BA in social psychology I worked with at risk teens and disabled workers. I moved on to jack of all trades home construction. Now I keep 40 honey bee hives, and pursue my Ski Mountaineering, Mountain bike and Hiking dreams with my lady, 48 years together.

NEW: We sent a letter to Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. raising serious concerns with the proposed creation of a national autism "registry." Data collection on autistic people could be ripe for abuse, and the government shouldn’t be shutting disabled people out of the conversation.

Yesterday's top view and a look up last part of the climb. Spring means corn snow in the mountains & flowers in the Valley. Yesterday I did a 'double dip' workout with a 1600' vertical foot ski climb and after, a Mountain bicycle ride through a super bloom. Yellow flowers as far as the eye can see

A picture of a quote tweet response from the Washington state attorney general to a White House post about a new elections executive order. The AG writes, himself, “We are not going to take advice on election integrity from a guy who can’t stop lying about his 2020 election loss. We have a secure and fair election system that respects voters’ rights, and we will use every tool we have to protect that.”

Blocked by this lady here & on X after asking her if she condones Tesla violence. Is the goal of these type of posts to inspire Tesla rage &harass their owners? We are supposed to support American workers not harass a company addressing carbon emissions and perhaps cause those workers to lose a job.

Historically, fascist regimes have used propaganda to target the other into monsters not worthy of empathy, dehumanize opponents, and justify oppression. To counter fascist tactics we have to emphasize our shared humanity and interdependency. I know it's hard, but it's necessary. Don't be a facist.

Calling Musk or the GOP Nazis gives the small number of real Nazis in this country oxygen. It dilutes the historical reality of Nazism. Some of that reality below. My Dad, a combat veteran of WW2 sent this picture home and wrote the inscription on the back. He received two purple hearts.

Some of the lines we climb and ski. Some of those lines I've skied many times, some just once. This is my spiritual place and when going solo I often experience states of bliss. Looking back, I've been climbing & skiing these mountains since 1981 & recall many good times with friends.
