Damn right. That's why one of my signs for the Hands Off march said this.
A hand written protest sign which reads "Without due process, arrest=kidnapping, deportation=trafficking, imprisonment=slavery. You could be next."

Took a few laps of our snow track on my daughter's CForce 110. This thing seriously rips! It drifts like a charm too.

Did some snow riding with my daughter today. 15°F 🥶. So much fun though.
#Yamaha #Cfmoto
Two sport quads parked side-by-side: a blue and black Yamaha Raptor 700 adult ATV and a blue CFMoto CForce 110 kids ATV. The sky is grey, the ground is covered in packed snow, and there are woods in the background. A girl wearing winter gloves and jacket, a white and pink motorcross helmet, and riding a blue kids ATV. The ground is covered in snow, with visible tire tracks where the snow has been packed down. The sky is cloudy and there are woods in the background.

A a close-up portrait photo of a green snake whose face and expression somewhat resemble Melania Trump. The snake is upright with its neck cocked to the left and is looking towards the camera. The image is overlayed with the text "Be Best".

😳 @ those last two charts: crop yield reductions and economic impacts from 2040 to 2060
Crop yields in the North expected to benefit while yields in the South are devastated by as much as 90% in some counties. Southern states see economic losses as large as 50% on coastal regions, while North generally improves.

So much steam! And my headlights iced up 😆
The header is only slightly warm...

A blue Yamaha Raptor ATV outside in cold weather, parked on a snowy driveway. The front of the ATV is packed with snow and a cloud of steam is rising from the radiator.

These Maxxis 4-SNOW tires are a game changer. Never would have gotten around in snow this deep with the stock tires. Front arms are plowing, center and rear arm are dragging, but it just chugs right along.
A pair of paddle-style snow tires mounted on the rear end of a sport ATV A Yamaha Raptor sport ATV stopped in deep snow. Snow is piled up under the bumper and front suspension arms from the ATV pushing through. Behind the ATV are deep tracks and impression where parts of the ATV are dragging in the snow. The ATV has paddle-style snow tires on the rear wheels, without which it would have gotten stuck.

A view from the top of the world. Well, not really the top, just from our back hill.
View from a wooded hilltop, looking down onto a yard and brown house. Fresh snowfall covers the yard, house roof, and tree branches. Sky is blue with light wisps of clouds. The sun is out of frame but brightly illuminating entire scene. A solar panel array at the right side of the photo is just starting to melt and shed snow from its surface.

Our little plot of future Christmas trees 🌲
An ATV parked in a small field covered in a few inches of snow. In the background are about a dozen small evergreen trees, which will eventually be cut down as Christmas trees. Beyond the field are densely wooded hills, partly clouded blue skies, and the sun beaming through the tree branches.

Just got done packing down the sledding hill for us to use later today. It's steeper than it looks 😎
View from the bottom of a sledding hill. Each side of the hill is wooded, and the main path for sledding has been packed down by ATV tracks.

Happy holidays, everyone! Merry Christmas to those who partake!

My daughter got her wish for a white Christmas this year. It's sunny, clear, 18°F, and the snow is perfect. Now if I can just get her to stop playing with presents and go outside to enjoy it!

A garden fence and dog kennels are visible. The sky is blue and brightly lit, and woods are visible in the background. First-person view over handlebars of an ATV, looking down a path through snowy woods.
