New Iceland VideoHey, not a campaign email! I bet you're stoked about that, haha. (But please vote if you haven't!) However you're feeling today, I think you will vote in favor of this video. I finally compiled all of my Iceland drone videos from my 2023 trip into a relaxing 17-minute video that showcases the beauty of Iceland's landscapes. If you need a break from the TV, a moment of Zen, or just enjoy watching nature videos, I think you'll love this. Thanks for watching, and I'd greatly appreciate it if you hit the subscribe button.

There's a lot of new folks here. If you're one of them, getting this for the first or second time, welcome! I'm grateful to have you here. As you've probably noticed, newsletters have been slower this summer. I've been out hiking in the Rockies, spent 5 days on the Oregon Coast (more below), and spent 9 days in Belize as a second honeymoon.
