I'm in the middle of reading Big Bad Wool (A sheep detective mystery) by Leonie Swann... it is hysterical, btw. And yesterday on my walk, I found a new flock of sheep.

I couldn't help but wonder what some of them were thinking 🤔 #Ilovesheep

A brown/black sheep with head lowered staring at the photographer (me) with a white sheep standing behind, head up, staring at me with a piece of hay in her mouth.

While Mike Lee and Steve Daines' Senate Natural Resources Committee amendment to the budget reconciliation package mandates the sale of up to 3.3 million acres of public land, what most people miss is that it also authorizes the sale of 258 million acres. That's 40 percent of all public land:

Lee, Daines Up Public Land Sell Off To 258 Million Acres

The Senate's budget reconciliation package includes provision to sell off 40 percent of all public land
