Photo inside the chapel building on the Eisenhower Presidential Library site in Abilene, Kansas. The entombed remains of the president and his wife are in the foreground with a small waterfall and reflection pool behind them at the has of a stone wall. There’s a quote on the wall, flanked by the US flag & Kansas state flag. The Eisenhower quote reads: “Humility must always be the portion of any man who receives acclaim in blood of his followers and sacrifices of his friends.”

Behind and above the stone wall is a large wooden cross and a stained glass window

Photo of the Eisenhower statue located on the grounds of the Eisenhower Presidential library in Abilene Kansas. The president is captured during his time as a five star general and is wearing his dress uniform, standing with his hands on his hips. The pedestal of the statue is four sided and each side has inscriptions etched into the stone. At the base of the statue is a circular stone area with five large stars which signify his status as a five star general. Behind the statue is a large grass field lined with trees. The sun is out and the blue sky is cloudless.

Drove across country last fall & happened to pass through Abilene, KS where the library is located. On a whim, I decided to visit in hopes of reminding myself what a good president was like. Would recommend taking the time & visit if in the area.

They aired Neal’s argument before the court leading up to the presser and it was interesting to see him repeatedly cite the sitting justices own opinions in support of his positions. Hard for them to wiggle out from their previously argued positions. Very smart.

I wouldn’t consider this a primary line of defense but I added one of these when I replaced my furnace. Supposedly this ionizes particles weighing them down and thus more susceptible to being captured by your HVAC filter. a.co/d/0ipHm2M0

This is such bullshit and Trump 2.0 has lived up to everyone’s anxiety. Even without this rule change, the public has been cut out using CEs & other cheats. Thankfully some FS Supervisors have chosen to still engage the public even when legally not required.

Everyone willingly working for this administration has the worst character traits. They all get their chance to treat others with distain and belittling in whatever role they perform.

Photo looking skyward of an old growth Sugar Pine tree inside Unit 330 from the proposed Buckeye project located in the Tiller Ranger District of the Umpqua National Forest in southern Oregon. There are other trees, of various sizes visible as well and the sunshine is is dappled through the forest’s canopy.

Oh, man, I’m so sorry. I had realized recently that I hadn’t seen any of his posts in awhile. I appreciated his tenacity and sharing of posts from others working on the same issues.

5 or 6’ long metal digging / pry bar from Lowe’s / Home Depot. The metal will have some weight so just hold it vertically a few inches above the ice and bring it down into the ice. Should start to break it up

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice In Chains.

IYKYK. Only made this one album but it’s incredible.

Considering these replanted stands are carbon negative for the first 10-20 years, absolutely.

Resign from Dem leadership. The times have passed you by and the world of today no longer has the “norms and values” of 20 years ago where your mind still resides.

This is for those who prefer citations/data over talking points. Evan Frost and I unpack how “sustainable forestry” has become a shield for carbon loss & habitat destruction.
