Hello, I'm Ammon Hatch, and this is a website.

The purpose for this website is neither known, nor set in stone. But suffice it to say, it's basically a glorified blog. A blog where I put up reports about hikes and climbs I do, and where I discuss issues of the day. But, mostly I talk about random things that I happen to be thinking about... and then remember that I have a website.

So, look around. Follow some links. Delve into my archives if you wish. I've got some great photos up in the gallery as well.

Also I would encourage you to make use of my RSS feeds so I can deliver content to you immediately after it is posted. How is THAT for service?

And please take the time to drop me a note as well, either up in the "contact me" link, or by commenting on a post directly. It's always a pleasure to hear from a reader, and I try to respond to all the comments I receive.

I hope you find at least something on here enlightening, or humorous and that your visit is worthwhile.

Signed,
The Management.

I'm in pain. It's not what you think.

For your convenience we've supplied this pre-addressed envelope that won't fit what you're supposed to return to us.

Smooth...



On another note, I haven't given up on that series I was writing. I just.. got Mono.... I'll get around to finishing it.

I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and as most of my readers are as well I will be writing from that prospective. But the fundamentals of what I am writing can and should be applied by all regardless of their religion or lack thereof. These are my opinions though, which I try to back up. Not official church doctrine.

The purpose of today's entry is twofold: To demonstrate what is happening and what is at stake, and then to give the first step to being a part of the solution.

What is happening right now in our country and around the world is fundamentally a war of words and differing philosophies. We have all fought this war before, and we were all once on the same side of it. Though this was a long time ago.

I'm going to have a series of blogs on a similar subject. I hope you find time to read them. They are way more important than the quality of my socks.

Last Christmas I gave my 10 or so of friends something different that they did not expect. They may have been a little disappointed actually.

I gave a them something I find important. Very important. And I knew some of them would not understand, so I included a letter. Here is a copy of that letter:
