Gandalf quote from Return of the King –
“It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule.”

Uproot evil. Be a light wherever you are. Leave it better for those who come after us.
MOLESKIN:
Just keep an eye out for the women who walk the park loop in the mornings. They get there at 4:30am every day. If working the loop, just give em a wide berth when passing and don’t forget to say hello!

Welcome Clinger!!!
MOLESKIN:
Discussed the Stockdale Paradox from Good to Great. “Retain faith that you will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties. AND at the same time – Confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.” – Push on. Don’t lose hope. But don’t ignore what is right in front of you.

PRO TIP – If it’s wet, it’s hard to see the duck droppings around the Duck Pond. And the wetness makes it way easier for them to get on your clothes.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
None.
