Roaming the trails of Kitsap County, Washington. Interested in land and wildlife conservation.
I feed this old possum behind an outbuilding every evening. Lately, if I'm late, she comes up on our deck and sticks her snout in the camera.

This is called "freedom" and it's pissing off the new Commissars who believe that artists must perform at the State's command
Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

Mango and Basil each got a toy fishie for Christmas. When Basil tried to play with his, Mango punched him in the eye and took it. He's been sitting on both fishies for an hour and glaring at us. Merry Christmas, my orange turd.

Spent a cold morning at the Hansville Greenway, clearing trees from trails with a couple other volunteers. That's Art Ellison with the chain saw. He's volunteered at the Greenway for over 30 years!

Chimacum Ridge Community Forest, newly opened to the public. Jefferson Land Trust bought this property on Washington State's Olympic Peninsula from a developer, and put it into conservation. #forestfriday

Hansville Greenway in Kitsap County, Washington. The trail follows the bed of an old narrow-gauge railway once used by loggers to move timber. Thanks to dedicated community members, this land is now in conservation.

I aspire to find something that pleases me as much as Mango getting a chin massage.
Happy caturday to all who celebrate.

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.

The neighborhood cat and resident possum scampering through the yard. I wouldn't call them friends, but they are often in the same vicinity.

Mango has romantic feelings for Drew's flip flops. Drew finally gave them to him.

From a hike I took in 2022 on the Tubal Cain trail on the Olympic Peninsula. It's a strange & beautiful one. The trail passes an abandoned mine, and a debris field from a long ago B-17 plane crash. The lower trail is gorgeous this time of year, flanked by rhododendrons.

Attended protests in Bainbridge Island and Seattle yesterday. Got weepy when people began singing "This Land is Your Land" as we headed to the Seattle Center. Both events were entirely peaceful, and Seattle was notable for the number of people offering free water & snacks.
