When I lived in RI, many years ago (ex #1 was at Brown for MS), the main landfill was fast approaching being higher in elevation than the tallest point in the state, lol.

Will have to fly back here to drive it home after the guy’s next (and minor) surgery next week. Means more time with the bloom in CA - I’m not complaining.

I got a good night’s sleep last night too. In Pismo.
Bought a car yesterday - finally decided on a used Mini coupe (sporty car), the last year they were made. Used small EVs didn’t have the range to go to ABQ and back. This will tide me over. Will pick it up likely Thursday in Van Nuys.

A view of Providence Mountains and desert wildflowers from yesterday. Desert sunflower.

There’s a crap ton of Pentagon waste - I would like to see a more realistic set of spending rules for it and all other federal agencies.

Right hip.

Tbf, at the end of a long, sometimes hard mission, Marine kiddo and her mates got a steak and lobster dinner (and a trip to the DMZ). That seems to be somewhat standard.

The federal agency I work for is prohibited by law from providing us coffee, we pool money to buy it.

They don't even buy dish soap for the break room kitchen, employees have to donate that too.

Lol. NM has no tolls. They mixed up two states. It’s MVD in NM.

Spicy sky raisins, NOT for the win!

This is terrifying

AI strikes again. And fails, badly.

Surprisingly, being in Europe in the late 70s/early 80s (on military bases!) I did not pay as close attention to left wing terror orgs as I should have.

I bet she knows some - she’s quite the flower and wetland plant keyer (most of her career was wetland stuff before she retired)

Cool!

Apparently Georgia. Less expensive than a lot of others. The hardcore YouTube overlanders have super pricey ones. Which their subscribers are paying for, lol.

🤬
