I walked through downtown Portland, Oregon last week and didn’t see anything burning.
Trump: "I look the other night, Saturday night, Portland is burning to the ground and these people are saying it's just friendly stuff. The whole place is burning to the ground. So we'll take care of that one. That's like an insurrection more than it is anything else. Portland is crazy."

Stuff like this gives me hope.
For the first time in more than 100 years, Chinook salmon have been spotted at the confluence of the Sprague and Williamson rivers in Chiloquin, the government seat of the Klamath Tribes in Southern Oregon.
Salmon clear last Klamath dams, reaching Williamson and Sprague rivers
Just a year after four dams were removed, a group of fall Chinook have migrated nearly 300 miles into the Upper Klamath Basin.

Why is banning books dangerous?
Of course it's an attack on the freedom of speech, expression, and academic freedom. But let's go a bit deeper and ask ourselves, why would book banners feel the need to control speech, art, and academic freedom?

It’s been an interesting week of music for me. Saw Scene Queen with Deadlands and Girli on Tuesday, worked a show with a jazz band on Wednesday. Ran sound and lights for St. Terrible last night. Currently on the way to see Dropkick Murphys and Bad Religion tonight. #livemusic #supportmusicans

Attorney general: ‘Everyone is Welcome Here’ sign cannot be displayed in Idaho schools
The sign violates a new law that prohibits the display of flags or banners in public K-12 schools that display a political viewpoint, according to an opinion released late Friday.

An awesome story about how solar microgrids kept the power on during Puerto Rico's latest blackouts.

The Central Idaho fire season clock is reset for a week or two due to widespread snow at middle and higher elevations. This _should_ push us back to a more normal timeline for fire season ramp-up.
