Even a well educated expert was fooled into a mistaken ID, his account of amatoxin poisoning is harrowing. He was on the op. table waiting for liver transplant when he began to get better without surgery.

NM's Yvette Herrell R is mentioned here. One place I go (public land-USFS) I've seen widespread cutting of fence so cattle can access spring areas along an intermittent stream. Fences placed to protect Willow habitat and its fauna from cattle grazing.

Noted earlier, not this many but more than usual for that coast.
Six US Navy P-8A Poseidons heading to the Caribbean. Several have now turned off their transponders.

Now it is 'crimethink.' The new American gestapo.
The news has entirely failed to grasp the unprecedented scope of the ICE and DHS budgets. Nothing like it in modern history. A galaxy of public/private surveillance and caging institutions for $100,000,000,000s unleashed on a public that will be forever changed. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...
ICE Wants to Go After Dissenters as well as Immigrants
The Trump administration is being open about its plans to violate Americans’ First and Fourth Amendment rights.

One of our mammals is missing. Yes, haven't seen one in a long time. I'll have to check a local bosque where they were pretty abundant and easy to spot in the winter when trees lost their leaves.
Others, including the Karuk Tribe, are already thinking ahead, charting ambitious plans to restore porcupines to their forests.

Yikes, another indicaiton?
There are reports that Chinese military officers were seen at the El Libertador Air Base in Maracay, amid growing military tension between Venezuela and the United States

Russia is beginning to evacuate Russian citizens from Venezuela.

Special flights are to begin, as reported by ATORUS (Association of Russian Tour Operators).

totally share this sense of the crazy.

it's also important to recognize that the administration is *already* in violation of the UN Charter: the military buildup & intimidation clearly constitute a threat of force ag the territorial integrity or political independence of Venezuela.
Not a Latin America specialist, but still kind of amazed at the incoherence of signals coming out of DC amid open-source reporting on flights/airspace and on countries evacuating citizens from Venezuela. Is attacking a live option? What's the offramp/deal for Maduro? Who's in charge of US policy?

Planes still in the air over Venezuela. Look to be commercial airlines.

Any military button experts here? Found this brass uniform button in my yard, back is raised letter "United States" in a stamped channel. One guide says that stamp type dates 1930-1850. House is old adobe in Rio Grande Valley, NM.

Hmmm, explains some sightings, etc. Wonder if my dad ever got wind of this when working at WSMR (nearby) at that time....
EXPLOSIVE: The late President George H.W. Bush told a federal official that an alien made contact with humans at Holloman Air Force Base in 1964, according to an explosive new documentary. Astrophysicist Eric Davis claimed Bush confirmed details of contact between the military and an alien creature.
