It was 53Β° with gusty winds when I drove to work earlier, just before sunrise. I'm no great lover of winter, but none of this weather in NoCo feels correct!

Overnight this aircraft completed its deportation trip to India. The migrant passengers were likely shackled for at least 59 hours.

Color photograph. A black and white kitten wearing a black and white camo suit is looking at a black suitcase. The super floofy gray tail of a cat is seen poking out of the suitcase as the kitten looks on curiously.

A Pilot Fired Over Kristi Noem’s Missing Blanket and the Constant Chaos Inside DHS Secretary faces fire for confrontational immigration crackdown and self-promotional style; White House to wind down Minnesota operations.

Just to keep it straight ...

It's Trump's Secretary of Homeland Security who's allegedly having a barely concealed affair with her married aide who tried to fire a Coast Guard pilot for not turning their luxury jet around mid-flight to go back and get her blankie ...

This one hits home - I work at Denver Center, though not in the area that worked the flight in question. You did a fantastic job with this, and I'll definitely be reading more of your work in my downtime.

Maaaan. The drive from Stovepipe to Furnace Creek ethos morning was nothing but billions of flowers. Literally. Only been out in this for an hour today and I dare say this is rivaling the 2004 superbloom.
