Mehhhhbleeeh

The birds & trails were the best part. It will be fantastic in a few years. Most folks had their dogs off leash. The terrain is nice because we could see others coming toward us & leash our poodle who sometimes acts dumb (growly). A lot of equestrian traffic too.

Good thing its the “safe” time of year for desert doodles feet, before the cheatgrass seeds get sharp 😱 we’re enjoying it while we can

They seem to spread easily, i have some neighbors who have grape hyacinths all thru their lawn.

And all the recent rain created huge ponds, some even inundating the asphalt walking paths. Park hosts told us hydroseeding was going to happen soon. They were burning and spraying toxins on weeds the entire time we were there. Giant vats of poison spraying right along waterways & trails :(

A gold 1957 Airfloat trailer with the awning up and chairs underneath. A folding solar panel rests on the asphalt behind the trailer and a red truck sits in front.

A more distant view of the Airfloat showing another empty campsite and a large pond from recent rain that does not belong there. Large expanse of bare dirt with scrawny trees staked up occasionally.

An osprey rests in a small pond.

Great blue herons were hunting the fields surrounding the campground

Well the Eagle Island SP in Eagle, ID was fine for one night to dewinterize the camper but I can’t say I recommend it for a camping experience until a few years have passed. Its brand new, trees are small and the sun just bakes that bare dirt & asphalt. They did not grade appropriately for drainage…

I predict a! is so incompetent that we hire MORE humans to fix all the problems it created.

How a Gambling Warrant Could Change Immigration Enforcement Authority A warrant for five people led to 400 people being detained at a community event. Now the operation is at the center of a novel ACLU lawsuit.

Last October, ICE used a warrant, obtained to arrest five individuals for allegedly gambling without a license, to detain 400 predominantly Latino adults and children at a racetrack in Idaho. Gigi Liman explains the ACLU's novel suit challenging the action under 2 Reconstruction-era statutes.

Wow so interesting and beautiful! Will you use it like a journal / for writing or for drawing / sketching?

It has a broiler. 🙃 i restored it and love to use it, my thermostat for the oven is a bit off but i can compensate.

Yeah everything gets wrapped & boxed, this is the “display at a rally” look that we do maybe twice a year. Normal camping is much less breakables but still the process of bungeeing everything shut takes a while.

Yeah the Dixie stove & matching GE fridge in the rose gold color from the 50s. Fridge is aqua inside 100% complete didnt need anything, just clean & plug in. Stove got a deep restoration.

The tub has the original hardboard surround that is just …so hideous and great at the same time. Yellow with abstract brown accents

Pecan mahogany, thats a china hutch / desk / expanding table beside tge click clack couch. Original appliances, bathroom with a full size cast iron pink tub … a teensy bit extravagant 😂

A 30’ long gold vintage camper from 1957 sits in an empty campground behind a red truck. Its egg shaped in the front and back with porthole windows.

Whee going out camping with the 1957 Airfloat, all the way to EAGLE from Boise lol. Come say hi if you see this gold beast.

Almost the entire Western United States is averaging more than 5°F warmer than the most recent 1991-2020 climate baseline so far in 2026, which is truly remarkable. Off the color scale here!

What the hell IS this?? I am just still utterly astonished by the incompetence.

I think the clock is ticking on Kash Patel’s tenure as J. Edgar Boozer.

Oh an BTW. To all you “conservative” Trump-loving hacks at the FBI? You can go absolutely fuck yourselves with a tent pole.

👀👀👀

“Patel’s drinking has been a recurring source of concern across the government. They said that he is known to drink to the point of obvious intoxication….On multiple occasions in the past year, members of his security detail had difficulty waking Patel because he was seemingly intoxicated…”

Let’s move onto Healthcare. In the U.S., healthcare is largely tied to employment and private insurance. If you lose your job, you often lose your health coverage.

I’m sorry he got so blackout drunk they had to ask for SWAT door busting equipment?!

Longtime rancher and rodeo-pickup rider Charley Hahnkamp was resting on the couch near Glen when the earthquake struck. His wife, Joyce, had already gone to bed. When the ground began to move, Hahnkamp said his wife came storming out of the bedroom. "She came out and gave me hell," he said. "She wanted to know what I was doing. She somehow thought this was my fault. It did shake pretty good around here.... It is kind of funny now. She didn't know what was going on, but she was sure that it was my fault."

I often reflect on the deep truth about relationships that this southwest Montana rancher captured when he described his interaction with his wife following an earthquake.

Wut

Photograph of several gannets diving into the sea off the coast of the Isle of Skye, Scotland. They are in different stages of sweeping back their wings before entering the water, with one having already gone in and a splash of water marking where it went in.

I caught the different stages in one photo!

This is fucked up.

These people should be in the U.S.

I don't care if they used legal means.

People don't emigrate and immigrate illegally unless it's better than whatever they came from.

Sending them to a 3rd country they have NEVER BEEN TO that is halfway across the damn wolrd...FUCK THE GOP

Idaho elected official accused of stabbing girl in attack along Payette River The man and several others allegedly fought with and threatened to kill members of an Ada County family who were rafting near Horseshoe Bend.

Also, out the BSU reporting (I’ve put a link in comments). Another link is to a separate report that Lloyd Asher, if it’s the same Lloyd Asher, was previously arrested for impersonating a police officer back in 2012 (along with a minor not named). Interesting.
