New index idea: S&P 493. Everything except health insurers. I want my retirement funds to grow because people thrive, not because someone’s grandma got a claim denied. @lastweektonight.com what do you say?

Had a great time chatting with NaturallyScott — a podcast that dives deep into America’s wild places, birds, wildlife, and conservation storytelling. We had a great talk all about chestnuts and what restoration is all about.

As the shutdown end, I watched The West Wing searching for a reminder of when government still worked. In one episode, a character rolls his eyes at a bill funding “the uses of wood.”
I laughed because 25 years ago, I worked on that exact bill.
It reminded me what we often forget. lnkd.in/ef36mEij

Huge thanks to @outsidemag.bsky.social and @backpacker-mag.bsky.social for sharing the story of the American chestnut’s return and to everyone helping plant the future, one tree at a time.

Nearly a Century Ago, American Chestnut Trees Died Off. Now, Hikers Can Walk Among Them Again.
Efforts to restore the American chestnut comprise "one of the most epic conservation stories ever told.”

Canard à l’orange: reincarnated as a rubber duck in a claw machine, doomed to sun-bleach on the dashboard of a late-model Jeep.
