No Trespassing sign on fence at Philmont Scout Ranch

No Trespassing sign on fence at Philmont Scout Ranch

Today we drove along 140,177-acre Philmont Scout Ranch en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philmon.... Forest devastation from 2018 wildfire is still very much evident.

We saw mule deer but, sadly, none of the working ranch's ponies burros (or cows, bison.

Good evening from Central Time Zone. Made it to Black Mesa State Park, OK Panhandle.

There's a fire ban due to high winds.

They're working on the plumbing.

No problem for us since we have our own turlet, sink, stove/oven in camper.

No sign of the deer, yet.

Return of fallen troops:

Trump visited a Delaware air base Saturday for the dignified transfer of six US service members killed in the conflict.

Good afternoon, again. Potty stop in Des Moines, NM

Across from gas station is the long vacant, pink, Freedom School, a hotel bought by a woman from Wyoming in 1990s. She & her kids lived there. She homeschooled, eventually, incorporated as private school

When I lived in Tilles Park Nabe. kids from Joan of Arc School were turning into thuggy little shits. Graffiti & plant vandalism were blamed on Black & Brown kids who road buses to use πŸ€ court and practice soccer. We would catch JOA kids doing harm and parents would say they'd never left house. 😑

Evidence Grows That Google's AI Overviews Have Eviscerated the Media Industry Google's AI overviews have eviscerated the media landscape, with some top publications losing up to 97 percent of their web traffic.

For the first 15ish years of my career, the success of my stories was measured largely (or entirely) on page views. I’m embarrassed to admit that I still remember the first time one of my stories passed 1m clicks. I was proud! Now we’re hurtling into a post-click future futurism.com/artificial-i...

Elon Musk's net worth went up $187 BILLION in 2025.

In the same year, Trump illegally took $1,700 in taxes out of your pocket, cut $1 trillion from Medicaid, and doubled your health care costs.

Good afternoon from Angel Fire NM, a ski resort community that had little snow this winter and small biz is really hurting.

We are having a tasty lunch at Thai Angel.

Have not seen Johnny Depp, who fancies the place, we are told.

I wish this were true at the lake. Aside from people in the COVID/Biden/Harris pod, neighbors just get more committed to MAGA. Iran, in their opinion, is about fighting Islam and preparing Israel for Jesus. They actually hope Trump sends troops. Wars are seen as opportunities for young people. Sigh.
