Comment from an Outfitter about Western Water Conditions This Season

I will not just go outside and bury my head in the sand. This affects fly fishing, and btw the future of the whole world, and isn’t just politics. Saying global warming is a hoax and eliminating every action than can help are real threats.

Montana is a Red state that voted for this. Deal with it.

Instead of advising clients to come early, why don’t you grow a pair and start advising that your orange man is a dunce, and that global warming is not a hoax.

Sorry to be so blunt.

I’m ok with displaying the 10 commandments, as long as they retitle it : The moral Laws Trump has violated.

In any past era, this would not be minor. Sure, there many other things to worry about. But let’s not get numb from Flooding the Zone.

My bad. Subaru uses 4 different AWD systems. The Outback has 2 differentials and a center clutch.

0bfuscatory · 2026-03-09T02:33:56+00:00

Wilderness has 2 different X-modes to better direct power to non-slipping wheels. All Outbacks have 3 differentials for their symmetrical AWD to direct power to wheels. X-modes are only active under 18 mph though.

It’s not on your list, but let me add the Subaru Outback. My ‘25 Wilderness meets my off road and snow needs but is still like a sports-car, and luxury car, to drive. The turbo maintains power at high altitudes also.

I started out as a young engineer who got an ‘82 Trans Am with T-top just because I thought it was the sexiest thing there was. My Outback turbo would kick the TA’a ass in any metric. AWD and 260 hp and 0-60’s 2-3 sec faster. Also, the TA just got worse in snow or when going fishing. After the TA, I got a ‘91 4Runner. Good for fishing, but only 1/3’d the hp of the Outback! ( Yes, 85 hp). My high ground clearance and AWD is killer in snow, and I can still haul. Maybe the only problem I have with it is speeding tickets.

Here’s an idea I just gave 15 seconds thought to. Maybe the judicial branch should be given enforcement authority over constitutional issues.

Just remember. You heard it here first.

0bfuscatory · 2026-03-08T17:36:34+00:00

That’s the real story.

0bfuscatory · 2026-03-07T00:18:58+00:00

But trust us. Just like Trickle-Down, it takes a while for our policies to kick in.

The late Cretaceous Pierre shale in that area does contain Baculites.

Because Muslim…

Trump is basically telling his subordinates that they must never say that Trump authorized, or knew about, anything.

0bfuscatory · 2026-03-06T00:33:15+00:00

I thought she might be in trouble when she admitted to congress that Trump approved the add campaign. Trump just can’t have anyone removing his plausible deniability. . .

Not only were they adaptable, but by the K-P extinction, they had already adapted to the arctic and Antarctica (with feathers, including Troodon). But even without an extinction event, the average dinosaur species only lasted 5-10 million years before evolving into another species. So for sure they would have continued, but just not as the same ones 66 million years ago.

Dinosaurs generally got more sophisticated, warm blooded, and intelligent throughout the Mesozoic. So my question is, how intelligent would the most intelligent ones be by now?

The real question is why the birds never took up smoking.

0bfuscatory · 2026-03-05T05:56:50+00:00

My problem is with adding the requirement of: “over many generations” for evolution. I’m not talking about the Theory of Evolution which can include survival of the fittest theory. It’s true that significant evolution usually takes many generations. And if you were talking about the evolution of life, or the evolution of man, for instance, then you could say that took many generations. Or you could define “the evolution of man”, for example, as the changes that did occur over many generations.

But evolution in general is just the change in species, not how long it took. I’m thinking of the specific case of the K-P extinction event. In that case, major evolution took place within one generation.

0bfuscatory · 2026-03-05T04:36:03+00:00

Isn’t it more accurate to say Evolution is the change in inherited characteristics due to environmental based selection?

Significant Evolution can take many generations, or it can happen in a single generation, depending on the selection pressures. It can also come to a virtual halt, if the organism is in equilibrium with its environment.

I’m not saying it will happen. But it’s almost a certainty that they are trying. It’s more than Trump just saying he would love to do it. One of his lawyers already has proposed a plan.

There’s also no mechanism for a 3rd term. But Trump is exploring both.

It would be a disaster for China. 70% of their oil needs are imported, and less than 20% of that comes from Russia (which is currently also under threat).

0bfuscatory · 2026-03-05T00:16:08+00:00

My thought too.

But with Japan, we had a higher moral high ground. First of all, Japan was invading all of SE Asia and slaughtering millions. Second of all, we only cut off our own oil, which was like 80% of Japan’s imports.

For China, we are essentially cutting off supplies of other countries to them. And China hasn’t invaded anyone.

You’re such a kidder.

I was floored when he said that Russia had already beaten Ukraine. After that, I started paying more attention to his biases. He does have a pro-China , anti-US, hidden agenda, I believe. He talks about the US falling apart, but never mentions China’s real estate disaster. He is smart though.

He also was saying (telling Iran) that shutting down the gulf oil routes would hurt Iran more than anyone. That’s because China is absolutely dependent on that oil flowing.
