This is the worst time of year to live in Illinois. Constant 30+ degree shifts, tearing up the sinuses. EMS calls go on the rise, as do deaths at the change of seasons. I am constantly sick. Good news is: only a month to go!

Was thinking earlier today about Nodaway County, in northwestern Missouri. It was the strangest place I've ever lived, and I've lived all around. It was unfriendly to the extreme, outside of Maryville, the county seat and university town. I was an outsider, and made to feel like it constantly. It was like an old cliche of the frontier west, where you were never quite sure if you might have to shoot your way out. I learned out in Nodaway that "Who are you and what are you doing out here?" isn't really a sentence. It's a look some people know how to give. I survived it, but it's on a very short list of places I'd never return to.

Getting in shape becomes a kind of addiction after a while. A healthy one, but an addiction nonetheless.

The hardest part about intermittent fasting isn't the hunger: you get past that in about a month. The hardest part is the dehydration: with my 40/8, I need to drink about a gallon of water a day. I fail at this. Daily.
