I spent NYE with @photojdl.bsky.social in Skagit county spotting owls. This was a first for me, but there were dozens of veteran spotters there. I stupidly forgot my longer lens so all my stuff is super cropped. The close up photo was with JDL’s 600mm prime 😮

2025 was among the worst for us but there were some highlights. This is my favorite photo from the year. My grandkids went in the van with us to Yosemite. It’s a tight fit but making core memories with these guys is absolutely worth it. #vanlife

Pretty much sums it up. Fuck you, Elon.

I made this so long ago so some of these liveries are ghosts of Christmas past. #avgeek

I am glad the impending wind storm was a dud. Here's a nice moment from the Space Needle webcam a moment ago #wawx

New kitten slept on my shoulder most of last night, his first night out of cat-introduction-quarantine, and I am both over-joyed and asthmatic. I absolutely love cats and am allergic. Worth every sniffle. #catsofbluesky

I hope this is a harbinger of good for 2026. I fracking love this.
I want everyone to see this black cat that was at stonehenge on the morning of the winter solstice

I wished for a lap top cat, not a laptop cat. #catsofbluesky

Introducing cats is a long game. Today, for the first time, Washburn was allowed to explore the house without a leash, the cats interacted directly. No fights, just posture batting and trilling, and now they're both processing in their own spaces (Wash is back in the office). #catsofbluesky

Winterized the van today, this area hasn’t seen below freezing just yet. It doesn’t mean we stop living #vanlife in the winter, it just means we transition to #juglife

I bet this will be a significant part of the GOP healthcare plan: bring back the ability to cull people with pre-existing conditions. Insuring healthy people is a lot more affordable.
LANKFORD: In 2010, before Obamacare kicked in, the normal healthcare premium was $215.

HUNT: Right. But insurance companies could refuse to cover you for a preexisting condition

LANKFORD: That's true.

Under-the-door introductions are proceeding. Both cats are trilling and they have touched paws a few times. It’s so hard to take it slow. Tomorrow we remove the paper from the door windows and continue negotiations. #catsofbluesky

He’s been here only 8 hours and he’s already a lap cat. My heart. #catsofblueaky

If Donald Trump is OK with Pam Bondi making him look *this* guilty, the Epstein Files must have lots of outrageously
damning evidence about him.

He’s here! Washburn, direct from Maui, in his new home in the PNW. Now for the slow process of introduction with our resident cat, Zoe. #catsofbluesky

If Trump really was "America first", he would rename the country "Aamerica" so we'd appear first in all HTML select boxes instead of at the bottom.

Deep in the heart of Utah oil country is a couple of acres of a particularly unique geological formation called Fantasy Canyon. It’s a trek but well worth the drive, no high-clearance needed. #vanlife

Saudi Arabia also nationalized US oil interests, is there a plan for that, too?
Trump on Venezuela: "They took all of our oil and we want it back. They illegally took it."

In September 2023, the same storm that flooded Burning Man also flooded Bonneville and we just happened to be passing through. For a brief moment, Bonneville became Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia #vanlife #utah
