After Colbert goes dark, CBS will only have my attention during football season. I've weaned myself off the sitcoms, dramas and news programing that I've been faithfully watching for years.

Morning friends. There are still those amongst us that need to wake up.

Me, going to the secret berry and wild mushroom places:

If I ever tagged along to help harvest, I would fully expect to be blindfolded, stuffed in a corn sack and put on the floorboards.

I don't know about any of you, but my money is on AOC

I will be alerting my brother to this change. I have an idea where they pick. Much like morel harvesting, folks that go back to the same place for huckleberries are very protective of the location.

And that is a huge concern. It may take the general public grabbing the reigns and running them off the mountain. Commercial pickers don't exactly "blend in" with the tribes and responsible recreational harvesters like my brother and his wife.

Gifford Pinchot National Forest : Press Release - Gifford Pinchot National Forest Announces No Commercial Huckleberry Harvest in 2026 Vancouver, Wash., (April 21, 2026) — The U.S.

Some good news! Hopefully the ban is made permanent.

Commercial huckleberry pickers are an absolute menace. They damage the plants, leave trash, and leave nothing behind for tribes, wildlife, or the general public.

I sincerely HOPE there will be monitoring AND enforcement of fines for illegal commercial picking because we all know it WILL happen.

Let’s recap: the SAVE America Act would require states like Nevada to turn over voters’ data to Trump’s DHS. Then, the Trump Admin. gets to decide who they want states to remove from the voter rolls.

Thank you so much.❤️ It all went so fast at the end. It was over 2 weeks to the day she went to Memorial for the last time and my final reality check. Meeting at the funeral home tomorrow with my brother. Today I'm catching up with everything that went by the wayside these last two weeks.

My poor kids have been so confused since Easter when mom's decline started. I was gone so much. They are spoiled when I'm around all the time. They all knew something was happening too. Big energy shift so they have been smothering me with attention if I sit still too long.

She took care of her funeral plans a long time ago, so that's not a worry. I'll call hospice tomorrow for myself. They have been really wonderful during her last days. She was very comfortable to the end.

I think it's the feeling of having uprooted my life 8 years ago to move home to take care of her. It did NOT play out at all like I thought. Now my job is over. I'm feeling adrift in the moment. I'll head home in a bit and get my confused pets settled for the night.

"I thought I was a doctor."

Thank you. I'm sitting here with her. No idea what to do next.

Thank you. I appreciate it 🙏

Mom passed away tonight at 10:43 pm. She's no longer in pain. She's no longer suffering. She is reunited with my brother and her parents.

Thanks @mariner⚾️🔱💙💚

One of them is. They other one...I'll just say I'm very disappointed. Not mad, but sad that he ultimately made the choices that has over the past few days.

Mom will very likely transition today or tomorrow. I'm with her and we are listening to her beloved @mariners.com on my phone. Go get that win, boys. Send mom out on a high note! #GoMariners

Myself, my brother and sister in law did NOT watch or listen to the Mariners game yesterday. And my SIL and I were geared up. The guys got the win without us. You're welcome, Mariners fans!!!

I've been a huge ⚾️ fan since I was a kid in the 70's. This is pretty cool!

Frank would be sooooooooo pissed.

And the members of his parish cheered!

I agree with you. This is a medical event. The idiot in chief assumes anybody displaying this type of behavior is automatically a sloppy, slurring drunk.

Holy crap!!!

I think this is very good advice.
