😷 IT'S RESPIRATORY ILLNESS SEASON! #Flu, #RSV & #pertussis cases are rising. When you have a respiratory virus infection, you can spread it to others. Dr. Bruno says, this holiday season make sure you wear masks, use hand sanitizer and are up-to-date on your vaccinations.

It never gets old! As infrastructure of government get cut down, communities must come together to mitigate the impacts. While overgrown Himalayan Blackberries laddered fire into trees during the Eagle Creek Fire, they have been allowed to regrow without any maintenance. It’s time to step in.

We are an unserious country.

Elon Musk's 'Department of Government Efficiency' is neither a department nor efficient—it's a hostile takeover of our public institutions. Democracy is not a private enterprise.

I know this is cheesy, but I’m going to say it anyway: Don’t forget to show up for yourself. For awhile I stopped doing my long weekend runs and I’ve been back at it for several weeks and it makes all the difference. Whatever your thing is, don’t stop doing it!

I’m thinking about federal income tax. If the federal government isn’t meeting its obligations why should we? Specifically, I’d love to see states get the money first and hold it in trust pending litigation. I want to pay my taxes but not to a government that doesn’t respect the constitution.

Just a reminder that morels will be around soon, like within a months time. Plan accordingly for your foraging season.

Well crap

Another accident along Highway 84, exit 28. It’s rough out there! Be safe! Wind is blowing. It’s cold!!

True story: when my older boys were little, they both got whooping cough even though they were vaccinated. It was bad. We asked the pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. They would’ve died, he said. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Ice crystals on the ground. We are heading into our first real cold snap. Sunny and cold in Bridal Veil today.

Kai having a full circle moment!

So here's a thought. What if all the rest of the White House press corps stopped showing up until the AP's reinstated?

Your periodic reminder that no tax cut in the history of tax cuts has ever paid for itself.
