If they didn't break the law IDGAF.

And my taxes have not gone up--if anything they've gone down--so the "my tax dollars" rage seems a bit disingenuous.

Public appearances were all canceled,...

Hard to defend the indefensible

People who are complete dumbasses tend to do that.

Good on ya for that. I'm a believer in karma.

Gorveous evening on my favorite little river close to home.
...

Crazy rockslide off Hallett Peak in RMNP yesterday. Probably affect a lot of the bouldering in Chaos Canyon but who knows.
...

Looks very violent.

Shoulda tossed it in the garbage.

The way I understood the testimony yesterday, the armed protesters did not want to go through the metal detectors ("magnetizers"?) and have their weapons confiscated, so they mostly stayed outside...

Nixon never had the cultlike appeal of Trump, whose endless rhythmic lying causes a large number of people to turn off their brain and discount what they are seeing with their own eyes.

Funny to...

It was a turning point. Charge him with sedition and lock him up.

That sucks man, vibes. Hope you beat it and your career stuff works out.

Oh it's going to be extremely painful no matter what. Anybody who has been paying attention the past two years knows that.

Great news bunion. Demand destruction is the only way out of this mess.

^^Nice work.

I was just hiking but snapped a couple pics of riders on the CDT today between Rogers Pass and Flescher. Saw a couple bears too. Gorgeous day to be out....

Glacier is doing the same. I'm guessing they are seeing about 20 percent compliance.

Sure, as long as you live in it.

Some kids are just refuseniks. If it persists into the tween and teen years though I think you do have to push some, otherwise they don't do anything, and often they end up enjoying something once...

Only a fool would start or buy a business in a mountain town these days that requires any sort of low wage worker. Either staff it yourself and keep it very small, or forget it.

Fourth book by Taylor Jenkins Reid that I've read. Chick lit, don't knock it till you've tried it. :) She's good though. Nails it when it comes to marriage.

Sounds like MiddleofNight is living almost the exact plot of the book I'm reading.

Big Sky will refund your money due to injury if you make the request before the season starts.

Eventually those are the only people who will be left there, along with the trust funders and boomer retirees.

It's weird the amount of people who are absolutely fixated on living in Bozeman. I...

Sounds like it's mostly a parking issue, and the lift expansion is being blocked to force Vail to deal with that.

Could just be a summer thing.

Saw a story on the news last night about 40 Bobcat football players who went down and were shoveling muck and whatnot.

If looking for a cheaper car to tide you over... Try looking for a ~2012 Ford Escape 6 cylinder. I believe it can tow up to 3,500 pds. My wife has one we bought pre-pandemic for 9k with 80,000 miles....

The less stuff the better, right? [emoji3]

If you can smoke Lucky Strikes and still live to 95 then I'm pretty sure she would say it was worth it.

Vibes Harry, you're a good man.

I have several Osprey packs, from day to multiday size, with the ventilated back and I really like them.

Kind of reminds me of that chapter in Bonfire of the Vanities where the guy lists all his expenses living in NYC and says he's going broke on a million dollars a year. And that was a long time ago.
...

Below 18...headed for 17 every time I refresh. Crazy

You have to think are a lot of people who told themselves if BTC drops below 20k they're getting out. Curious to see what happens.

If it goes to zero I'm in.

Can't see that becoming reality. Roads are too expensive to maintain as it is, and they fall apart constantly.

Only for contacts or if I'm expecting a call from a non-contact.

93 degrees in Helena, Montana today. :)

+1. Just finished Harlem Shuffle. Sometimes uber-hyped writers disappoint, but Colson Whitehead is the real deal. I was impressed with his writing style and deft observations. Plus just the whole...

Helena Habitat for Humanity is organizing a group of volunteers to go to Red Lodge and help with general cleanup, after the emergency response winds down. They have some home projects being built...

Just watched that bit again like five times, I'm in tears. So classic. RIP to the man.

Lol. They're going to regret that.

Please this. Fuck those STR dipshits.

All the U.S. refineries are ancient and NIMBYism prevents new ones from being built. It's a big problem.

Also not sure increased renewables will lead to lower oil prices. There will be less...

We'll get mostly off fossil fuels in about 30-40 years. Maybe it will help slow humanity's contribution to the warming climate, but it won't stop the climate from warming.

And those subsidies are...

Awesome TR UM. I have great memories of Boundary Waters trips with my family and friends. A special place for sure.

Funny. I'm a first year Gen Xer and I think we had it amazingly good compared to millenials. Bought our first house in 2001 for 5% down plus closing costs. I think we needed like 13k cash to get into...

There are several local kayak clubs that organize occasional trips. We hooked up with one of them. Local knowledge really helps when it comes to timing the tidal currents up the East River and Harlem...

Nice job with the hand roll though.

Weird. I fly in and out of EWR every summer and it's always seemed fine to me. I actually think it's pretty decent as airports go.

Read the comments, it's crazy, people are totally stuck. Airlifts will be required for supplies and evacs. This is going to get a whole lot worse before it gets better.
