Male Powerful Owl in suburban Brisbane. We were both a bit surprised, me by where he was roosting, & he that I was there. Fortunately, I backed off quickly & he was fine. You realise how much you don't actually see, even when it's right in front of you, when looking for owls #brisbane #birds #wildoz

I will vote for the first candidate who tells me they're going to make the biggest government possible. Reacher-sized agencies. Braun Strowman-level social benefits. Government so big it starts belching out National Parks and free healthcare. Chungus State.

When does the EPA (r.i.p.) list come out? I have some serious linguistic gymnastics to beef up on.

The U.S. #NationalWeatherService, housed within #NOAA, is a truly world-class meteorological predictive service, perhaps singularly so. It costs only ~$3/yr per taxpayer, & yields ~10:1 return on investment--saving economy 10s-100s of billions, not to mention thousands of lives.
