💯 IMO he’s just a cult figure place holder for them to get their agenda passed. He creates the chaos that is needed to distract the public. Although I’ll be happy when he’s 🪦☠️

I go down to the shore in the morning and depending on the hour the waves are rolling in or moving out, and I say, oh, I am miserable, what shall— what should I do? And the sea says in its lovely voice: Excuse me, I have work to do.” ― Mary Oliver

Hurricane Polo is out there, but a comfortable distance away.

Last night on the Sea of Cortez. Not the best iPhone photo, but it does capture a bit of the moonlight magic.

They’re back! A bit late this year, but their numbers seem to be increasing with each night.

Phew! El Niño has been doing it’s thing in Tucson. We had close to 3 inches of rain last night alone, with multiple swift water rescues by the FD in flooded washes. The relief from the heat is very welcome. The mosquitoes, not so much.

Visited the Redwoods when I was a kid, probably 1972 or so? I remember driving through the tree...and a little shop actually built into a tree. I'd love to visit as an adult, tho. What is Eureka like? Decent town, or iffy?

Agreed. But they can't even pay their employees a living wage, so they certainly won't be willing to assist for this.

The Nature Conservancy has done an amazing job of reintroducing the endangered Chiricahua Leopard frog into these ponds in Ramsey Canyon. They are thriving! Sound up for frogs songs!

I’m enjoying the invisibility after dodging creeps for decades. But honestly, I do the bird calls in my yard too, while talking and naming them all. Embracing my weirdo (neurodivergence) in the stage of my life is a blast.

Truly exhausting. And we all knew it was coming. I suspect it will get worse. We will be physically dropping our ballets off this year.

Do you have any bodies of water nearby that they would be hanging out at, or just fly overs?

He was concerned, but he’s used to me picking things up, lol. He is not a fan of snakes, but has a weirdly large knowledge base of them. He proceeded to tell me that Corals are related to mambas and cobras 😳

I thought it was a baby king snake that had ended up in our house somehow. As I’m holding him my husband is repeating the phrase “Red and yellow kill a fellow…”. Whoops.

Thank you for this recommendation. I’m rewatching Steel Magnolias tonight. County music isn’t my favorite genre, but I do appreciate the older music. Dolly was a light that made this world a better place.
