I listened to the Fireline podcast as well over the last week - it was good in that it covered some familiar ground but also addressed a few things I hadn't thought about or heard about before. And WTG on removing barriers for pronghorn - I looked up the Artemis Sportswomen group you're part of and it looks really interesting, wish we had something similar here in Canada.

Nothing better than working up a good, honest sweat while trying to prevent further harm to our quadrapedal neighbors!

Wow - that is a lot of barbed wire! THANK YOU and yes, it must have felt good after finishing that and knowing the wild pronghorn could move through the landscape. Also, I've read before the critical nature that wild grazing animals have on the soils/grasses, maybe some elements of symbiotic evolution? As always, thanks for your reading/watching list. I've always been vehemently against 'trophy' (the word used in this context almost disgusts me) hunting, while hunting most of my teenage lives and eating what we hunted. I believe there were relaxations on restrictions on bringing 'trophy' animals back into the US, but have not heard if Biden has re-instituted those restrictions. Thanks so much for your thoughtful words, and for making a difference to those pronghorns.

A bitter root indeed, that knapweed.

Dillon is where they used to hold Boys and Girls State. I was sorry to learn recently that it had moved to some place less remote.

I'm enjoying these snapshots of the place I spent the first 18 years of life, Antonia, thanks. Let me know if you get back into the Nick Ehli years of MQ, I did something for him in I think 2008.
