Actually, I was going to say this: I really did have a great hike. I really 
enjoyed myself, as I usually do. Even in the rain that day, I had a good time. 
Didn't want it to be so wet. But, it was. No big deal. I had an enjoyable time 
in that shelter with that mouse. I honestly, deep down inside honestly, wanted 
that mouse to talk to me. He looked at me like he could. 

I also loved hiking into Chesire and Dalton. Re-living days of my thru-hike and 
just experiencing things I like experiencing. I like having people look at me 
like I'm crazy for doing something they wouldn't. me thinking they're crazy for 
going to work 40 hours a week doing something they don't like doing. 

Anyway...there were only a few minutes of the three days I didn't enjoy: The 
few minutes after putting on my wet clothes Tuesday morning (and, those minutes 
are sorta funny in their simplicity) and, the few minutes of excruciating pain 
that made me have to decide to stop the hike. I didn't even mind the hiking (7 
miles or so) after I'd decided to stop. and, stopping was definitely the right 
decision.

What kind of stick?  (Where does this take place??)
