On a related note my Goodwill habit had a nice payoff. In a giant pile of junk I found an Alfred Ray Burrell etching of Half Dome. There is no image on the internet but he does have a permanent exhibit at FAMSF.
Cool. You could take it to an
ANtiques Road show.
How did you acquire all that junk?
I've gather some clothes bedding and books I haven't used for ages. To give to good will. It's stI'll hard to get rid od them. I'm a bit of a pack rat I think.
President Donald Trump announced plans to cut the park service’s budget by 12.9 percent in 2017
I disagree. the $2.55b budget Trump proposes is the largest ever with the exception of a one time spike in 2009. Our legitimate "disagreement" is over things like EPA overlap and new acquistions.
I think that Trump should be forced to live like an ordinary rich person,.like Rob

16F @ 9:30 with a high of 28F, Snow flurries.
Mid 49s and clear. Only a trace of smoke haze to the north and west.
Below 30F in the shed but up to almost 50F in a half hour. Still dressed like one of the Canadian fellers way up north. Got to get the skid steer ready and put some chains on it as we might get a little snow for Christmas! No more yard work!
Merry pre Christmas! :)

Anecdote: I had a bot of plastic surgery and they gave me some pain killers, I took one or 2 and it was ok. Later I looked at the bottle, and they had givendors me 50 of those opioid things. Why so many? Well, some people experience more pain.!.!.!.!
There you go.

You or a friend hunted it.

I don’t hunt. Lil Bro and I put 200 rounds through his new PK 9mm last week but bullets and Bambi don’t work for me.
Middle child coworker provided the burgers.
Just wondered how you knew he had 8 points
The vacuum sealed frozen block had all the information about the meat. Animal, region, date, etc. Very considerate. And yes, I am being very careful.

The fire seems to be mostly over with at this point, but I can still see some smoke out over the mountains. Probably backfires to clear out remaining fuel.
We're supposed to have highs in the mid to high 70s by mid-week.

In the I'm glad I didn't live then department. King Henry VIII's bed was basically straw. His minions jumped m up and dow on it to make sure it had no lumps and then put pads and sheets and blankets over it. The straw just had to have bugs.
Not to mention he died in great pain at 56.
The "condition" of his legs is far too gruesome to describe here. One wonders if the great houses had but a little more cleanliness.
BTW, considering his likely aliments 56 was a good run.
