The geese were active fighting for territory and mates today.

I stopped by the Chinden Blvd osprey nest today. One adult flew out of the nest and perched across the street. The other adult flew in and joined them on the perch.

Thought for the day.
Beware: It’s easy to lose yourself while constantly trying to keep everyone else happy.

You know, there's a certain irony to a president who is a convicted felon wanting to send criminals to a prison camp in El Salvador.

Trump Brags About How Tariff Pause Made His Friends Even Richer Donald Trump’s decision to pause his tariffs sent the stock market soaring.

It's kleptomania.

It's the same strongman tactics as the law firms that he went after and the media outlets he went after.

Who Pays Tariffs? I Do. YouTube video by Fstoppers

Who pays tariffs?
Interesting video in the comments by someone who has a small business and he explains how he pays tariffs and why it is still cheaper for him to have things made in China.

trump cricized Obama for golfing too much, but he was golfing this week, instead of observing the arrival of US troops who died in Lithuania.

Just a reminder.

As proof that trump knows so little about the American economy, he suggested buying American made cars. There is no car made in America that doesn't contain imported parts. That's just how the global economy works. It's all interconnected.

Got a ride up 8th Street extension (aka Sunset Peak Road) and found the owl nest (I think it's a Great Horned Owl, but she kept her back to me) and a Great Blue Heron was in pond below.

I've left messages for my senators asking them why they are letting the executive branch take over their Constitutional responsibilities.

Last summer was possibly the worst fire season for Boise. It felt like we had smoke in the air from early June through the end of September. I'm concerned that with cuts to the forest service that this summer will be even worse.

In the book Monkey Wrench Gang, Edward Abbey describes sabatage against companies that were exploiting natural resources in Southern Utah. Disabling machinery, etc. I think we might need to do some civil disobedience if they go after national parks.

Wildlife Wednesday. Great Horned Owl, Boise, Idaho.

Wow! What an incredible display of ignorance of world history.

I'm trying to move to Blue Sky, as a replacement for Facebook, but I guess it's really a replacement for Twitter, which I never used. I can't get used to the 300 character limit.

I just found a fun anachronism. At the beginning of the movie Dances With Wolves, Kevin Costner's character walks up to another soldier, behind a fence. Next to that soldier is an apple.

The apple has a grocery store sticker on it.

Someone in the props department needs to be fired.

I think it is clear that trump admires putin. So, maybe trump wants to annex Canada because putin is trying to annex Ukraine (and has already annexed parts of it).

(I actually think the idea of annexing Canada is ludicris and only shows how little trump knows about Canada.)

Dodgers spring training in AZ with my son.

Did you take those? Wonderful!

Nice images

Governor Brad Little hates public schools, no matter what lies he tells in press confernces.

Good news, he has less than two years left in his term -- vote him OUT in November 2026!!

But Trump left that out of his press conference.

Well, since he’s always wrong, that’s good news??

I’m going to start on Wednesday.
