A wet and windy day here. #wawx

Today I learned that "Mathcore" is a thing, and I'm not sure whether I love it or hate it. It's certainly interesting on a conceptual level! youtu.be/wL5UpOrHTBY?...

I filmed this video of the "Cake Walk" timber sale area which would rip the heart out of the Sherman Valley Legacy Forest in the Capitol Hills. @daveupthegrovecpl.bsky.social do not allow this place and thousands of acres of other legacy forest to be destroyed! youtu.be/NfbZkF8ei_U?...

We need @daveupthegrovecpl.bsky.social to stop the upcoming auction of legacy forests which were previously pushed through by Hillary Franz. 4 legacy forests will be sold off next week, and a further two in March, totalling 428 acres. We voted for Dave so that he would save these forests.

Watching "Lost" for the first time, and my initial impressions is that it's basically a gritty reboot of "Gilligan's Island".

It's weird how if you look up the lifespan of a numer of tree species, how inaccurate the information tends to be. Alder, cottonwood, and big leaf maple are all supposedly very short-lived, but I know of very elderly examples of such trees that are still in great health!

"The wonderful story of Henry Sugar" is certainly a wonderful film, and possibly the most Wes Anderson thing Wes Anderson has ever made.

For some reason, heavy metal helps me focus on tasks like nothing else. I find it oddly relaxing, and it helps eliminate distracting thoughts. In particular, I've found thst the music of Australian metalcore band Polaris seems to be most effective for this purpose.

"Mort(E)" is a nearly perfect Sci-Fi story with its unique ant-based apocalyptic setting and cast of murderous mutant humanoid animals. Unfortunately, I can't recommend the sequels (with the exception of the novella "Culdesac"). Best to skip the sequels and view "Mort(E)" as a standalone novel.

A wonderful fresh, blustery morning with cool mist spattering here and there. The ravens were clearly enjoying the weather too! #wawx

Washington and other blue states need to ban "X" and the sale of Teslas. #waleg

This is a really dumb move by ODFW. The result will be fewer permit sales, since a lot of people don't think to purchase permits ahead of time for places like this, & will either not visit or go anyway & risk a ticket if there's nowhere nearby to purchase a permit. www.oregonlive.com/news/2025/02...
