Fuzzy phone cam photo, but a Steller's Jay at feeder. Common in the area mtns, but rare along river. So, in past 3 days, arrival of Townsend's Solitaires which will spend the winter, a Mtn Chickadee, now a Steller's Jay. Interested to see which is best predictor of winter: NWS or the birds? 🤔

Different (opposite?) part of the state, but we've been having such unusual activity for this time of the year at our birdbaths for the last 3-4 weeks! I've been worried about it being too dry, but fingers crossed maybe a real winter is on the way! 🥰

Trump told Canada to FUCK OFF! PM Carney said "Okay!" and has been building new markets at WARP SPEED, now expanding its economic footprint across the Indo-Pacific! The scale of opportunity is enormous. It will double Canada’s preferential access to global consumers, from 1.5 billion to 3 billion.

Just had a Mtn Chickadee come in. The only time we've had mtns show at our river altitude is during some really harsh winters. Black-capped are residents here, while the Mtn species is up in area mtns. Townsend's Solitaires are arriving, as well. Maybe too dry up hi or a real winter on the way?🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s fair to say that a majority of rural counties have county commissioners who are directly involved in real estate sales and development. They are typically corrupt but they are loved by their constituents for “letting people decide how they can use their own land”. They have destroyed the West

Near middle of river in each of these photos, can see the circular ripples in the water, left after a trout rose to claim it's dinner. There was a hatch of mayflies occurring.

Dana Bash explicitly challenged Mullin using DHS’s own data. For example, CNN reported that DHS’s Nevada figure went from a claim of more than 15,000 noncitizens on the rolls to 185. When the facts from your own department contradict the claim, attacking the facts doesn’t make the claim true.
Bash : DHS data does not back up the claim of widespread non-citizen voter fraud.
Mullin : What you have is wrong.
Bash : It's your own data.

Democrats are up double digits on the generic ballot. Republicans are breaking with Trump over taxpayer-funded ads. And a GOP senator accused Jack Smith of perjury, only to realize he had confused two basketball teams. If this is what the final stretch looks like, November cannot come soon enough.

Democrats rise as Trump and Vance campaign in GOP strongholds. Trump sparks Republican backlash. GOP Senator's gotcha attempt backfires hard.

Evening light. In a week, I get the sprinkler system blown out. And, the septic system pumped, no problems, just preventative maintenance every 5-6 yrs. 1 or 2 more lawn mowings for season. One more vehicle to service before Winter. And, need a load of firewood. Then, we just need snow this year!

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: A federal judge just HALTED the destruction of Big Bend. This is a massive victory for the landowners, local communities, and everyday Texans who stood up to protect one of our state's greatest treasures. The fight isn't over, but today, the people won.
Graphic from the Center for Biological Diversity over a scenic view of Big Bend. Large text reads, “MASSIVE WIN FOR BIG BEND.” Below, it says a federal judge has frozen all destruction throughout the Big Bend region until the project’s legality can be determined in court. The graphic adds that the Center will continue fighting to save Big Bend and asks supporters to join them.

UT-Austin opened its doors 143 years ago today, on Sept. 15, 1883. Depending on one's point of view, the state of Texas was saved from a state of woeful ignorance or the paving of the road to hell started on that date. Shown here: the oldest known photo of UT-Austin, from 1883.

Helped neighbor fishing with his grandkids, all 3 landed & released at least 1. Lol!, indeed it was herding cats, esp the 5 y/o! Then, to country store for milk & feed store for seed. Both were low inventory! Asked about it & was told at both places, with diesel prices, deliveries are fewer now!
