Court document reveals that the USGS Ecosystems Mission Area would be cut severely, and maybe entirely, along with critical natural resource management staff. This would be devastating for our public lands!
“The Monday filing outlines where 2,050 positions would be eliminated; the U.S. Geological Survey, the Bureau of Land Management, and the main Interior office would be especially hard hit. Regional offices with the National Park Service are also targeted for significant cuts.”

Kristi Noem and Kash Patel were out last night enjoying the Las Vegas F1 race at taxpayers’ expense. This is exactly the kind of fraud, waste, and abuse that deserves a full investigation.

Yes, that’s a ladybug walking up our kitchen window. Yes, it’s November 22nd. But it’s nearly sixty degrees in South Dakota!

Weather is ridiculously nice here in South Dakota so hubs and I went for a hike this morning at Great Bear. They’ve been working on their trails, with about half the park acreage completed. The trails they’re creating are very nice.
BTW: it’s November 22nd and it was 53 degrees here. Craaaazy!

What’s the one “traditional” holiday dish you really look forward to?

Confession: I love a good sage-y stuffing and must stop myself from eating too much of it.

This morning’s glorious sunrise. New day; new possibilities.
Go get ‘em!

My favorite t-shirt. And my favorite fact.

I got it from the online store of the National World War I Museum if you’re interested in getting one of your own.

Oh the historical irony. Trump sent death threats against government officials who asked our troops to refuse illegal orders... on the 80th anniversary of the Nuremberg trials.

Karoline Leavitt was asked about Trump calling a female reporter “piggy.” Her response? “Look, the president is very frank and honest.”

These people are lost souls.

I think Jack-Jack thought he heard there would be an aurora bunnyalis tonight. Theodore wasn’t so sure Jack-Jack heard things correctly.

What a surprise! My chili won the second place prize in a chili cookoff.
My friends Brendon and Mike took first and third. ALL the chilis were outstanding!

Many people don't realise how climate change is already - not in the future - affecting our lives. And it's doing so in ways that, once our eyes are opened, we can notice!

For example, food. h/t @climatecentral.org

A female reporter asks Trump about Epstein. He says, “Quiet, piggy.”

When Khashoggi’s murder is brought up in his meeting with the Saudi Prince who had him killed (according to the CIA), Trump says, “Things happen.”

You have a monster at the helm, America. You are in terrible danger.

I just finished an amazing book. WALKING TOWARD PEACE, by Cindy Ross (Mountaineer Press, 2021). It chronicles the healing stories of veterans through hiking and experiencing the outdoors (ecotherapy). In addition to the stories of healing, the book includes snippets from research into the benefits

2020 footage said to be in 2025. A scene of protestors in Illinois, suggested as Portland.

We reviewed Fox News coverage and 700+ social media videos that preceded Trump’s decision to send the National Guard to Portland.
