I need a new bucket to put in all the croissants I did in fact order. And tenderloin filets.

My body is still not working normally since surgery 3 weeks ago. Just popped an Ambien, crawled into bed and then realized I hadn’t placed my Farmers Market order. So I staggered downstairs and hopefully ordered things that I meant to, and not habanero goat milk nipple balm, or 15 wagyu briskets.

Timeline cleanse! Hey skiers, vote for Boise's own, very awesome Maddie Baldwin in the Rise Up Challenge for chairlift mechanics. Only takes a second (unless you watch the video). It's so cool to see young women stepping into positions like these! www.saminfo.com/contest-awar...

MaGA GOP needs a pedocure

Jeebus. And to top it off, he acts like breeding pitbulls is a good cause. Scum.

But will insurance cover it for those of us under 65?

I just learned I went to high school with Trump’s pick to lead the Forest Service. Shall I invite him to our reunion?

So we just select the emoji for it? 📌

We had to upgrade to one with a latch at our cabin our past Wagon Wheel Bay. Bears and a neighbor's dog were making the rounds. Fortunately no animals had to be killed, though we had bad thoughts about the dog's owner.

He is such a predator.

Yikes, that sounds terrifying. I'm glad you made it through.

LOL.

A good sign, I hope! Unless he runs a Ghislaine Maxwell flag up next.

Thanks!

Yeah, I’d like to see the new bridge mimic the original style and then remove the old one so there’s still a nice site line for photographs. Hopefully they’ll add a pullout for photo opportunities.

Just enough to sell their souls.

A Great Horned Owl in a birch tree looks down at the photographer with one eye closed. It is mostly brown, with horizontal brown barring on its creamy belly, mottled brown wings and back that mimic tree bark, long feather tufts that look like ears (they aren't), a heavy, v-shaped brow giving it an angry look, a facial disc rimmed in black, and a large yellow eye.

Happy International Owl Awareness Day! You can help owls by not poisoning rodents, keeping a few dead trees on your property (if safe to do so), putting up nest platforms or boxes, not lingering if you find one, and not voting for Republicans. #InternationalOwlAwarenessDay

A photo of several police officers at their swearing in ceremony. Caption: Officer Brandon LeBlanc (third from right) joined the Juneau Police Department in October of 2024. Prior to joining JPD he worked as an officer in Louisiana. Where he was sued for the excessive use of force and failure to give aid when he and another officer broke the jaw of a man and tazed him multiple times.

Well, this is no surprise. The cop that threw the Alaska Native man to the ground in Juneau has a violent past. I hate how these guys can just shuffle on to a new police department in another state. No doubt ICE agent will be his next job.

Yep, I mentioned that. I never rented from them because their prices were so much higher, but those false accusations cemented the non-deal.

Dude in the maga hat at Costco going against the cart traffic, "sorry, I guess I'm going the wrong way."

Yes you most certainly are.

I freakin' hate obnoxious campers. My favorites are the ones who set up a generator closer to a neighbor's spot than their own, and outdoor TVs blaring until midnight. We try to choose campgrounds with a host that we hope enforces quiet hours, but we all know that some don't.

We're birders (and Jim's a bid photog) so we almost always rent when we fly somewhere in the U.S. to get off the beaten path.

Hertz Customers Say AI Falsely Flags Damage to Rental Cars With No Way to Dispute Charges Hertz renters say AI falsely detects damage, with no way to dispute. One loyal customer says he's done after 10 years of trouble-free rentals.

I'm not sure why travelers still rent cars from Hertz. Weren't they falsely accusing some customers of stealing cars not too long ago? Hertz owns Dollar, Firefly, and Thrifty, too. via @johnnyjet.bsky.social johnnyjet.com/hertz-custom...

Now many artists have to weigh treating their fans to a concert and promoting their records, or avoiding the most extreme red states out of principle.

How did I miss this?!! "Get the hell out of Scotland, you pedo!" by @scaredketchup.bsky.social youtu.be/loqtUyNgnAo?...

I had the pleasure of seeing them perform twice in Alaska. I'm surprised they haven't come through Boise (that I know of) in the past 10 years.

I’m curious to know why they had to detonate the unexploded ordnance when they did instead of waiting. Wasn’t there a red flag warning that evening?

Beats me. I’ve been picking in that forest for more than 50 years!
