Seems to be done. A quiet sunset.

Fourth trip. Watched it ascend out of Goose. Still no smoke. Just weird.

I'm in Indian Heaven, above Forlorn/Goose, but I can't see it well.

A helicopter is operating near Goose Lake.
It just did a third landing, or touch-n-go?
Heads to the east (Trout Lake?), then returns.
Not on FlightRadar.
I see no smoke. Nothing on Watch Duty.
I think I hear it coming back again?

You got this!

Doubt Canada wanted our sulfer dioxides either

If a billionaire died every day this year, there'd still be too many billionaires.

As my dad was fond of saying this time of year, "If you want a fifth for the fourth, you gotta get it by the third."

But, what if you don't?
Is it a good time to tell them that, too?

It's all there. Rage, with a dash of kink.
You got the ingredients.
Cook it up!
