This is the best video yet about Sage Wall in Montana. Is it weird geology? Or are we looking at the remnants of a mysterious ancient megalithic site? Important facts and context are provided but ultimately it's left to the viewer to decide: youtu.be/qSQC3mgp3Mc?si=cn1x…

A shout out for my dear old friend of many decades, documentary cameraman Colin Skinner, photographed around the time we first met. Colin was always as brilliant in the kitchen and he was behind the lens. Check out his new cookbook and sample recipes here: austinmacauley.com/book/my-l…
