Taking advantage of winter's slow start to seek out Golden Tamaracks.
#mountainbiking #pnw
A snowy forest scene and a mountain biker riding the snow covered trail. Light snow covering a portion of trail with a set of bike tire tracks. Golden Tamaracks among the Green conifers. A view through a stand of trees with a faint image of a snow covered Mt Adams in the distance.

Rescue diver into the water.

Did not have being witness to a vehicle plunging off the Santa Cruz Wharf on my bingo card.
Diver, mid-air, in frogman pose, jumping off the Santa Cruz Wharf. Two surf boards float nearby. Palm yes and the Boardwalk in the background on a foggy day.

What are the odds a commemorative piece ends up in Moscow?

"IT'S A CON!"

Parallel efforts underway to achieve the same goal. Unions must be destroyed. Rules and regulations must be destroyed. The spice must flow.
“The employment shifts everybody’s worried about are actually not going to happen at anywhere near the velocity people think,” Andreessen said, “because a significant percentage of jobs in the U.S. are licensed or unionized or civil service in a way where they literally cannot be replaced.”

From last weekend: deep in the Mt Hood National Forest, Oregon, USA
#mountainbiking #upperleftusa
Two mountain bikers are approaching the deep woods of the Mt Hood National Forest. Trees and ferns abound.

Another one from the department of labor

This one is sort of benign, but it is odd, the "make government so small you can drown it in a bathtub" crowd are cheering that government does good.
I dunno, sounds like socialism.
Headline as it appears on my Google news feed, a cross post from X, the right-wing, nazi-adjacent social media platform formerly known as Twitter, from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service that reads, "In western Montana, we're working with @FlatheadElec & Montana West Economic Development to keep the lights on & the fires out through our Community Wildfire Defense Grants to protect homes and utility lines: https://www.fs.usda.gov/about-agency/features/keeping-lights-and-fires-out-rural-montana . . ." A photo of workers in bright and reflective safety garments stand around a utility truck surrounded by conifers on a dirt road with a utility pole in the background, accompanies the blurb.

There's also these types of articles showing up, not official government entities, but weirdly specific. I thought I previously clicked on the "show less" of those kind of stories, yet, here we are.
Headline from some entity called "The War Zone," with Image of US fighter jet on the ground, being tended to by a couple of service people, that reads, "Historic Shuttered Navy Base Back In Action For Caribbean Counter-Drug Mission."

Another one today:
Headline from United States Department of Labor that reads, "America will ride stronger than ever before," with an image of a painting entitled, "Pledge of Allegiance," by Edward Stevenson, depicting two young white people hoisting an American flag with, what appears to be Boy Scouts, saluting in the background.

More of these kinds of headlines are appearing in my Google news feed. Official government entities with editorialized headlines making broad partisan insinuations.
Screen shot of official Bureau of Land Management (.gov) headline from Google need feed that reads, "Interior proposes to rescind Public Lands Rule, restoring balanced, multiple-use management.

This is a photo I took on a nighttime mountain bike adventure as the sun was setting with the moon rising over Mt Adams and the shadow of Mt St Helens silhouetted across the valley. 2007.
Moon Rose over the shoulder of a mountain with various shades and hues of the diminishing sunlight casting shadows across the landscape.

Jenga!
What makes people do this?

Relaxing on the patio. Now and where'd I put that joint?
An Australia-shaped metal ash tray adorned with the likeness of a kangaroo and a boomerang rests on a pink and green Tartan plaid oil cloth that closely matches the color of the silicon tip on a pre-rolled, partially consumed, marijuana cigarette perched near Perth.

To fatten them up, obviously.

Not many people know this, but when Ben Cartwright died, after Hoss suffered a heart attack branding calves, Adam went on a bender in town and was shot and killed by the crooked card dealer, Little John sold off the herd and planted a lemon grove. That's why they are called Ponderosa Lemons.

Very excited, as a Peacock subscriber, that I will be able to watch extensive coverage of Le Tour.

Especially curious about the Grant Depart.
"ALL OF YOUR CYCLING UPDATES ARE ON THE WAY." Declares the header of a Peacock webpage. "A stage-by-stage look at the 2025 Tour de France route with profiles, previews and estimated start and finish times (all times Eastern)." Stage 1/July 5. Lille Metropole-Lille Metropole (115 miles) Flat Neutralized Start: 7:10 a.m. Estimated Finish 11:36 a.m. Quick preview: the Grant Depart is in the northern French city of Lille after the previous the Tours started in Denmark . . . " "Grant Depart" is highlighted in text.
