Sunrise and bald eagles on the Bethine Church Nature Trail portion of the Boise River Greenbelt in SE Boise, Monday am Jan 12. 25 degrees.

Watched the first Idaho Reports show on Ch 4 where they discussed the upcoming legislative session and the budget shortfall. No mention at all about tax increases or even repealing some of the tax cuts enacted last session. The state will remain underfunded.

12.5% of the SF Giants 40-man roster are less than 6’ tall. #mlb And you thought football players were big. #xxlhumans

Of course the dude driving the CyberTruck on Front St through downtown was texting. It would be news if he wasn’t.

The Venezuelan Army is just going to let Elon and DOGE into the country to “run” it????

Watching “A Night To Remember” (1958), about the sinking of the Titanic. Seems appropriate.

I feel the need to repeat this: Impeach Convict Remove Try Convict Imprison

Please excuse my french

Today!

Finished all 6 seasons (89 episodes) of Vikings on Netflix. Very good. Lots of sex and violence. Also made clear the futility of religion. Neither the Norse gods Odin, Thor, etc. nor the English Christian god gave a rats ass for the people. In the 9th century, you were screwed.

Hulu, for example, is NOT a bank. I shouldn’t have to get a six digit code to logon. I shouldn’t get six digit passcodes by email. They should ONLY be sent by text. Daily rant about the internet complete ✅. Back to your normal routine.

Season 3 of The Diplomat on Netflix was excellent. Great writing and acting. Not sure people really talk like that to each other in the workplace. That wouldn’t fly with me.

The Season 1 final episode of Pluribus on Apple TV was a humongous disappointment. I’m getting to the point that if you can’t tell your story in a two hour movie, then I’m not interested.

It’s a springlike day here in SE Boise. Partly cloudy, breezy, 59 degrees.

Make America Antifascist Again

The parking lot 🅿️ at Winco downtown Boise was pretty full Monday afternoon. You’d think there was a holiday coming up.

Solstice, schmolstice. The Longest Day is always June 6th. Possibly also the longest movie.

#IdahoEscape #pets On this date in 2015 Boomer came to live with us. Then and now photos.

I would like to comment on Ex-Gov (NJ) Chris Christy’s appearance on CNBC on behalf of sports books, claiming that prediction markets are “illegal”, but A. I don’t have time B. I don’t want the F B I breaking down my door after I give my opinion of that gas bag.

Bumper sticker on M Benz SUV today: “Make America Kind Again” MAKA Isn’t that the bare minimum?

I haven’t admitted defeat, but following the plot is a challenge.

It only took two ads to know what Bucked Up is. Does the world really need another energy drink? Does the world really need ANY energy drinks? Go Broncos! #BoiseState

Go Broncos! #BoiseState

I really don’t need dozens of accounts here explaining something that I know. “Venezuela is about oil, not drugs” “killing fishermen is murder” etc, etc.

We're simply pointing out there's a historical precedent...

If I’m boycotting a corporation, business, organization, or person over their giving in to the current regime on issues such as DEI , immigration or trans, in 2030 when we have a real President, I’m NOT coming back. No forgiveness.

All The Light We Cannot See (2023), a 4 episode series on Netflix was fabulous. 10/10 From the book by Boise author Anthony Doerr.

Tomorrow, Black Friday, I’ll walk to the locally owned small business coffee shop as usual and I might make a quick stop at a grocery store but otherwise I’ll be home not shopping.

SISU (2022) from Finland on Hulu was excellent. The SS had their own theme music and it was nothing you would have heard during WW2. 10/10

Thanksgiving dinner was a little more entertaining than usual. One guest had 3 beers pre-arrival. The other was convinced we have always kept the trash under the kitchen sink on the left side and why is it on the right this year. #30yearsontheright I’m gonna watch a Finnish movie, now.

I was distracted by The Epstein Files and got the turkey breast in the oven 10-minutes late.⏰

Thanksgiving Day starting off with a power outage in SEBoise wasn’t in my plans. Just got a text saying power would be restored about 10:30am MST. (first text said 11:30)

Half an hour ago: 85 minutes to get from the Flying Wye to Nampa. #I84 I’ll be home until next week……

Israel’s agents got Eichmann out of Argentina. Trump couldn’t get Bolsonaro out of Brazil. #fail

Sen. Mark Kelly would have my support for President in 2028 even if he wasn’t married to Gabby Giffords. He isn’t listed on the most popular “prediction market” website or I’d have bet on him.

In Apple Maps you can type in the three letter symbol for an airport and it knows. BOI = Boise airport USH = (you try it)

Going to war v Venezuela without Congressional approval would be an impeachable offense.

Abolishing ICE is only the beginning. Have you looked at your local cops? .. According to mappingpoliceviolence.us, police kill at least three people per day; from a meta analysis published in NYT, we now know the number could be six or even more.

I might be wrong but it looks like if BSU wins next week and Fresno State loses, BSU would play San Diego State for the conference championship.

Dear BlueSky, Please fix your video playback problem. Ffs. It’s 2025 and 4/5.

Sunday am 11/23/25 on the Boise River greenbelt, Bethine Church Nature Trail, SE Boise. Maybe I’ll call them Bob and Emily. iykyk #IdahoEscape #photos

Was watching Fort Apache (1948) on TCM and waited for the Apaches to kick Henry Fonda’s character’s ass, before switching over to the BSU game. He deserved it, the men who died with him did not. Then John Wayne’s character covered it up.

So, I open the App Store app to update the Bluesky app. Type Bluesky in the search bar. What is the first thing I see? What’s App. They are doing everything possible to make me move somewhere where there is no internet.

TIL that some think that the Frankenstein story is about failed parenthood. I always thought it was about bad people doing science. (What do I know?) The new movie version on Netflix by G. Del Toro (2025) is really very good.
