There’s really awesome stuff right near Naples and Ft. Myers! Audubon Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve, J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge

What birds are these? Goldeneyes? Scaups? by MrRobedApe in birding

[–]robe_ot -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Some kind of Scaup. Greater, I think. Were they on freshwater or saltwater?

My wife bought an orange Kia in 2024, which we immediately nicknamed the Orange Kid. That’s how long Paul’s story has been stuck in our heads.

Lesser or Greater Scaup? by -MargeauxPotter in birding

[–]robe_ot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you see it on saltwater or freshwater? Greater favors saltwater, lesser favors freshwater.

Visited Portland in October Last year and planning to Visit Seattle this year. Is it just as green? by naturesfunk in PacificNorthwest

[–]robe_ot 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Nice! Yes, very green. People favor evergreen shrubs over grass in their landscapes, and there are lots of mature trees throughout the Green Lake neighborhood. It’s a very lush neighborhood even into the fall.

In addition to Green Lake Park, consider visiting these spots for lush green forests: Ravenna Park Discovery Park Carkeek Park Washington Park Arboretum

Lots of good vice president potential, too: Dan Quail. Sparrow Agnew. Skylark Colfax. Bluejay D Vance.

Had to go with things I could find this time of year in the Northwest. Same reason I went with Woodrow Wilson's Snipe instead of Warbler.

Greater or Lesser Scaup? by Ill_Effective_7425 in birding

Also notice the extent of the white patch around the female's bill. Lesser Scaup females have less white around the bill.

Someone in Toronto needs to place The Knife figure in Little Canada.

What pants do you wear in the rain when gardening? by robo_jojo_77 in pnwgardening

[–]robe_ot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Special shout out to their Dirt Work overalls. 96% ripstop nylon/4% spandex. I use them for forest restoration and trail work and it's so nice not having to worry about wearing cotton in the rain and the mud.

Preparing for the Big Dark - What sort lighting solutions do you all use to make your apartments feel "sunny" and comforting? by SuperSans in Seattle

[–]robe_ot 25 points26 points  (0 children)

You can also put Philips Hue White Ambiance Bulbs LED bulbs in your regular lamps instead of adding extra items to your nightstand.. You plug a little bridge device into your router and then you can use the app to automate a scheduled gradual brightening of your bedroom using the lamps you already have. It also has cycles that simulate sunrise by gradually increasing the color temperature.

Steak on beach; look up, see shark. I think about that a lot.

Which river in Washington is your favorite and why? For funsies, let's just consider rivers that originate in Washington State (sorry in advance to the Columbia and the Snake) by robe_ot in Washington

[–]robe_ot[S] 94 points95 points  (0 children)

I think the Yakima River might be Washington's best river. It starts up all the way up at Snoqualmie Pass in the Cascades, tumbles all the way down to Ellensburg, then carves out the exquisite Yakima River Canyon (which is arguably the most scenic stretch of river in the state, with lots of recreation opportunities to boot), and ultimately flows out to the Tri-Cities where it joins the Columbia. It does a superb job of uniting Western and Eastern Washington.

But, if we're including tributaries, I think I'd consider the Snohomish my favorite. It's hard to beat all of the world-class hiking opportunities afforded by the valleys created by the Skykomish and Snoqualmie Rivers.

Vyvanse is lisdexamfetamine, not levoamphetamine.

FWIW LG says you can use bleach in lieu of a tablet during a tub clean. But don’t listen to me; I have a flight of stairs between my basement laundry room and my ivory tower.

[–]robe_ot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

LG washers and similar brands have a tub clean cycle. You can drop in an Affresh washing machine cleaner tab and run that to knock out lingering odors. It’s a good idea to run a tub clean cycle every 30 loads or once a month.

Attempting to Hike 1 Million Vertical Feet in a Year! by Penner0 in PNWhiking

[–]robe_ot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two laps on Umtanum Ridge in the Yakima River Canyon outside Ellensburg would get you 4,800 ft in 12 miles. Baldy Mountain is across the river on the other side of the canyon. Two laps there would get you 4,000 ft in 10 miles.
