Oh-Dark-Hundred Musings

Speed-Dating My Way Through Idaho

The full moon outside my window at who-cares-what-time on Thursday morning.I amuse myself with the title of this post. Oh-Dark-Hundred is a military term, says the Internet, for being awake at some supposedly God-forsaken and unspecified time after midnight but before dawn.

Most of the people in this part of the world were sleeping when I started writing this, but there was way too much beauty illuminated by the full moon outside my window to go back to bed. So I started thinking. Thinking led to writing. And here I am.

I’m in the midst of an October lightning round of a speed dating-like series of work trips around the state. I’m getting acquainted with the people and places where member organizations of the Idaho Coalition of Land Trusts operate.
