It took me three hours to get up to that table and two hours to get back to my car. On my way down, I met a man coming up with a backpack 2/3 of the way up it had taken him less than an hour to get that far. I have some physical disabilities and this was quite the stunt. It will take days to recover

Henry Coe State Park, hunter’s hollow entrance. Picnic table at Steer Ridge Road junction with Jim Donnelly trail, standing on Steer Ridge Road looking south. Oak trees along a rocky outcrop resembling a wall, heavily shade, a picnic table and two benches on a gently curved hilltop with late spring green gold grass under a blue sky. haze-blued hills form the horizon

So I just crafted a post with four images with really extensive alt text and it didn’t upload and it all got lost. I just don’t have it in me to do that again.

As a non-American, it's so refreshing to see Mamdani. Taxing the rich people's penthouses, setting up non-profit grocery stores and spreading his philosophy with a smile.

There is hope, America.

Henry Coe State Park, hunter’s hollow entrance. Jim Donnelly trail looking south over a cow pond. Goldish-green late spring grass in the foreground, a stock pond flanked by mixed oak hills. A horizontal line of oak forested hills beyond. Blued in the distance is another line of hills south of San Juan Bautista, and a very distant grey line of hills that to the left, is beyond the Salinas valley, but to the right is beyond Monterey Bay

Colorful lichens adorn rough boulders rising from green-gold late spring grass on a deceptively gentle-looking slope in the foreground. Steep, shadowed grass hills rise beyond, and blueish distant hills are visible in the gap. Henry Coe State Park, hunter’s hollow entrance. Jim Donnelly trail looking south.

Henry Coe State Park, hunter’s hollow entrance. Picnic table at Steer Ridge Road junction with Jim Donnelly trail, standing on Steer Ridge Road looking south. Oak trees darkly shade a wooden picnic table and a couple of benches along a natural rocky outcrop surrounded by late spring green gold grass on a gently sloping hilltop with the crests of distant hills on the horizon. The Jim Donnelly trail (my route) has a fairly consistent 4% grade and is a purpose built trail for hiking. By contrast steer Ridge Road was an old rancher’s road built for trucks, and should probably be rated with the Yosemite climbing scale for steepness.

Spring grasses slope down into a bowl beyond which is the deep dark stream canyon of coyote creek, under a partly cloudy sky. All the land you see in this view is part of the park, which is the second largest State Park in California

I took some pics. Also flicked about a dozen ticks off my pants. Might not ever try that trail again unless my health improves.
People with disabilities can sometimes pull stunts like this on a good body day when they’re really motivated, but then we pay for it with days and days of recovery after.

I took a huge reach hike yesterday, that I’m recovering from.
5 hours—3 uphill, 2 downhill.
On the way down, I encountered a 20-something year old man who was hiking up with a backpack.
It had taken him less than an hour to get 2/3 of the way to where I turned around. 😳🤣

Wishing the wizard was his real and would invite me for dinner

THIS IS IMPORTANT! This is another power grab by Uber and Lyft !! Stop them! If their drivers or driverless cars kill or maim, they will get off for pennies because attorneys will not be able to fight them!!

Or alt text, apparently

Those are the real Americans, representing real America

This is the kind of leadership America should have. I’m disgusted every day seeing the treasonous criminal filth that infests the US govt today.

I am sympathetic to the argument that enabling voluntary screening (this is Alberta we're talking about) will have all kinds of negative effects (inequity and system strain chief among them).

But the path that public health twitter is taking - basically, it's better to miss real cases because...

A petroglyph panel with images pecked through dark grey “desert varnish” to expose the underlying orange color of the sandstone. From top left to right, a small elk below a human or possibly bear footprint, a rather wide anthropomorphic form with two capital T-shaped protrusions from the head, the arm and 5 fingered hand from a glyph off the image edge. Left edge again, back half of a horse that is off the edge of the photo, a mounted person with a bow and an artow in flight to the right toward an elk. Smaller and below the elk is another animal possibly a wild sheep. To the right of the sheep is a four-toed foot posdibly bear or human, the top half if two similar feet poke up from the bottom edge of the frame. This art must date from after the Spanish re-introduced horses to the Americas, so probably < 400 years old. Note the human-like figure with the T “horns” resembles the hairstyle of the young lady in the photo.

Case in point

You know, all those mysterious cave art with lines coming out of what it looked like human heads must mean that space aliens came to ancient Utah, right?they couldn’t be hairstyles or braids…

Unlikely the earth saying “Drill Baby, Drill.”

Ohio River sunset today at Newburgh Indiana 💛🧡❤️🩷💜

Great Question, Winona.......

California—if you do your own due diligence, you will see this is the man we need to elect as our next governor!

Their flight patterns, resemble bees, not locus

Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.

View of the living area in the tiny house on a sunny afternoon. There's a couch and coffee table, a bookshelf on the right, French front doors on the left, and a storage loft above. The ceilings and trim are all richly stained wood--decidedly cabin vibes.

View of the opposite end of the tiny house, including the dining bar, kitchen area, bathroom, and stairs to the sleeping loft. Again, very cabin-y. A full-size washer and dryer are visible in the bathroom.

View from the stairs of the sleeping loft. There's a queen size bed (pictured), and decent storage for clothes (not pictured).

Exterior view of the tiny house! It has metal skirting and steps, both included in the sale. Overall it's light gray with white trim and a dark gray roof, with lots of windows. The adorable twee cabin vibes continue.

Hey folks! I'm selling my tiny house, it's all prepped and ready for someone new to love it as much as I did.

If you're interested, please reach out, I'll leave DMs open for a while! Happy to answer any questions, and I've got a more detailed sales flyer I can share upon request.

Pay attention folks. This is how it's done. Trump sues his own DOJ, run by his private attorney, for $10 billion. Normally that would go through the courts with the DOJ arguing AGAINST giving Trump $10 billion.

Instead, his DOJ will negotiate a settlement OUTSIDE of court. Literally inside dealing.

Grief

The Democratic party are moving to refuse money from AIPAC.
It's about time.

They haven’t stopped raping children just because you know about it now.

But still, all these hidden hideouts are being discovered with Google Earth so I guess in the modern age they wouldn’t be very good hiding places.

I have been binge watching a little expedition shows with guys going off into the desert southwest looking at the ruins of past Native American habitation. I’m given the state of the world. I’m kind of wondering if we’re gonna need to be copying all their hiding in the mountains.

If this happened at my kids school and I asked how his day was he’d just say “good. I played with my friends.”

We live in a country where the two most dynamic, charismatic, eloquent politicians of this century have the first names Barack and Zohran. This is what bothers the white supremacists so much.

When I was a kid, there were a lot of old people who remembered that quake
