Greetings. Currently telling everyone the wonderful story of the wacky fun of being in the Donner Party. Sometimes I throw in disaster and weather stories. Sometimes I stop being polite and start getting real. Also part of a 90s sci-fi podcast crew with dozens of fans. Dozens!
November 12, 1846: the snow stopped after several days.
Some of the party attempt a summit. They don't get far, sinking in the soft snow at times ten feet deep.
Some of the oxen are completely buried in snow. Margret Reed managed to buy an oxen from Graves on promises.

Babylon 5 S2E12 "Acts of Sacrifice"
Ugh.
G'kar has to play the game to try and win some help for the Narn from Delenn (who doesn't have any real power now anyway due to her transition pissing off the Grey council) and Sheridan (which Earth says fuck the Narn: America... I mean Earth first).

November 8, 1846. McCutchen and Reed wake up to the sound of horses taking off, and they discover that the two Miwoks with them have escaped.
Which, you can't really blame them when you consider the slavery conditions John Sutter kept his Miwoks in.
Yes, slavery.

James Reed, a rejuvenated Will McCutchen, and two Miwoks along with horses carrying food and supplies, reach Bear River valley.
They had been traveling in rain for four days. Reed had hoped he would meet his wife and children here along with other members of the party.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.
He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.
