Not an oak, is it a tree? This is not how you want to prune your sycamore tree. They are the drama queens of the tree world & this one will most likely come back if there aren’t beetles

Another Quercus lobata 🙄. This one comes with a nice bench & is next to what looks like a natural stream but is really a ramped up seasonal creek for flood control. 6’ wall for size reference. California #nativePlants #nature

The major winter storm and cold outbreak in the central & eastern U.S. this weekend will be most notable not for record cold, nor heavy snowfall, but instead for very heavy ice accumulations that will cause widespread/severe electrical infrastructure and travel disruptions.

Another old Quercus lobata (valley oak) The old guy has heart rot which could be an issue in an area w people but here he can slowly drop limbs and continue to be the best. There’s a metal cutout of a crow on his branches if you’re paying attention. California #nativePlants #nature

Can someone on the ground near a detainment camp start a volunteer transport network? People could sign up to drive refugees home, one leg of the trip at a time. Animal rescues have moved dogs cross-country this way for years.
Yesterday, I drove refugees that had been shipped off to Texas all the way back home to St. Paul
Seeing them reunite with their families reminded me this is their home.
So keep sending them to Texas. I’ll keep driving ‘em back and introducing them to Bucc-ee’s and KC barbecue along the way.

A record warm & record wet start to rainy season in parts of California: What's the bigger picture?
The October through December 2025 period was record warm across much of California, and also record wet in central and southern parts of the state.

This is one of those times when a journalist writes "casting doubt on" instead of just saying outright that a politician is failing to do the thing they promised to do. Happens all the time for no particularly good reason.
