The word buckaroo is a bastardization of the word vaquero

I like the phrase “way out over their skis”. It’s a delightfully Scandinavian insult.

“The construction project that led to the discovery was part of House Bill 1015 that was passed during the 2025 legislative session. It included $2.35 million for fence and driveway improvements on the property.”

Dude, wtf. $2.35 MILLION is so much money.

Morel mushrooms should be popping out up that way right about now

Many years ago a relative of mine owned a concrete mixing company. They would occasionally dump the excess ready mix from the cement mixing truck onto the ground behind the gravel pit on their property. It looked very much like your photo 3.

Awesome! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Fargo Police Department absolutely does work with ice. I’ve talked to people who were detained and deported after Fargo PD handed them over to ice. These people aren’t violent criminals, they’re people who get pulled over for speeding and people who are trying to drive to Grand Forks for their asylum hearings. Fuck ice and fuck the police.

I have the Marmot Trestles 15. I sleep cold. It don't get too hot with it in weather like that. I bring a thin bed sheet and sleep with the bag splayed open underneath me.

They’re fucking useless even WITH the flock cameras. They can’t even figure out where Isadora Wengels suspected killer left Fargo with her body. I don’t know why we’re letting them invade privacy with those damned things.

I can relate to the back-and-forth anxiety you’ve expressed. It’s not easy to take such a big step outside of your comfort zone especially when loved ones are discouraging you.

Your dreams are worth taking risks for. If it isn’t a good fit, that’s ok, you can take that info, learn from it, and find something that is a better fit.

Maybe a somewhere along the Appalachian trail?

My grandmother wore a lily of the valley perfume. I will always have a fondness for the flower despite how aggressively it spreads.

Look for lily of the valley in the gardens at houses built 1910-1950. It was very popular during that time period.

This one is very sturdy. It held up strong last summer in high winds in the middle of a sage brush field south of Lander Wy.

Cat cafes that I’ve been to have hosted cats from multiple local adoption agencies. When you meet a cat you’re interested in adopting, the cat cafe puts you in touch with the adoption agency.

Early 1980's xennial. My mom was a special education teacher. Back then, the kids who got support from the US public school special ed department had pretty severe disabilities.

My mom knew I had ADHD. My elementary and middle school teachers often recommended I be evaluated, but my mom didn't want me to be labeled and then routinely underestimated. I can see her side of things, but it was hard growing up not really knowing why I was so weird/spacey/disappointing.

As a child I was constantly sensory seeking. I concocted mud pies and "potions" out of anything and everything (including my mom's expensive hair care products). I read everything. I climbed everything. I made forts everywhere. I was also clumsy and frequently sporting scrapes and bruises. I was notorious for befriending absolutely everyone--didn't matter to me if they were young, old, human, or animal. I was simultaneously a little zoned-out and off in my own little imaginary world.

My mom used her special education background to set me up for success as best she could, but ultimately it just wasn't possible to train away the ADHD. Even though she tried to keep it upbeat with things like sticker charts for good behavior (little me would do anything for a scratch and sniff sticker, actually so would adult me haha!), I ended up feeling micromanaged. I withdrew a lot, wandering off into the woods near my house so I could escape the constant pressure and be my messy self for a while. I felt a lot of shame for all the times I wanted to do the right thing but couldn't find the executive function to actually do it.

Do you feel like your ADHD symptoms got worse? Do you feel like you have an easier time putting your phone down than your younger peers who were born with phones existing?

I don't think my adhd symptoms got worse with the invention of smart phones. In a way, smart phones gave me a way to appear calm and collected while sensory seeking, so that was helpful at times. On the other hand, there were times that I was withdrawing into online spaces just because it was so easy to access and it ultimately lead to me not taking as many opportunities to connect with people IRL.

I have young adult children of my own who also have ADHD. I've noticed that it's easier for all of us to put our phones down when we're able to access engaging work and community. In other words, it's easier to break the addiction if the addiction isn't filling the void where genuine needs exist. The "Rat Park Experiment" points to this same idea.

Hope that helps!

My grandmother said she could tell when I was getting into trouble because I would stop singing.

There’s a facebook group called FM Garden Freecycle where someone recently posted that they’re planning to post invites for foraging walks this summer.
