38 is the new 40. Awesome to see my mom (briefly) in Boston with dinner and great in-laws (and also that weird lady on the far right). A great birthday topped off by Gilly slicing her paw and a vet visit. She’s a trooper.

One fun thing about this story is that it includes quotes from my interview with @petebuttigieg.bsky.social, who brought up, unprompted, the notorious "Wolves Only Roadway" episode of the West Wing — and pointed out that a pre-Swanson Nick Offerman plays one of the humorless wildlife advocates!

Just received an illegal stop work order on 2 BLM grants to restore riparian areas within grasslands for the benefit of wildlife and producers. These people can fuck all the way off regardless but if this project is getting caught in their ChatGPT keyword searches... just about everything must be.
