THE THANG
PAX broke up into 2 groups. Each team took turns picking a state out of a hat and recorded how many electoral votes that state provides. The PAX from both teams did the exercise required. The exercise rubric is 1-8 electoral votes: Burpees (133 possible)
9-13 electoral votes: Merkins (137 possible)
14-29 electoral votes: Mountain Climbers (2 legs = 1) (144 possible) 30+ electoral votes: Monkey Humpers (single count) (124 possible)

The red party jumped out to an early lead by winning Florida but blue was scrappy and fought back and was finally able to effectively end it by snagging California. Despite Texas and a few smaller states still undecided after 23 rounds, blue was the clear winner with 273 votes to red’s 204.

• The Grunt – Saturday Nov 9, 7am, meet at the Lincoln Memorial – New AO starting this Friday at Tuckahoe Elementary- 0530.

COT
Politics has become very divisive and toxic. The MSM and social media have been amplifying and thriving on this division, with each side imputing evil motives to every action the other side takes. Fortunately there is more that unites us than divides us and YHC is trying to find those areas of common ground.

My hope and prayer during these next couple of weeks and in the weeks and months afterwards, is that we can all find some way to tone down the rhetoric, acknowledge the good and bad in both sides and build-on the common ground that we share.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Q University this Friday at Patriot, Grunt, Vote!

COT: YHC shared about Old Rag hike this past weekend. The first time YHC did it as a little kid he was fearless, second time was frightened of the high ridges, this time less frightened as it was dark and did not see the dangers.

Often we are either conditioned to be afraid (parents always worrying and telling us to be careful, or projecting their own fears and anxieties) or we develop fears from life experiences, scars, hurts, etc. The alternative is to look at life as an adventure, see risk as an opportunity and lean into the fears.

It’s not too late to recondition.
