Meet our foster pup, Dulce! She was brought up to Bend from Mexico via a local rescue, Street Dog Hero. She’s the sweetest and most lovable 12-pound Chihuahua mix. The cold weather here in Oregon has been an adjustment for her but she loves endless pets, belly rubs, & treats.

The public hearing for a proposed re-districting map set forth by Deschutes County Board of Commissioners was jam packed at the county building! By my estimate 90% of the comments were opposed and 10% in favor for the gerrymandered maps. Will our MAGA-leaning commissioner board listen to the voters?

When my wife and I started planning our porch remodel enclosure & addition over 6 years ago, this was the vibe we were going for. I’m delighted to say, that after I installed the new plant/grow light hanger rack thingy this weekend that the space is officially done!

Yesterday my wife & I attended the Deschutes Co Townhall at Sisters High for @wyden.senate.gov & @bynum.house.gov. Here are my thoughts:
-the attendance was good but not as packed as I expected considering the state of our country.
-as is usual in Sisters, it’s an older crowd. I’m 45 and felt…1/

The medical and health “care” system is out of control in this country! I saw the dermatologist for an annual skin check. Almost $300 for a less than 10 minute visit. This is with a $150 co-pay, on top of the ~$600/month I pay in premiums w/ $9200 deductible for a bronze ACA plan.

Hey @wyden.senate.gov & @merkley.senate.gov…you voted to confirm this pud, where’s your immediate calls for impeachment and prosecution? You send me a text & email everyday asking for money, so I know you’ve got a comms team!
Sincerely, your irate constituent Adam

I’m feeling thankful to get to spend another spring season walking transects in the Mojave desert looking for desert tortoises. I’m also feeling really sad & angry that this is likely the last year of this 25 year project as the current administration continues their assault on science. 🐢🐢🐢

Not a bad place to wake up. The views are big in the northern NV sagebrush landscape. This is my 15th year of heading south for my field biology work season in the Mojave Desert…I hope it all holds up. This will be our home for the next few months!

I’m ready to take on the day after enjoying this pot of Japanese Kukicha Karigane green tea from Shizuoka.

After spending a few weeks up in the deep snow country of Tohoku & Hokkaido, its mighty nice to be back in early spring and wandering around the Minowa, Asakusa and Ueno neighborhoods in Tokyo for our final few days of our 4th Japan trip. It’s hard to leave this beautiful country!
