Personally I hope Gov. Polis keeps the portrait, finds a Sharpie, and draws a toothbrush moustache on it.
It’s spring. Even the leopard slugs are out smelling the flowers.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
Lots of people (including Congressfolks on both sides of the aisle) are shocked & appalled that the administration would include a journalist in a secret war meeting. It’s pretty much what I expect of this clown car administration.
Didn’t finish: The In-Between 📚. I’m interested in the subject (end-of-life care), and more so as I get older. Despite which, I gave up on this 10% in. The author’s backstory is perhaps more fascinating to her than to other people, and this is also a great example of why authors should not read their own audiobooks. I might have stuck with it if read by a professional narrator, but her voice and flatness just made it unlistenable. I might try again some day on a print copy.

Finished: The Last Wild Men of Borneo 📚. It’s a pretty meandering book, going from art collecting to the loss of native culture to protest movements to the mysterious disappearance of one of the main characters (about which there is not really any information). OK as a background audiobook.

The latest from the Congressional Ass-Kissing Caucus. I hope all of these bozos end up at the top of the ex-Congressman list in a couple of years.
10 1/2 mile hike took me a ridiculous 6 hours. The fact that I shot 300 photos probably has something to do with that.
A Mysterious Startup Is Developing a New Form of Solar Geoengineering
I don’t think we are very many years from some small government or large billionaire pulling the trigger on large-scale geoengineering. Whether that will be a good thing I have very little idea.
Commerce secretary: No one but ‘fraudsters’ would complain about missed Social Security check
I’m not sure how out-of-touch you need to be to think that elderly people living on Social Security can just wait a month for a skipped check to arrive, but Lutnick is that far out. Stupid or criminal.

Trump suggests sending Tesla vandals to El Salvador prisons
Or put another way, the increasingly lawless President wants to send American citizens to outsourced concentration camps overseas.
