pm--4.25 Truncated Anasazi. Nothing better than celebrating the 4th in the heat of the afternoon on our co-owned land. If you ask me, that's one of the most beautiful parts of this national experiment.

am--3.75 Flat Anasazi exploration mid morning w/Tom. Chatted about Enneagram. Because it's treated as a separate entity in certain religions, I read the Torah as whole with complementary snippets from the Nevi'im. Now on to the Kethuvim.
