Nowadays all the small farms are run by hedge funds. Sorry. Not.

An easier hike would be from planpraz to flegere where you can take the gondola back down to town.Take the tram to the top of the Aiguille du Midi, then the cable car across the Vallee Blanche to...

On a totally unrelated note--getting ready to hike up to Donner Peak, ran into 2 through hikers at the trailhead, looking confused at their phones. They started to head off south on Soda Springs...

Sierra Watch et al and Alterra have reached an agreement and the law suit has been dropped.https://www.sierrawatch.org/news/

A lot of small farms supply food lockers, community kitchens and the like. With cuts to these organizations from Our Leader some of these farms are going to be hurting. I was watching an interview...

Well apparently Pink Floyd hadn't heard of Galileo and Copernicus.

When the Tahoe area was first surveyed they mostly relied on natural features to describe boundaries, apparently most of which cannot be identified today. The general consensus is that the surveying...

It also alerts the cyclist behind you. Not all of this leave everyone else in the dust.

Theyre putting the porta potties out at Donner Lake. Shits getting real.

4 year college is less about education and more about being a bridge to adulthood for those of us in the middle and upper classes who didn't learn adulting in our first 18 years. The kind of lessons...

I would like to point out that the CC route worked out for Aaron Rogers. (Although it's not clear what actual education he got at Cal.)

What I'm reading is that the guy was living in his car and was pissed because firefighters had asked him to move the car. No history to suggest anything political.

College is absurdly overpriced, both based on the actual cost of teaching undergraduates and based on value gained for many students. As far as the cost of teaching--the low cost of community...

As long as we're on the topic of Northern Idaho and the AN--

My wife and I had the pleasure of having dinner with Utah and his wife and he assured us that every single word of the...

I wasn't familiar with the AN thing either, so I googled it. The site I found was the NY Post, which had this gem of a paragraph:
Sunday’s killer ambushed firefighters after deliberately...

Reading about airport food today. All the chains--Starbucks, McDonalds, et al are owned and operated by the airports single contract concessionaire who licenses the brands. So if you think...

Responding to LSL's post--walking the dog this morning, watching a bunch of folks doing their defensible space and realizing that they're leaving the most dangerous fire threats which are the houses....

Maybe we should open a theme park where the the armed crazies can face off against each other--they can have all the fun of killing (or being killed) and leave the rest of us alone.

I'm pretty sure you can shoot them if their technical gear smells bad.
New question--which is better, technical or tactical?

If crying kids bother you definitely avoid Jet Blue in the summer. Take the kids to see the olds season but I don't know why it's worse on JB. Actually, don't fly in the summer unless you absolutely...

Goths, not moths. As in nice people who want you to think they're not.

What is "technical fabric"?

Book seats for your kids at least 5 rows away and on the other side of the aisle. Aisle seat if possible so they can run up and down the aisle during meal service.

Firefighters ambushed and killed responding to brush fire near Coeur d Alene.https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/29/us/coeur-dalene-idaho-shooter

Large gathering of goths outside twisted smoke shop in sacto this evening, not sure the occasion. Seems like heavy black clothes are a bad idea on 100F days. Goths should be allowed to wear white...

I like your doc.

How many months--please translate into English from [TRG]Pretty standard. Doesn't affect what you do next. I don't recall if this was your first DVT--if so I would treat arbitrary length of time,...

God put our assholes where we can't see them for a reason.

Probably no use to you this late, but there are a couple of good hotels--one with a good restaurant and one next door to one--just outside the Milan airport.

I didn't need to read that.

I never ask for help at Ace unless I can't find it myself after a thorough search. That's the way you find out about the great stuff you never knew existed or never dreamed Ace carried.

Don't use soap on your asshole. Soap is basic, asshole likes acid. And don't scrub, especially with a washcloth. Google pruritis ani. Once you get an itchy asshole you will have a tough time...

Do you have low mileage coverage? If you don't drive it much that can lower the rate more. Obviously the reason the liability only coverage isn't that much cheaper is that liability is the big...

The selection of miscellaneous hardware at Truckee Mountain Hardware (Ace). In the little drawers above the standard stuff. In little drawers in a carousel. In little bins all over the place. I...

I don't recall ever using my middle name for an international plane ticket. Maybe I've been lucky.

When I move in space I imagine I am grasping the fine ass of the beautiful woman ahead of me on said sidewalk.

I'll smoke whatever you're smoking.

Alex Hoeft, who is a reporter for Moonshine Ink, shared a byline this morning in the NYT, on a story about the drownings at Tahoe. She's written some good stories in MI. Gift article...

An option for sinks far from the tankless heater is an electric point of service heater under the sink. I wish I had room under my kitchen sink for one.

Caught 6 mice in the last week. On the plus side I figured out the best place to put the trap.

When I finished residency and started making the big bucks in surgery my financial goal was to make enough per hour that it paid me to have a mechanic work on my car instead of doing it myself. It...

We wound up with a few short-lived patches of snow on the ground. We've had snow in June before but not this late.

With a local contractor and only one lumber yard in town, when I ordered something for an addition they asked who the contractor was and they told me they loved him. I suppose one could find out...

Snow flurries in Truckee at the moment. There is now officially more snow here this June than there was in January. 6 flakes is more than 0.

I thought that was a typo, not a wrong question. I would have given it to him.

4 strong lines vs McDavid and Draisaitl together and then pray the next 3 shifts. Who could have predicted it.

To bring this thread around to its original purpose, the drunk meltdown was at LaGuardia.

I drove manuals only for decades. No way would I go back to that for a daily driver., especially now with CVT. I get it if you're a car guy and can afford a second car for fun driving, but in...
