The price of eggs is really getting ridiculous. In fact, yesterday I saw a bunch of chickens driving around in a totally tricked out, 2025 Hummer.

I was the Fulbright scholar to Nepal in 2016-2017. It resulted in over two years of ethnographic fieldwork, six peer-reviewed articles, and two books about Shaligrams! The sacred fossil ammonites of the Himalayas.

Sorry.
The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired.

Here in a newly minted year I remember the lyrics to the chorus of Paranoid Larry’s song Jesus Shaves:
Blessed are thе ones who make peace
Blessed are the ones who scrape by
Blessed are the ones living holy lives
And here’s to the rest of us who try.
