Granted, it does look a little sarcophagous-y, but this homemade hardware-cloth covered frame serves as a lid atop a raised planter. To prevent squirrels from stealing germinating acorns. More are in the works. #gardening #oaks #Rewilding

US federal agency Bureau of Land Management (BLM) officially declaring American #Bison unwelcome on BLM-managed #rangelands. Its nutty, since #cattle ranchers don't really need federal welfare. #Beef prices are high (although #StupidHitler is working to flood the US market with beef from #Argdntina.

What's next? No #Canada geese?

I've had these #Meindl hiking boots for over 50 years. Bought them with money I made as a kid drawing editorial cartoons for my hometown newspaper. They got me started #hiking the #Appalachian #Trail in #Virginia and #Pennsylvania, and later in the #Sierra #Nevada. It was past time to get them re-soled and some TLC. Meindl-approved cobbler in Seattle worked wonders. I went nuts with 72-inch laces. #craftsmanship #reuse #repair

Whatever bonkers move the Mussolini EPA pulls to try to knee-cap the endangerment finding, corporations would be wise to not back-slide. They should continue to meet or exceed their compliance obligations as if there had never been a tRump administration. #environmentalprotection #pollution #regulation

Senator Padilla, an engineering #MIT alum who has "worked across the aisle" to enhance/preserve federal #wildfire response in the West, is one of the most mild-mannered Democratic Senators you could ever meet. His ill-treatment at the hands of DHS flunkies is obscene.

Why can't the NYT say that "in the run-up to today's decision to cancel the #Moderna contract, HHS Secretary RFK Jr, made false claims about the safety of mRNA - based vaccines." Just say it, NYT: "false claims." Because that's what they are. A billion people on #Earth received the #mRNA covid vaccine, and few individuals had issues.

it's why keeping forests and other ecosystems intact is important: resident insect populations are the fuel for raising baby birds. No habitat, no bugs...no birds.

It may sound strange, but I've always regarded the Black Rat snake as a nice-looking species. Mild-mannered and curious, too. When i lived in Virginia, an acquaintance recounted a weekend he spent at his parent's farm, shearing sheep. He said Black Rat snakes came to watch the proceedings.

We've had a respite today from the copious rain of this week. It's late afternoon, and I just had go to the back of the yard, to gaze at the #oranges awash in warm light against a vivid blue sky. They are perfectly ripe. #SacramentoValley #NorthernCalifornia #Winter #Citrus #Trees #Gratitude
