The yard was full of birds yesterday, caught a Northern Flicker rummaging about. The Juncos were all over as well. #Birding #Birds

Both Red Dead Redemption games are my all time faves. The characters, story, and world are all so insanely good and as nerdy as it sounds, they had a huge impact on my life. So to finally meet the voice actors for the two main characters (John & Arthur)?! Cloud 9!!! I’m still smiling about it

Last day in my 20s… what a wild feeling. Time is sure flying by lately and I’m struggling to enjoy it, but it’s a work in progress and I know it’ll get better.

Hit a new milestone in life today, got a “new” truck!! Drove it up from Utah and all I can say is I HATE city driving. White knuckled all the way through SLC 🫣😬

All moved out and in the limbo stage between adventures. It’s been nice to have some downtime though after that chaotic crunch. Also ended up with a nasty sinus infection right in the middle of moving out. Just laying back and watching the storms roll in now, it’s peaceful

DC-10 has flown over a bunch today, along with some of the smaller planes. I think they’re hitting the Weiser Knoll Fire over in Wyoming. Busy day in the skies

Another update for the McPherson fire in Grace. Photos are from the City of Grace’s FB page. #IdahoFire
Screenshot of a Facebook post. 

McPherson Fire Update:

Crews continue working to secure the fire’s edge using direct suppression tactics. This morning, two Large Air Tankers dropped retardant, and the Type 3 helicopter is conducting water drops at the head of the fire. Approximately 75 firefighting personnel are currently assigned and actively engaged.

Weather forecasts continue to call for hot, dry, and windy conditions, which may increase fire activity. Please avoid the area to allow firefighters to work safely and efficiently.

• Fire Size: estimated 225 acres
• Fire Behavior: running, creeping, smoldering
• Cause: Human
• Estimated Containment: 8/9 - 1800
• Estimated Control: 8/11 - 1800

Update on the McPherson Fire over by Grace. #IdahoFire

The fire is estimated at 225 acres and is running, creeping, and smoldering with structures threatened, per the Eastern Idaho Interagency Fire Center. Ground resources are working their way around the fire with support from aircraft. Red Flag weather conditions will most likely continue into Monday with low relative humidities and gusty winds adding complexity to containment.
• Estimated Containment: 8/9 - 1800
• Estimated Control: 8/11 - 1800
• Resources on Scene: 4 engines, 2 dozer, 1 Air Attack, 1 Helicopter, Heavy Air Tankers and Overhead.
• More resources are on order to aid in containment of the McPherson
Fire.

I thought this group might be interested in some of the politics behind the scenes faced by wildland firefighters. The texts are from an individual working on the Tartar Fire outside of Weiser, ID. This is nothing new and causes some serious friction when public lands meet private lands. #IdahoFire

Senators warn wildfire prediction markets could spur arson for profit
Oregon's senators are demanding the CFTC crack down on prediction markets that let people bet on wildfires — warning the practice could tempt gamblers to start fires themselves to win their bets.

3 planes just left the base here, I’m assuming, from watching on radar, they’re headed towards the Bare Fire over in Wyoming. I really love watching and hearing the aircraft fly over, hate the reason though.

All these fires made me realize I need a handy checklist of things to grab during an evacuation warning. And a go bag. Even though we aren’t right at the edge of the foothills, our house or a neighbor’s might catch fire, even in winter. www.state.gov/global-commu...
