Off Duty Ranger

The sad reality of summertime in the American West.

Awful awful news.

No!!! 😢

Been a member since the beginnings of the first Voldemort administration. Really really fantastic, focused organization.

UGH. Hope that ends soon.

San Jose Sharks fan here saying “Go Habs Go!”

Sorry, but not trusting any polling data going forward…

Baseball, nature, and progressive rock.

Just landed at LAX and seeing the news about the President’s blame game. What an absolute ass, and that’s being mild. 2 significant disasters already in 2025 and all he can do is lie and point fingers. I have no idea how I’m going to get through this Admin.

So Yeti is out because of the copyright issue? Or just didn’t get the votes…? I still miss them being in AZ, but that train has long left the station.

😡

Prilosec OTC and some noise-cancelling headphones.

Reminded me of the days when 17,000 Sharks fans would be chanting “Fraser sucks” when Kerry Fraser would blow a series of calls. Really a disappointing performance by the zebras on a night when several Sharks also really stepped up (Vanecek, Zetterlund, Kovalenko).

Nothing like a non-call on what should have been a major penalty. Just horrendous officiating.

Not sure it’s exactly folk, but… youtu.be/c6CWk9biQpY?...

Historic Bidwell Mansion in Chico destroyed by fire, Californians mourn loss The Bidwell Mansion was built by John Bidwell in the 1860s. John and his wife Annie entertained guests in the mansion, like President Rutherford B. Hayes.

We’ve lost too many irreplaceable CA State Park natural and cultural resources in the past few years.

This, in a nutshell, is part of what is completely broken in the US today.

No biological or epidemiological basis for culling bison outside park boundaries. Just sheer ignorance and greed.

Happy Thanksgiving to ALL.

😂

Tf am I doing here then…

😡 just infuriating.

Sagebrush is soaked after this round of the bomb cyclone moved through. It’s a beautiful morning.

I started my career with State Parks as a seasonal in 1989. Two weeks ago, I retired. I might go back to being a seasonal ranger at some point, or maybe just volunteer. Feeling a little disoriented, frankly, but very grateful for all the friends and memories.
