The Evolution of This Blog
By Michelle Mather Over 6 years ago (on November 14, 2006 to be exact) we began writing a blog and posting it on our aztext.com website. We had been told that one way to increase traffic to our website and improve our chances of being found by search engines was to post regularly, which also …
Mad Max Mountain Man
By Cam Mather Did you like that “alliteration?” Four “M’s” in a row! I wrote about seeing the movie “Chasing Ice” recently. I said that it is a powerful movie and it is. In fact it is changing my behavior. We didn’t get any snow here until December 21st. For the first 3 weeks of …
Winter Solstice at Sunflower Farm

Chasing Ice vs. Hurricane Sandy
By Cam Mather You need to see the documentary called “Chasing Ice.” No really. You NEED to see it! This could be a life changing investment of your time. http://www.chasingice.com The movie follows the Extreme Ice Survey team as they catalog disappearing glaciers, and it’s terrifying and beautiful all at the same time. If you …
Christmas “Creep”
By Cam Mather Back when I lived in suburbia I drank coffee from a chain of Canadian donut stores called “Tim Horton’s,” named after the hockey player who started them. They’re in the U.S. now but they’re called “Tim Horton’s Café and Bake Shop.” Well “La de da!” Even all those years ago (15 or …
