creamsicle sunrise, Thursday

Typically by now, we're measuring snow by how many barbed wire strands are still showing. This year it's shorter than the stubble. Lots of moisture coming this week but they're predicting rain, not snow. Snowmen are still in the planning phase.

They're labeling his clothes, too. Wonder what "incident" led to this being necessary.

Even a five gallon bucket lid is no match when you've got paws like this.

I've held off driving while my eye healed - they look at it tomorrow to get an idea of how correctible the vision is. (Double vision driving is disconcerting, to say the least.) Figure I'll try some road tripping come spring, so yeah, if you're still in the Aro Desert...

IDK. "House Minority Leader Ocasio-Cortez" sounds pretty good about now.

Yeah, but have you got your own ballet dancer?

Big Sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) still sounds to me like the title of a John Ford movie or a Zane Grey novel.

While ceding Ukraine's land is wrong, the map posted here is very inaccurate. Here's a size comparison as per Washington Post:

Free smoke detectors for kids with special needs

#McCall #Donnely #Idaho

"Families interested in obtaining the voice-alert smoke detectors should contact Jeff Riechmann at Courageous Kids Climbing. Jeff can be contacted at courageouskidsclimbing@gmail.com."

Full details in alt text.
FREE SMOKE DETECTORS FOR KIDS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS It is not uncommon for a child with special needs, especially intellectual challenges, to be afraid of loud noises. This includes the sound emitted by an activated smoke detector. For these families, fire prevention specialists recommend that the families acquire voice-alert smoke detectors. The voice-alert smoke detector replaces the “scary” noise with a calming voice that provides instructions regarding the smoke detectors alert. Courageous Kids Climbing has received special funding to purchase these voice-alert smoke detectors and provided them free of charge to affected families. The smoke detectors are available to families in New Meadows and throughout Valley County. These smoke detectors have been purchased at a reduced price thanks to the support of Franklin Building Supply in McCall. Families interested in obtaining the voice-alert smoke detectors should contact Jeff Riechmann at Courageous Kids Climbing. Jeff can be contacted at courageouskidsclimbing@gmail.com.
