This winter I've been driving places to go Peak Bagging with Leroy the Dog. Two hours south of Albuquerque and just south of Socorro NM, we climbed 3 peaks 1800 feet of vertical gain. It was sunny and the air was clean and beautiful. Leroy is a wonderful dog, but he's maybe a little older now, and so am I. We have had to cut it to 3 peaks over 7 miles. We used to do almost twice that. He's very gung ho, looking around for animals and watching them run. Leroy's big on rabbits. We saw giant...

Nobody dared contradict the doctor. I don't think anyone considered the statement inaccurate. Of course, it was completely false. As we end one year of pandemic and begin the next one that will undoubtedly also be marred by the effects, direct and indirect of the SARS-CoV-2 virus,...
In a stunning move, Twitter Inc has announced the "Permanent suspension of @realDonaldTrump." The President who came to power using Twitter to communicate with his base without going through the main stream media, leaves power just 11 days after Twitter kicked him out. The carefully crafted release at www.twitter.com seems to be saying that Mr. Trump's tweets lead directly to the events at the US Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021. This despite the fact that Trump's actual tweets did not directly...
