A Snake River Fall-run Brown #Trout. Great run this Fall! Just my way of fly-fishing, I use barbless hooks & don't remove the fish from water. Quick photo, flick of the wrist & off the trout goes. I don't pass judgement on others, simply my way of fishing.

El-Sayed on Trump's cognitive tests: "I went to medical school...In my neurology unit, I would have to give that MoCA exam...The only people that you give a MoCA test to are people who you worry may have cognitive deficits. By definition, if you're taking one of those tests, something's wrong."

The war in Iran is driving diesel costs through the roof for families across Alaska. And Dan Sullivan has now voted 14 times to extend it.

See, incumbent has a b in it and many people don’t know that.

Trump says Alaska’s ballot is illegal because people don’t know what “incumbent” means

Just had a Sharp-shinned Hawk fly in & land on backyard cottonwood with a vole in its talons. Evening Grosbeaks & Chickadees scattered from the tree. Reason, even when reading on deck, I always have the binocs in reach!

AM walk down to the Snake, mist rising from the water & warmed to 33° now. Back up to home & wife's homemade minestrone soup, started at 6 AM, is now done. With scent of pine woodsmoke in the air & to come indoors to the aroma of her soup in the kitchen...is all the Sunday "church" I ever need!

Inside, wood fire's going & coffee's made. Outside, it's 29°, foggy & all surfaces are covered in frost. Forecast is highs to mid-50s & lows to upper 20s & partly cloudy for the next week.

This footage shot by a tourist aboard Jacksonville Boat Charters near Amelia Island, Florida shows a leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea). At 2000 lbs (900 kg) & 7 ft long (2.1 m) they're the largest turtles & indeed one of the heaviest extant reptiles on Earth. Here There Be Monsters!

I don’t know who to attribute this to, but it’s so well written. Americans need to take their power back through their elected representatives, and ensure those individuals use the rule of law consistently to bring the corrupt to justice - investigations and trials are only the beginning.

Bernie Sanders: "If you believe as I do that Donald Trump is the most dangerous president in the history of the United States, we need to get rid of that rubber stamp Republican leadership in the House and Senate."

Front & backyard muledeer, as dusk approaches, this evening. 3 in backyard & 4 out front (3 bedded down in pasture, just beyond the fence, where the one is browsing). Going to be clear & cold tonight. 45° now, dropping to low of 25°. Started woodstove about 1/2 hr ago.

Warmed to 47° now, dropping to 26° tonight. Area mtns all with snow-capped peaks today. Walked down to the river, now relaxing on back deck. Trying to read Utley's "After Lewis & Clark", but backyard wildlife keeps drawing my attention. Believe the book's mtn men would have understood...

Lol! Was going to step out on back deck with my coffee, but sliding screen door is frozen in track. It's 29° this AM & rained most of yest. Frost on cushions & lawn. Wife wants to head to a couple of farmer's mkts today. Headed to 50°, so all will melt with blue skies today!

Cool! Now do JD Vance.

“Therefore, because she used a fake name to be sworn in, I assume she must IMMEDIATELY resign from Congress. Please inform the Speaker of the House of Representatives, James Michael Johnson, that the Dumocrat Party has just conceded her seat.”
