CAL FIRE recently supported the Wailaki Tribe in securing a rare old-growth redwood log. Tribal members will carve it into a traditional canoe, once used for travel and trade, to feature at a multi-Tribal gathering celebrating culture and connection.

This UCLA CA freeway project devastation study is very clear and informative... and the harms are very deep and awful. Worth at least a few minutes of your time.
An amazing amount of work went into this bsky.app/profile/ucla... study/report/infomaps, etc on the damaging legacy of racist highway construction in communities and cities up and down the state.

Currently Reading! Above the Battle by Munro, one of supposedly only 2 books on AOP pilots in WW2. As a fan of FAC and FO books in the Vietnam War, I'm curious how this will stack up. The author did not finish the book before he died, so his family stepped in to fill in the blanks and polish it up

That head bob isn’t a dance move — it’s a signal.
During hoist-rescue training, CAL FIRE crews use big, clear motions so pilots know exactly when a firefighter is off the line and the aircraft is clear to lift.
Training like this keeps our teams sharp and ready for real rescues.

For my Master's thesis, my most important finding was America's traditional asymmetric advantages enjoyed over China, being technological superiority and experience, will almost cease to exist over the next 15 years, but more impactful ones will endure!
Many reasons to hope.
Lets talk about it.
