There are lots of hiking trails in the nearby mountains, which I appreciate. But then I look at 1950s topo maps and I realize we’ve lost at least as much trail mileage as we’ve maintained.

“Hanging Around”
An orbweaver in the path yesterday morning.
Yes, the Ridgeline Trail really did look like this earlier today.

Just having a little play with the Tokina 300mm reflex lens.
Trump says data center opponents face ‘poverty, crime and squalor’
Presumably he’ll be leasing out part of Mar-A-Lago for a data center then.
Trump tells Fed to slash rates or he’ll end trade with countries with U.S. surpluses
What a fucking moron. The only good thing about this is that the resulting economic carnage at home will turn more of his previous dupes against the administration.
We need to elect a strong Democratic majority to Congress this year. We need to impeach & convict Trump. We need to bury Trumpism with a stake through its idiotic heart.
Another rainy morning in Oregon.

Why gasoline-powered leaf blowers are still legal in this crunchy granola town I’ll never know.
