Dear Apple Health : no shit my blood oxygen levels have been low for a week. That would be the last time I was less than a mile above normal.

Helluva view for doing laundry.

Goob mornig!

This is the look of a dog who doesn’t appreciate me telling her what I’m making myself for dinner.

AFAICT, opening up places like Superior NF to mining actually is critical to enable rapid electrification while maintaining the ongoing increase in energy consumption.

And it fucking sucks that nobody objects to the second half of that.

This is single handedly the funniest scene from any Star Trek

Mila flopped on her side, devoid of dignity

When dad made you go on a walk and now you’re just soooo tired

A dry brown landscape. Smallish shrubs in the front, then a valley full of dry grass. In the back are tree-covered hills

A screenshot from the CalTopo app. The location and direction arrow indicates that the user is currently standing about 100m from a sizable body of water.

I’ve been intellectually aware of how bad the water situation in the southwest is, but damn.

Dear cellular providers (and others where this is relevant): if collecting the customer’s email address is critical, please let them type it in themselves instead of hoping your salesperson can get it right.

A vault toilet with stone block walls and a green roof. There are two exhaust pipes, indicating that there are two attached toilets. This one has a painted wood sign that just reads “men”

What kind of degenerate thinks outhouses need to be gendered? This is the third time I’ve seen this in New Mexico, twice in state parks and one national.

A green bag with an orange zipper, sitting on a picnic table. The bag contains the folded up tent that came in it.

Is there some sort of Nobel Prize for this?

A sign from the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish headlined “Be Cougar Smart” with instructions on what to do in case of a cougar encounter.

Not worried, I’m way too old for them.

Iodine bush and salt cedar under a gray sky. There’s a boardwalk along the right side.

If you ever want to kidnap me, just put up a sign for a boardwalk through a swamp.

Mad props to whoever bought the “God Made Trans People” billboard on I-335 just south of Topeka, btw.

Do campground designers think that tent campers are all looking for a resortish experience where they become besties with their neighbors from the lack of privacy?

Mila (a large black and white dog with a pink collar) is in sphinx position on a concrete slab, there are some RVs around and the clouds form a distinct line in the background beyond the hills.

When you’re stuck “inside” once again because it started raining before dad could even start to set anything up.

Thank you, New Mexico, for being the third state where a thunderstorm kicked off as soon as I parked.

When you’re a nice dog who just wants some tacos.

There was definitely a lake on the park map.

In the current case, my dog is probably doing a better job than I could.

How do I convince my 78-yo mother that she doesn’t _need_ a man full-time?

Has anyone checked if there is a Trump statue up at the Necedah Shrine yet? Does he get to be a 13th Station? Or just in with Washington and Lincoln?

Mila, a large black and white dog, sitting on a picnic table. Behind her is a stand of oak trees, some of which still have dead leaves from last year.

When you don’t have a house to stand on so you make do.

This entirely empty campground is very thoroughly guarded.

Any day of the week, yeah.

I had 24 hours of 35 and raining here. I don’t think I’ll ever be warm again.

She doesn’t seem sold on campfires.

I’m spending the month of April traveling and living in a tent with my dog. So I’ll probably mostly just post dog photos if that’s ok? I think people like dogs.

Iran just reportedly hit an Oracle data center in Dubai and i can't stop thinking about how good it would feel to see my tax dollars spent firing Tomahawk cruise missiles at data centers.

A black and white dog laying on a buffalo plaid dog bed (in the largest size that Fleet Farm carries). Her head is hanging off the end of the bed. She’s also wearing a hot pink and purple collar because that’s how we roll.

When everyone says you’re pretty and sweet but they still won’t let you chase deer.
