Wanted to head up high today, maybe touch some some fresh Indian Heaven snow, but it was just too windy. Though sunny, prolly woulda been brutal.

A helicopter is operating near Goose Lake.
It just did a third landing, or touch-n-go?
Heads to the east (Trout Lake?), then returns.
Not on FlightRadar.
I see no smoke. Nothing on Watch Duty.
I think I hear it coming back again?

Indian Heaven is shedding its winter coat in a hurry! Reached a favorite place, my Crescent Crater Lake. Last I was here in October, I was kicking through the first layers of the snow melting today, in places still several feet deep. It'll all be gone in days.

Another of the many horrific clearcuts on our #publiclands, which I photographed on my flight with @lighthawk-org.bsky.social this past weekend. Many of these clearcuts are so recent that they have not showed up yet on satellite maps - the condition our forests is growing worse each and every day.

Pres. Trump should rename the "Canada Goose" the "America Goose." Why? Because they are born and raised in the USA, they are loud and obnoxious, whatever they do or wherever they go they leave a huge mess behind, they are bird-brained, they lay claim to Canada, and they are full of crap.

Sticker for 1932 Detroit #MayDay parade. Printed 5 years before the @uaw.org formed and in the aftermath of the Ford Hunger March massacre, it speaks to the violence autoworkers endured to unionize their industry. From the Joe Brown Papers at the @reutherlibrary.bsky.social.
