September climate warming stripes. It's as if something has changed. 🤔

I was just in Theodore Roosevelt and those bison are not nearly as reactive as Yellowstone bison for some reason. The rangers would slowly move into a jam and make a weird noise with something and they would amble off. I’ve tried that in Yellowstone and had a juvenile bull push my car with his head.

I love when I come across something beautiful and I know I can trust the person posting and it’s not AI. ❤️🧡❤️🧡

The moon rise on the day before the full moon occurs just before the sun sets. Yesterday, we took full advantage as the 98% moon rose behind this grain elevator that was glowing in the setting sun. #SK #Rex #landscape #moonrise

We are doomed. Not because AI will become sentient. Sadly, people will voluntarily hand over their brains to an error-prone, profit-driven machine and become incapable of independent thought and can’t recognize reality.

Years ago, my supervisor’s wife opebed their front door to find the power out and waterlogged drywall dropping off the ceiling. The valve in a second floor toilet malfunctioned while they were working and destroyed the house.

They took away your funding and you carry water for them as they destroy democracy. Shame, @npr.org. Not resuming donations until you get your act together and stop using subjective language that normalizes fascism.

My thought as well. She got rich. She doesn’t care.

Right? I just drove across the US and could get only country and religious stations in a lot of places. He’s more like old country, not the “baby blue eyes cherry red lips sitting in my pickup by the lake” guys.

I have big dogs and anything like a rat or vole is fair game. They just aren’t as streamlined and efficient as small dogs.

Dug’s response to my asking whether he wanted to go get a treat. I take this as a no. #rescuedogs

A black dog with a white chest rolled on his back, sprawled out in the thin grass of a gravel drive at, closing his eyes and ignoring his owner.

Oh no, that sounds so grim. I’m so sorry for her and you. Really reinforces why we need to mask and vax.

Dogs always have the right priorities. After an exhausting week not feeling well and being poked and pinched at the vet twice, Dug is just letting the unseasonably warm weather help him relax and heal.

I’m just standing here lol.
