You find it in the voluntary adoption of responsibility." -- Jordan Peterson And some additional context to add is that the priorities for responsibility start with and for yourself. The deer in the neighborhood have become tame, quite tame. I think we are at the point where I can train them to eat from my hand. I dont feed them, but it is clear others in the neighborhood are feeding them. I am questioning whether it is right or wrong.

We are so experienced and organized we even moved frozen food in the free checked luggage. Of course, all the luggage was at the maximum allowed weight. I decided (finally) to have the 2012 Leaf shipped to Atlanta. I found the cheapest place to get a new battery out in California. So with a new battery it will be making the trip cross country.
