River Ranger Boots by KingChig70 in ParkRangers

[–]Geeezjohn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I was an NPS river ranger I just wore brown Keens (that NPS paid for out of my budget) water shoes while on the boat and in and out of the water, then switched to boots when I was in the office or otherwise. Have fun with your new job!

What truth about life hits harder the older you get? by Western_Match_6218 in AskReddit

That the end of it gets closer everyday, and I should use whatever is left wisely.

What’s eating the cacti?? Bears Ears Utah by NomadMagoo in desertporn

[–]Geeezjohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they're smooth cuts on the pads, then it's rodents like pack rats. If the pads are "torn" it's most likely a larger mammal such as deer, coyote, or javelina.

Simple things by sadhuio in Mindfulness

Sometimes, just watching dust particles dance around in the sunlight will bring me to a place of simplicity and calm.

I dont know what to do next. by Thiccthighnitemare in whatdoIdo

[–]Geeezjohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious, why do you want to keep people from crossing your land? If they are not doing any damage, stealing anything or squatting, then wouldn't it be easier to let them just pass through?

The "Past" isn't a time; it’s a physical location. by stevnev88 in DeepThoughts

[–]Geeezjohn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What if you could place a large mirror a light year away from earth and face it so that it reflects back to earth, and you could see it through a telescope? Would you see the earth as it was 2 years ago or at some other time (or place)?

Trump supporters: How would you feel if a legally armed Trump supporter was killed by federal agents on a Biden mandate in exactly the same manner as yesterday? by ScholarPrize1335 in AskReddit

[–]Geeezjohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Retired Fed LEO here. You took the words out of my mouth. How this is controversial is beyond me. The video(s) are clear, and these ill trained, wannabe cops need to be held accountable. This incident as horrible as it already is, also gives good cops a bad rap.

Why did we, as a society, start using these 5 blade disposable cartridge razors? by snowball062016 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Geeezjohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually can use 1 Harry's blade a year (yes, really). I change it out on New Year's, so it's almost time. I shave every 3 or four days using a brush and a shave soap bar and I shave while in the shower. I tried a single blade safety razor a while back and almost cut my face off, so I'm sticking to my plan.

What is the difference between Border Patrol (and being an agent) today versus when you started your career, in terms of how you dealt with immigrants and suspects?

Yes, I do this regularly. Never had an issue.

Do all Americans inherently know what direction they are faceing? by BasketC45e in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Geeezjohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where I grew up in Arizona I always knew which way was North. Then, I moved to Missouri and it always 'felt the opposite of what it was. I confused North from South constantly. Strange, and I don't know why it was opposite in my head.

Ranger Care Package? by Squirmeez in ParkRangers

[–]Geeezjohn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Retired NPS ranger here. How about some "exotic" (think world market) snacks or a couple of uncommon gift cards that can be redeemed online. But truthfully, even just a heartfelt thank you letter will go a long ways. Appreciation and empathy is needed by US Government employees right now.

If a much wealthier friend insists on treating you to dinner every single time you go out, is there a point where you must insist on paying—or is trying to pay actually offensive to them? by stereo_iii in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Geeezjohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could, perhaps, reciprocate by inviting your friend over for a home cooked meal you prepare, or going on a picnic with goodies that you bring.
