Oath Keeper Elmer Rhodes, & Proud Boys Enrique Tarrio are so fucking mad right now. They have to stay underground so we don't 'figure out' most ICE agents are their soldiers.
Bovino gets all their glory, gets to manage THEIR soldiers on the ground & take credit on tv.
It's just not fair. 😠

My 50 yr. old Christmas Cactus and the child it spawned, are starting to bloom. Over 200 buds between them.

It was a doodle dog take over at the dog park. 1 dog was a twin to my doodle! Hard to tell them apart. I tried to get photos of the whole pack but they never stopped moving!
My Maizey was in heaven! So many dogs with the same energy as her to play with.

I find it interesting that the two biggest domestic terrorist organization leaders, Elmer Rhodes-Oath Keepers, and Enrique Tarrio-Proud Boys, are strangely quiet.
Why? I think they are busy supplying & managing their ICE Agents behind the scenes.
Their assignment is to be discreet about it.

One of many reasons why I love Larch (Tamarack) Trees...
The carpet of gold they leave on the forest trails during this time of year. Wall-to-wall carpeting is also installed in driveways to rental cabins too.

Some comic relief. I took this at the annual Great Montana Sheep Drive in Reed Point, Montana.
It was this tiny town's version of the Great Montana Cattle Drive of 1989. Over 10,000 peeps came so they kept doing it.
A good time w. food, drinks, music, & 1500 sheep running down main street.

I drove to the Hungry Horse Reservoir for some lingering Larch shots and got totally distracted by the rocks. Came home with rock photos and a few souvenirs.

I was disappointed that this bar didn't have T-Shirts of their establishment. It would make a great addition to my weird Montana bar names t-shirt and hat collection.
The good news is that this windowless, cinder block bar in Walkerville, MT has a very friendly staff & patrons. Cheap drinks too.

I think we need to bring back stocks once we regain power.
Having Bovino in a public stock to be pissed and spit on would be cathartic for the people.

Action shot of warrior riders. No saddles, sometimes no headstall! Many riders just use a rein around the horse's neck.
The skill this takes is impressive!

First up - a victorious warrior crossing the finish line in front of the grandstand and 'shooting arrows' at us. One of my favorite images!

I have been putting my "I did that" Shitler stickers on the high-ticket items in the grocery stores. Yesterday as I headed to the coffee aisle to place my sticker, someone beat me to it!!
This is a very big deal in my red, red, area of the State!
Made me smile all day.

Our neighbor rotated his crops last year & planted hemp. It was a bumper crop.
Hemp is used in a ton of products, including food-medical products & construction products. Many hemp products replace plastic, which we ingest a shit ton of.
The breadth of Washington lawmakers' ignorance is broad.

Even though I know she is still a POS and is a self-serving bitch, I'm going to give Boebert her one moment to shine in the spotlight for doing the right thing.
I was totally shocked that she didn't cave to the situation room pressure.

Jumping off the Quarter Circle Bridge into the cold turquoise waters of McDonald Creek is one of my joys of Summer in NW Montana. I'm in my mid 60's and I plan on doing this into my 90's.
