Thanks sb. Hug to brother Raccoon too. This thread actually changed my plan today from doing a freesolo climbing lap up an easy 700 foot route, to getting the pup out for a hike to trying to transplant some Wapato where there is shitloads to another location close to home where I want it to be where there is none. The internet seems lacking in the best way to do that, but I’m planning on hiking in with a couple quart water bottles, filling up the lower 1/3 with silt and leaving some river water in, then hiking out and trying not to spill.
Haven’t kept in touch, but I know someone originally from ZA who, with her mom and dad, barely escaped with their lives when “apartheid” ended.
Same dealy, things were pretty safe, everyone got fed, businesses ran, etc., until the inmates took over the asylum, and then you had petty warlords spring up, widespread violence, rapes, killings, etc., and those who had any property pretty much with just the clothes on their back trying to get out.
Pretty sad. I’ll avoid political commentary but a lot of that’s in store for the USA unless people wake up and grow some brains.
