his travels in search of Middle America, Charles Kuralt was drawn to Arrol’s drugstore in the town of Arcola, Illinois. There he noticed 162 coffee cps on the wall behind the counter, inscribed with the names of customers who regularly stopped for a morning chat. He learned that the only way to receive a signed cup of one’s own was to have bought a hundred cups of coffee and sipped it there with the other regulars. By the hundredth cup, the newcomer was finally recognized as part of the community.” Belden Lane, Landscapes of the Sacred p. 223.

I have that gift primarily because of F3, except it’s free. Look at how frisbee is thriving, with Shiplap leading beatdowns next week. Don’t miss it. Look at how ao_dark_room is drawing new people in. What a thing to look at our 5 ao’s on the F3 map. We have what so many people rootless are looking for. Let’s share it.

Prayers for multiple concerns including Spielberg

Choose curiosity over judgment. Curiosity is our ability to take all the information about someone and a situation, and admit we do not know everything. We dig in deeper. Curiosity is a relationship builder.

Thang 1: 11s Spittoon
PAX must do a 300 count deadlift spittoon and 50 count squat spittoon at the first light post.
At the second, they do a 275 count deadlift spittoon and 75 count squat spittoon.
Each light post takes 25 from the deadlifts and adds 25 to the squats until all 10 light posts have been visited.
In retrospect, there is nothing about the number 11 involved here, but the format is the same.

Thang 2: 11s, normal version
Dips and BBSUs back toward the flag
