Visited the @issaquahsalmonhatchery today to see how the salmon were doing. Many are swimming up the creek right now and flopping over the salmon ladder. It’s prime salmon viewing right now.

After some calculations... I need to get my divorce filed ASAP to save myself from Tax Hell next year and possibly grant me the freedom to get health insurance. The filing fee for a no-contest divorce in Oregon is $301 👀 I get a divorce, you get neat art, win-win?? ripley-lacross.square.site

The "TRADE OFFER" meme.

YOU RECEIVE: pretty art of rocks, trees, and mountains.
I RECEIVE: financial independence and maybe even health insurance via divorce.

THIS WEEK: Keep it down or I'll frown. Maintaining a low volume while outdoors not only respects everyone else's experience, it also ensures that the natural behavior of wildlife goes undisrupted. You are a visitor in their home, act like it! #comic #hiking #backpacking

Comic.
TRAIL ETIQUETTE
COOL: Keeping music and chatter to a low, respectful level.
Illustration: A bird's eye view of a trail snaking through shrubs and trees. A pair of hikers in the distance hold a quiet conversation, a birder observes a hawk in a tree, and a jogger enjoys the solace of nature,

UNCOOL: Projecting all of your thoughts--to the tune of your poor taste in music--for the entire trail system to hear.
Illustration: The couple in the back jams to loud music, while one of them shouts at their partner: "OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS SONG! ANYWAY, THEN I SAID, 'WHAT DO YOU MEAN AVOCADO IS EXTRA? IS THIS THE GUAC-STOP OR NOT?'" The birder slumps and looks over their shoulder at them with a grumble, while the hawk--startled by the loud noise--poops, and the poo lands on the jogger down below.

"Many wildlife species rely on natural sounds for communication purposes, and disrupting thoise sounds can hurt their chances of survival" -- US National Park Service, www.nps.gov

Happy 154th birthday to Mercy Lena Brown, the “last American vampire.” Her memory has been cemented into American folklore after the New England vampire panic, becoming a gothic muse of urban legend and horror fiction.
