I take my little "house" with me. I go places where there is no motel. I'm more secure in my trailer and comfy. It was a godsend when Covid erupted, I only had to stop for gas and groceries. I travel with a dog, and that can limit lodging choices. I'll stop when it becomes cost prohibitive and it isn't there .... yet.
Actually, my part of E. Warshington is quite lush and wet this spring. It's a banner year for wildflowers. Drove south last week and the wheat looks great. If they can survive the fuel and fertilizer costs, I predict that there will be lots of new pickups in farm country after harvest--unless it rains when the wheat is ripe. Farming is a gamble. Soon we'll see if the cherries get rained on. That's not good for ripe cherries.

Just finished watching. Overall well done. If DT is NOT prosecuted for his role in that insurrection then that would be a shameful chapter in our history. As a side note I'm not surprised that Fox was afraid to air the hearing as many of their viewers ,who only watch Fox, would hear the truth for the very first time and I'm sure that scared the crap out of them.
When I was a teen in LA I would sometimes see Ladybird Johnson with her full Secret Service detail. It was a good 14 or 15 years after her husband left office. 45 has already been impeached twice. I wonder by what mechanism his benefits as a former President can be revoked and he can be banned from ever becoming Dog Catcher or holing any other office that requires an oath. It will be 15 degrees hotter than normal here today.
Enough 10 years for the usda to move us down, warmer, in SE MN.It’s not your imagination, US summers are hotter than ever before
An alarming trend shows average temperatures have increased by at least 2F since 1970, with even higher spikes in the west and south-west
I haven't been following it. During my exile--I am a born and raised Warshingtonian, I lived at about 6000 feet in N. AZ. It hit 90 something degrees and what was hard about it, was that lakes were rare, and unlike here, you couldn't go much higher in elevation to get out of it. Of course, last year, the elevation relief was non existent and the lakes, I assume were probably mobbed. I stayed home and embraced the AC, going out occasionally to water the shrubs hoping to save them. I did.
I have a friend who owned a condo in the Phoenix area, and he recently sold it due to concern that water shortage will soon drive prices down. I suppose he also decided it was a good time to sell just because the market was crazy high at the time. He’s a realtor, so I’m sure he was watching home values very closely.
Uhhh, Trump and every other high level politician ever. Lying is a non-partisan activity.
Very true but you got to admit Trump takes to a level that is off the charts.
Yes, because the guy throws everyone under the bus who come close and he is totally unhinged from reality. How many Press Secretaries?
There is this thing called history. People will know the truth eventually.
Articles of faith make for a sense of belonging to a tribe. And for a belonging us, while making for an unfaithful 'them.' The more outlandish the stronger the effect. The clearer the lines then and the more warm fuzees of belonging and the more fear and hatred of the not us, thems. It is their fault, them, them, and them. At that point when confronted with information contradicting the articles, and being 'persecuted' for fidelity to the us, makes one a martyr and saint. The anger and hate of the others feels good and is addictive. Also to explain away facts make for ever more outlandish imagined scenarios to justify and make them fit with prior articles of faith.
