The name Fifty Steps Studio comes from years as a marathon runner.
Runners need water, but when you slow to a walk to get water, it is easy to just… keep… walking for a long time.
So, walk fifty steps, then start running again.
Get it? It's like a metaphor or something.

The mouth-breathers who think a skilled young woman in her mid-20s should not be piloting a #Learjet will eagerly put people the same age into F-16s and send them into battle.
RIP.
Looks like I will miss voting this year for the first time since I lived overseas.
Da woman will miss her first chance to vote since becoming a citizen earlier this year.
Fooey.

Welp.
Crossing a ravine today by holding the base of a small tree and easing down. We had been doing this for 2 days on a work project.
The roots broke loose. I did a 7 foot free fall, landed on a tree trunk.
Four broken ribs and a punctured lung. Try not to make me laugh.

If the world is getting a little too much may I recommend the inexplicably obsolete word ‘latibulating’, from the 17th century? To latibulate is to find a cosy corner somewhere and hide in it.
Government:
“The economy is doing great. The only people suffering are you and people you know. Everyone else is fine.
Lookie. Here are some numbers to prove it.”

Nearing peak fall color at Indiana University right now.
No wonder College Gameday chose Bloomington this week.
Showalter Fountain is going to be an all-time Gameday backdrop on the most beautiful campus in the country.
Never thought “avoid walking in front of the president while wearing biker shorts” would be a thing, but here we are.
