Today I went fly fishing on the Truckee River. I didn’t catch any fish, but I did catch a nap on the riverbank. When I woke up I took this picture. Look at this picture!
This is 30 minutes from my house. Only 30 minutes from where I live. Look at that trout stream! Look at those pine trees! Look at those granite rocks! Look at that blue sky!
Here I am, after some fly fishing and before some more fly fishing, and after waking up from my nap.
I fly fished some more after I woke up from my riverside nap and taking this picture. Important things are in these pictures.
Sigh…When I think of all those wasted years living in the city…
Not “wasted” years. PREPARATION years. Stop knocking the city. There is still a good time and lots to learn here.
Come find me.
I’m hiding in the secret room in the LA MELTDOWN map with a Laser trip bomb and a Chain gun. “Come get some!”
You’re right, of course. My years in the city gave me the perspective that I needed to appreciate where I live now.
