You may ask yourself, well, how did I get here? Concerned AZ Army #veteran trying to make sense of it all. Likes #hiking, #mountainbiking, #backpacking, #packrafting, #canyoneering, and adventures in our #truckcamper.
A hero in Minnesota. Thank you @john-abernathy.bsky.social for inspiring us all to have courage in this battle for the soul of America.

Thank you for this article. I'm astounded that it's just now front page in the AZ Republic nearly a month later! Nearly 750,000 AZ seniors on traditional Medicare (like me) should be outraged that we will now be subjected to an ai algorithm dictating the pre-authorization process for our healthcare.

AI will have a say in approving or denying some AZ Medicare claims
Arizonans enrolled in original Medicare will be test subjects for a controversial new program that makes use of AI to approve and deny claims.

A few pics from a recent visit to the Newport OR area so that I can give a shout out to #OregonCoastAcquarium for their wonderful marine biology displays and wildlife education programs. Also, fuck the ICE fascists who want put a detention facility in this magnificent tourist destination.

The Aravaipa Creek Wilderness in AZ. Another reason why we need to keep public lands in public hands: just on the doorstep of a major mining project, yet haven to bighorns, coatimundi, mountain lions, javelina, bear, deer, bobcats, exotic birds, etc. Truly deserving to be called big & beautiful.

Florida Man strikes again. Just another example of a Republican program designed to siphon off public education tax dollars, which in turn leads to the kind of waste, fraud, and abuse that Repugs love. I'm sure a donation to Trump will earn this guy a pardon.

Recent pics from visiting friends in Durango CO. Parts of Robert Redford's "Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid" were filmed here. Also, this used to be Lauren Boebert's district until she carpetbaggered her way to an even redder district a few years ago.
