Gdawg resting in peace next to her stepsister

💔 to be putting Gracie down tomorrow. She's around 19yrs old and was rescued 16-1/2 years ago. She's been deaf for 3yrs, had to retrain her with hand signals, but has been blind the last 7or8 months. She has noticeably gone downhill the past couple weeks. It's always so hard to make that decision.

#APS = Arizona Public Service in case you're wondering? It's our only Utility-Provider. So much for non-monopoly corporations for profit: Gotta love the United States apparently...

#APS butchered one of my pine trees, for their sake, and all I got out of it was higher utility-rates...

Did this last night Felt like broken in boots

Backyard monster

All time fave: Dimension Temple of Tone Bell -it's got the best ding!

It's true what they say about the worse day fishing is still better than the best day at work. Must have been accidental interaction on a time difference. #lakemary #noraz #orbs #goochmonsterphotos

From the backyard: Blue Sky at 7K' is easy to come by here. That twin-Ponderosa Pine is one of the tallest (oldest) in town. Mount Elden in the background. #noraz #goochmonsterphotos

In line for espresso-items at Lund Canyon Coffee: It just gets better every time. #lundcayoncoffee #goodcoffeeplace #ohtheirony #goochmonsterphotos

Seriosly #optimum I can't watch the rest of the game for $150/ month?

Norovirus remains to be the number one pathogen implicated in Foodborne Illness and is typically spread to Ready To Eat (RTE) foods through barehand contact by ill employees which is why minimizing barehand contact with RTE foods, using gloves, utensils, or other barriers is required by the FDA.

After decades of cars hitting wildlife on the I-17 Interstate coming into Flagstaff they're finally building a wildlife overpass thanks to the Biden Administration's Infrastructure Bill. We need at least one more at the top of the Mogollon Rim on I-17 but unfortunately Our House needs a ballroom.

A little barbless-hook catch & release.

I don't want my taxes spent on this kind of bullshit: This does nothing to protect Americans, has nothing to do with science, demonstrates not only the politicization of our govt. agencies but that RFK jr is a fraud. Shame on the GOP who are in control of both the Legislative, & Executive Branches!

Yesterday's 24 hour rainfall total from Cyclone Priscilla. 1.35" was from overnight.

Happy World Environmental Health Day! I only mention it cause that's what I did as a career for 26 years. Don't inject bleach or ingest chloroquine as treatments for Covid, Vaccines/Tylenol don't cause autism, and raw milk is still being implicated in STEC (Shiga toxin-producing E. Coli) infections.

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that neutering the FDA & CDC puts the entire US population at risk.

More blue sky going and a raven keeping watch #goochmonsterphotos

youtu.be/kdGZjw1DHek Chupacabras 100k mountain bike race: Juarez MX 2012. I was intent on ditching two riders that had been dogging me for 9 miles and after this, with about 20 miles to go, I never saw them again. It was shocking how many racers were happy to just walk 5-7+% grades.

Turns out frisbee golf is way more challenging with the backyard obstacles.
