Off The Grid (3) — Access Denied

We’re past the midpoint of October, with just 2 weeks left in the month. We are left with just 10 complete weeks on the calendar until 2022. It’s probably too early to start talking about next year because a lot can happen in the days between now and the new year. However, I already feel …
