Day 49 Mile 669-681

Woke up to lots of families and kids fishing in Loving Stream. Jarek had come over with his fishing pole and him and I went over to the hatchery to look at all the beautiful trout. They had these big cisterns full of all different ages of trouts and different kinds too. The Rainbow trout just sparkled as the sun shone on them. Jarek found a great spot to try some fishing and we could se many trout swimming in the shallow area that he chose to fish. Before I headed out again, I had some warm biscuits with Joe, Vicky and Jarek. Thank you kindly for hospitality:-) I had lunch at the store in Peekaboo before heading on the rest of the way to Carey. In Carey I had salad and fries at the Watering Hole restaurant and visited with Catherine. She has a four year old daughter named Tatum and came back to Idaho after living in Salt Lake to be near family and raise her child in a good community. We talked about how people medicate their children these days and she is just like “they’re kids! there supposed to act like that. let kids grow in their own way”. Catherine says she wants to raise here kid all natural... Tatum is a lucky girl to have a mom thats so on to it;-)

Hey Alborz,
About the medication of children,
I had an interesting conversation with a guy I meant on a painting job once.
He told me how he was always getting in trouble as a kid and couldn't learn because he couldn't focus.
He said that when he was able to get the proper balance of medication it was like a light came on and he understood things.
He said that the popular line to take was that parents are always medicating kids for normal behavior, but he said that wasn't his experience. His perspective was that parents aren't doing kids any favors by ignoring chemical imbalances and explaining them away as "kid behavior." The parents may feel better, but it is at the expense of the kid's development.
Take care,
