Tampa or away somewhere. Dog mom to Mateo, who I bring with whenever I can. Go Mateo go!
Pinned
Made good use of my insomnia last night- Mateo & I finally migrated over here. Started finding some of my dog & hiking peeps- hopefully will find more of my old travel folks.

Today's furcast comes from bonded Saint Bernard 9-year-old sisters, Dixie and Latigo! They love to snuggle on their dog bed and give you kisses.

They have been with us for nearly 3 years - please help us give them their forever home!

I might win this competition 😜
Rushing out to my birthday dinner (in my mid-20s). Blouse lapel area was wrinkled so I thought I’d just use the curling iron for a quick touch-up. Managed to sear a big burn right on the front of my breastbone 🤦🏼‍♀️
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

Sergeant Aquilino Gonell and all who protected all at the Capitol on January 6th are heroes. He shouldn’t be denied earned benefits in retaliation. This is shameful.

It looks like DOI is trying to get ahead of folks slapping stickers over Trump's face on national park passes.

New guidelines mention stickers specifically and it will be up to staff if they accept your pass or not.

Forgot to post yesterday morning’s New Year’s Day walk- Mateo heading into 2026 with his usual enthusiasm!

Happy New Year’s Eve- I’m terrible at top anything choices, but here is a Mateo #BestPhotos2025

Just sitting on the porch in 50 degree weather eating dinner- at least sunset is pretty.
Partner came home from holidays @home Sun nite & woke up sick Monday AM. Eating & working outside, masking in. 🤞🏼for me- I always mask x3d after he travels w/zero precautions- hopefully it worked this time.

Friend & I went to play starring Jeffrey Donovan in Chicago, Jan ‘09 (peak Burn Notice years).
Friend strode fearlessly up to him after, introduces us & asks me to take their pic.
I mistakenly have phone on vid & he (obviously joking) gripes “Liz, get it together!”
Mortified 😩
Friend took mine-

Oh yay, this is why I anticipate being one of the first wiped off the planet when somebody gets tired of our fuckery- I live a few miles from MacDill.
I don’t know if the US did an airstrike on Venezuela on Christmas Eve. What I do know is a USAF Stratotanker (midair refueler for bombers & fighter jets) took off from MacDill about 7pm local, turned off all signals & didn’t turn them on again til final approach 7 hours later. And that’s abnormal.

Mateo multi-tasking some napping & yoga. Leveling up this Sunday 😆

#STEAMinthePark applications open on January 1st to all educators, rangers and students of education. I'm probably applying to Voyageurs and maybe Glacier. I'd love to do Sitka, but it just isn't good timing for me. #ParkChat #TeacherSky

Wishing the Telluride Ski Patrol a holiday full of fair wages as they strike this Saturday ✊🏼
Patrol keeps skiers safe & ski corps can’t make $$ w/o them. Pay them for the hard work they do & the blisteringly expensive area in which they need to live.

Just dl’d some Xmas music from my library Hoopla account & found they have “Binge Pass” now.
If any #ParkChat ppl have this- the whole Ken Burns collection is a binge pass.

If you are in the US and you would like to send a message to your elected representative about the proposed dissolution of the National Center for Atmospheric Research, @agu.org makes it easy with a template here: agu.quorum.us/campaign/151... #AGU25
Save NCAR from being dismantled today!
The Trump Administration has vowed to dissolve the center that provides critical extreme weather and climate data for our nation.

While on bookshop.org buying @beckyjlomax.bsky.social book for my CO cousins, my search results put this book next on the list- I had no idea but it made me wish I were a better knitter & lived somewhere cold! If you’re a knitter, maybe buy it also when you’re buying the Moon Guide 📚 #ParkChat
