… you injure yourself while you sleep.

Saturday morning I woke up with a stinger in my left shoulder and couldn’t lift my arm above my head without pain. I stretched it out while watching football and unfortunately by the afternoon I was able to go out and rake up the fallen leaves.

Still, as long as I can get out and hike to watch wildlife like this hoary marmot, I can’t complain too much about getting older. I spent a few hours watching this marmot and its partner and the two pika that shared their talus field in Mount Rainier National Park. There was some red foliage further down so I leaned over to get both the red and green background.
