So very sad to see the doors close at Rogue and Pike #brewing this week. I have a lot of really good memories tied to those joints over the decades!

RIP

A7: Remote always makes me think of the vastness of Southern Utah (especially Escalante and Bears’ Ears). So many opportunities to get way out there, and the inherent risk of maybe being lost forever!

My daughter had a garlic growing project in school this semester, and she has given me part of the remnants - a bowl of individual cloves, each weighed in grams to 3 significant figures.

I’d better get cooking!

This CA house apparently photoshopped zebras into its pictures to help it sell?

A8: I found this amanita muscaria today in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, which apparently shuts down RNA synthesis? Yikes!

There were a few stems where something definitely ate these.

Happy to have a horticulturist in the family so that we can take these giant onions and turn them into bourbon-caramelized deliciousness!

Saw this nigella damascena (Love in a Mist) at the farm, where it’s being grown for flower arrangements.

I love it!

A7 #parkchat The flood of 2022 on the Gardiner River in #Yellowstone was so severe that the road STILL looks like this.

A7 #parkchat Stoneflies on the Gardiner River! Remarkable given how severe and disruptive the flood of ‘22 was on this ecosystem. 3-yr life cycle for these little beauties, right on time.

Technically, I broke my back on this trip, but that’s another story 😬

A2: I was astonished to see how many different animal tracks were in the mud around Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone! Look at these things!

Nice video - blew up fast! The air quality index shows where the smoke is headed:
