I, Bernie Harberts, did not use generative AI to write or illustrate this article. Spell check and grammar check, yes. AI, no.

  • My heart is smiling reading/seeing that you are still a rambling. I continue to receive warmth from the fumes of our down east adventure.

    • Morgan! Holy smoke it’s great hearing from you.
      True story. Tonight I was treated to a reception here in Idaho celebrating the end of my mule ramble. I ran in to a lady who saw – and loved – the UNC_TV Mule Rider adventure. Then it was rain. Now it was snow.
      Very cool to know that those fumes continue to warm you and those who continue enjoying your work.
      Hope you’re well.
      Big howdy to all.
      Happy Adventuring.
      Bernie

    Did he mess up your googles, too?
