I recently visited Converse Basin Grove in Sequoia National Forest. A little over a century ago, a lumber company cut down roughly 8,000 giant sequoias here, nearly wiping out one of the greatest sequoia groves on Earth. What remains today? californiacurated.substack.com/p/giants-fal...

Giants Fallen: The Destruction of Converse Basin in California

Watch now | How greed, fraud and staggering waste led to the destruction of 8,000 giant sequoias in one of America’s worst environmental crimes.

A tree and fence against a hazy sky #Photography #BlueskyArtShow #Minimal #BoulderColorado

A high key black and white photo of a lone juniper tree on a sloping grassy hill against a white hazy sky. There is a dilapidated gate in a collapsed barbed wire fence in front of the tree. The tree seems very small against a vast, slightly otherworldly blank sky.

Do these agencies have a responsibility to issue recalls of contaminated food? Yes, these agencies have a responsibility to issue recalls of contaminated food. But more than that these agencies have a responsibility to prevent these recalls from ever being necessary.

Younger book "But I like it here!"
Older book "All things must pass. The beach reads table you knew is already gone. The time of autumn books is upon us."

Younger book "Will we ever return?"
Older book "The cycle is eternal: the Christmas bestsellers and prize nominees will come and go, but people will always want something nice to read on holiday."
