We've seen the turkeys again. There are two females walking around with young turkeys. Here we see the ladies, the youths have gone into the red twig dogwoods.
Now the ladies are leaving the neighbor's back yard. What they are oblivious to is that one youth is trapped behind that fence in a planting area, which you can see above. It flew to the top of the railing, lost its balance, and ended up on the other side of the fence. It was frantic, moving side to side, sticking it's head through the rungs and crying piteously. Mom kept walking. So, he'd already flown to the top of the railing, why did he not do that again? Jim walked over to see if there was a fence gate that would open and we could shoo the turkey out. The youth proceeded to fly up to the top of a 40 foot tree. So, young turkey's critical thinking skills do not appear to be that good.
Look dead center in the photo, Moms and three of the babies are leaving the trapped bird behind.
Today we rode up the Aubrey White parkway a bit, and then out towards a new to us trailhead, Morin. It was the site of the fire a couple of weeks ago, which was named the Aubrey fire. It was not large, but it was near part of the park where people can bring their horses and ride them there. I think it's a camp ground, I don't really know because we can't ride our bikes there, the horses do not like it. We've never gone out far enough to reach that trail head.
Fire damage to the trees.
Look at the ground, notice all the rock. This area is basalt central. The bluff in the distance is basalt, as well.
Here we are over looking the suspension bridge that one takes to see the Bowl and Pitcher rock formation. I couldn't see it, there seemed to be a lot of big rocks.
More burned area.
It was a good ride, the closer you get to Morin, the steeper it gets, so there is exercise to be had there.
So, what are we outraged about today?
RFKJr wants to get rid of the preventative services task force, they're too woke. These are the people that determine what cancer screenings are going to be covered by Medicare and other health insurance providers. So, I guess that's the end of colonoscopies and mammograms. This guy is a lunatic and a menace.
Apparently, there is a move afoot to return to the good old days where pre-existing conditions stopped a person from having coverage. Those were dark days when United Health Care would not cover a person if they'd had asthma, or acne, or a hang nail. MAHA.
As we all know, 47 is in Scotland, cheating at golf. He's opening a new course tomorrow I think, at tax payer expense. Protests follow him everywhere, with bagpipes.
The FCC approved the merger of Paramount+ and Skydance. That came about because they fired Steven Colbert, who 47 did not like. Shortly after that, Paramount+ paid $1.5B to the South Park creators for streaming rights of all the shows, and future shows. Shortly after that, the South Park writers started mocking 47 and his tiny penis. Here is the Satan scene which 47 really does not like.
Apparently 47 is not happy about any of this.
I don't think we're ever going to know much about 47 and what he did with Epstein. Prosecutors could just ask the women who were involved back then, but I guess that is too much to ask for.
I recently came across an article about how the tech bros want to take over the US via their dark enlightenment. It's worth reading.
That's it, that's all I've got.







At least the turkeys provide some humour. The news is not great, though I do love the Scottish welcome to IQ45.
ReplyDeleteYour ride looks interesting, especially the view from the suspension bridge.
Of course we know just what Trump's involvement was with Epstein's rape culture, he was there for it, he participated, he was big buddies with the guy, and the women have told us he raped them and abused them and threatened them. Now whether he will ever face charges, probably not. Not at least in this version of our government filled with sycophants whose only real job is to protect him.
ReplyDeleteAren't turkeys notoriously stupid birds? Your observations seem to verify that!
ReplyDeleteNothing Trump does or has done will matter unless his supporters develop the capacity to think critically, and sadly I don't see that happening.
It is so funny how the little one got stuck and the mom just walked away. It is sad to see the fire damage, but your bike ride looked like a good workout. The news about the preventative services task force is really worrisome; everyone deserves good healthcare. And it is so wild about the South Park creators and their new deal.
ReplyDeleteWe're having a terrible uncontrolled huge Fire at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon in our State, 100,000+ Acres burned and it's only about 9% contained. Started Naturally but they just let it burn and then it got out of hand and now that bad decision is clearing something they cannot now undo. Speaking of bad decisions, yes, this Administration is making a slew of them nonstop, I can barely keep pace and I think the Average American is completely screwed now. Turkey aren't very intelligent Birds.
