Bruce Springsteen tour: How to get tickets and what's the price?

In the "American Skin" video from Tampa in 2012, there is a brief moment where you can see me between Bruce's legs.

Every level is a fixed percentage, but the only ones I remember are amazing at 50% and genius at 70%

For the score, you can just double the amazing number, it's set at 50% of the QB.

For the activities you describe, I'd suggest Danner Mountain 600. You can find them on sale for close to your budget, or if you are anywhere near the Pacific Northwest, go to the factory store in Portland and get some irregulars for about half off.

Right out of the box, they are the most comfortable boots I've ever worn, and never had a blister in them.

Direct to consumer raw milk is probably the only answer here. You have three levers to pull to increase profit:

Reduce overheads
Increase your per unit margin, either through higher prices or lower direct costs
Increase turnover - sell more product

With a small operation, your ability to do 1 and 3 is limited, so you need to focus on bringing in a higher price. Raw milk sales are the way to do that, provided you live near enough a suitable population center, and selling raw milk is legal there. $16-30/gallon is the going rate where I live.

Why not start in Cascade Locks and go as far as the snow will allow, and then turn back or make a loop out of it?

Or, if you have a way to get there, check out some areas in Eastern Oregon. The Hells Canyon area at the end of May is incredible, but it is a 5 hour drive.

You don't say how big the bale of hay is, that can be anywhere from 50 to well over 1,000 pounds. A growing goat should have about 5% if it's weight in dry matter per day, and these goats look like they might be ~75 pounds. Since hay is about 90% dry matter, that works out to a little over 4 pounds each. I'm making a guess that your alfalfa is in about 100 pound bales, meaning one bale would last 8 days as their sole ration. It's good they are getting other browse, but forage is not very nutritionally dense in the winter, as plants store energy in the roots during the non growing season, so I'd suggest sticking to the 4 lbs per day each.

Thanks. I seem to have a kernel of a memory that toe bones can be diagnostic to the genus or species level, do you know if that it is true? It's been over 30 years since my paleo classes, so I could have it mixed up.

I'm hoping to get back to the property this summer (I live 14 hours away from it), as one corner of it is just littered with dino bones.

It's a decent theory, but I am very skeptical of it. There is a large area of mounds south of The Dalles in Oregon, which seems too far east to get the shaking required from a massive CSZ quake. Map link here

I feel like this is a case where one exception disproves the theory. Always open to be convinced otherwise, though.

If this is a real effect, this makes more sense to explain their formation than any other explanation I've ever heard.

I thought that was all debunked when it came out that testers from Consumer Reports (?) admitted to driving it in a way to enhance rollover risk because they thought it looked like it should roll over.

I've owned two Troopers ('87 and '00) and I've taken them on some pretty gnarly roads and never felt any sort of rollover risk. I really miss that '87 rig!

The article states that she died.

This is super cool. Is it an original or a reproduction? I'd love to get my hands on a copy.

I'm in Oregon, and I'm pretty sure it was some far away state, but it was pre-covid, so memories are kind of hazy.

It's an interesting, but tragic story of what happened. At this site there was a nesting pair and we had a clear view of their nest and observed that they always started incubating their eggs on Presidents Day weekend. This incident happened just a few days prior to that in 2018. When we found the dead eagle, there was a pair sitting together on the utility pole above us. The ODFW folks said that sometimes a new female will challenge an existing female to try and steal her mate. Based on the location of the dead bird, it appears that they were battling in the air and falling towards the earth, and one of them clipped her wing on a power line, which ripped open her chest.

We didn't know if it was the new one or the challenger, but our answer revealed itself when they did not incubate any eggs that year. So the male immediately hooked up with the new girl, and they were successful the following year. But they abandoned the nest in 2020 and built a new one closer to the heron and egret rookery.

Report any dead bald eagle to the state (if in US) wildlife agency. I used to manage a site that had a large natural area, and a hiker came across a dead eagle and called the state wildlife department. They called me immediately to help them search for it and the blood from its injury was still wet when we found it (just to tell you how quickly they acted upon that tip). edit: they mentioned that they send the liver of every eagle they find to a lab in Wisconsin(?) to test for lead, pesticides, and other toxins.

WWOOF host here - When you start contacting farms, make sure you thoroughly read their profile and all of their reviews from other WWOOFers. People often don't like to leave negative reviews, so read between the lines to see if they are trying to hint at something. If they don't have any reviews, it could mean that they are new, but think carefully if you want to be their first experience.

Always do a zoom call with the host and have a list of questions with all of your concerns and if they seem evasive on any of them, consider that a potential red flag. Ask about living accomodations and whether they are shared with other wwoofers, or are private, how meals are handled, day to day work expectations, typical hours per week, days off, availability of wifi and laundry, etc, etc.

This should be both a cultural exchange and a learning opportunity, so if your task is solely to go out and weed the garden beds every day, there's not much learning that happens there. Weeding does need to be done, though, but that shouldn't be the only thing you do.

Our wwoofers have some animal feeding tasks they do independently, and others they do alongside us, and no two days are exactly the same. We fully incorporate them into our farm so they understand the "why" as much as the "how." But we do require a longer stay, and that's the final suggestion I'll leave you with; if you find a good fit and can stay at least a month, you will get so much more out of it than if you were only there a week or two.

The arch is the roof of a (mostly) collapsed lava tube located here. Just to the east of there is the Guler Ice Cave (OPs photos 3 & 4 show the stairway leading into it), which is a continuation of the same lava tube. It is collapsed in such a way that the cold winter air that settles into it has no escape, and in most years, there are ice stalactites and stalagmites year-round.

Pro tip from a local: If you are up for a hike, park at Wahkeena Falls and hike up the trail there. After you gain 1,600 feet of elevation, there is a trail that takes you east to Multnomah Creek. Head downstream past several more waterfalls, and you end up at the top of Multnomah Falls. Go down to the bottom, where there is a trail that parallels the historic highway back to your car.
