Freedom Of Religion also means Freedom From Religion.

Chocolate kills dogs, for starters.

VCA is the walmart/amazon/google, etc of the veterinary world. My **** told me they had to do battle with them in *****. Fortunately for them, they were sitting on valuable real estate and were very popular with their neighbors. My ****'s husband wasn’t as fortunate in *****. VCA forced him out of business.

The view is the thing you earned. Definitely take it in.

I see switchbacks as engineered trails these days. By that, I mean it is even more challenging to hike where there isn’t a lot of interest in hiking and there aren’t many curated trails. When I see switchbacks now, I understand someone more knowledgeable than me has put in some serious effort to help guide me along on a more reasonable grade than just bushwhackin straight up the hill. On my bike, switchbacks can be a godsend.

Panel 2 misses one of the attractive points of hiking for me: a healthier sense of perspective. When you can experience the vastness of wilderness and realize your relatively microscopic relationship to such an overwhelming scale, you can begin to realize your little rat-race anxieties down below are something you can shed entirely.

I grew up in an abusive family that made me feel like shit every birthday and I hate that for myself. If you want to make me climb out of my skin, fuss over me on my birthday, bring me a cake at work. Watch me puke in the bathroom from the anxiety. Yeah, real mature.

@bytesonbike@discuss.online That’s a nice interface. Any idea what program or app it is?
