National 5150 Lockdown?

The Long Road ·

2021/05/21

Dictionary.com defines 5150 as: "...the California law code for the temporary, involuntary psychiatric commitment of individuals who present a danger to themselves or others due to signs of mental illness." Considering the actions of Americans the last few months, I would position we need a national 72-hour 5150 evaluation! #thelongroad *Graphic Credit: "Anger" by DARKVINE

It's great to have and share knowledge; however, many times people get territorial and their egos get in the way of them knowing more--or even sharing what they know properly. Here are some thoughts about knowing, not knowing what you think you know, and the importance of "life-long" learning for mental and community health. #thelongroad

There is a "muscular" condition called "Tendon Guard Reflex" that can create a lot of pain, discomfort, and even injury along the backside of your body in areas of the low back, hamstrings, and calf muscles.

2021/05/15

When I was 17 years old, I attended the USMC's "Devil Pups" Youth Development Camp at Camp Pendleton, CA. This program was created in 1953 to teach young American boys what it takes to train like a Marine and to learn these physical and mental disciplines themselves as well as the spiritual strength behind the USMC. This program has graduated 51,563 young men and women Devil Pups since 1953, and I am one of them from the summer of 1976. At just 17, I experienced the gas chamber, live-fire tracer

"Professionalism in Sports by Teddy Roosevelt"

The Long Road ·

2021/05/13

In The North American Review published in 1890, Theodore Roosevelt wrote an amazing article on Americans and sports. He advocated for not only "manly" sports and outdoor pursuits but also for active participation instead of sedentary spectators watching others play. It was through this proper active participation that the best citizens were created. This idea of active participation was quite a prominent theme by the 1920s, but Roosevelt was on it long before. In the early 1960s, JFK was delivering

2021/05/08

On Memorial Day weekend of May 31, 1921, Tulsa became the worst race massacre in US history.

Here is my summary of key historical facts and why we need to know history so we don't repeat this kind of massacre again.

"Trail Context Clues"

The Long Road ·

2021/05/06

Context clues matter. Beyond the initial observation, what surrounds the situation? I saw a guy walking across the trail head parking lot towards me yesterday--holding a very large knife. What did it mean? A few months ago, I saw men coming down the running trail right at me with rifles. What did it mean? Factoring context clues--they did not mean what many would have thought. #thelongroad

"Barbasol Fitness"

The Long Road ·

2021/05/05

A couple of years ago, someone gave me a can of old-school Barbasol shaving cream. I started using it and realized it worked just as well as the fancy and more expensive cream I've been using for decades! Plus the Barbasol lasted longer too. It made me think about fitness...if we took a "Barbasol" approach to fitness, would we also save money and get the same or even better results? Why do we overcomplicate fitness and our lives? #thelongroad

"It's checkout time, so haul ass!!" -Country Dick Montana (1955-1995)I had the sheer pleasure to see the legendary band "The Beat Farmers" twice in my life of freedom. This San Diego band was popular between 1983-1995 until their lead singer Country Dick Montana died while singing on stage in 1995. My story is about the freedom in life that is largely gone this past year and that many fear will never return...here's what it was like to be there. Photo Credit: "McCabe's Gibson" by Ron Jones

Here are a few thoughts on spending a small amount of your time on simple amusement and what you can still possibly learn there. #thelongroad
