on most days, though I don't usually go there but follow whatever leads I find reading the daily OTs. It's funny, the impact that had n me when I first heard it. There was a whole maelstrom of different musical styles and genres all popping up everywhere all the time. This comes to mind too:

A 'Take Five' kinda day.
Groovy.

indigenous people in the US, and, as you note, especially in the oil fracking camps, and seemingly has a wide ranging effect from there. I recall reading that it was a significant problem in MN as a presumed overflow from the Dakotas.

Good luck with your clean up. Our summer projects still continue - the curse of mild weather. We just finished turning one of the raised beds that had been invaded from below by huge networks of roots from the now dead lemon tree. The soil is far from the best too, even after turning and removing large amounts of invading roots, so we seeded buckwheat and crimson clover to serve as a winter cover crop and spring soil enhancement when we dig it in and plant spring veggies. We have a new bed with some fall greens and veggies, but another in process that is still just a bare patch of ground where the lemon was, trees that need pruning (and picking in the case of the apple), plus all of the normal stuff that normal suburbanites do as well, such as cleaning gutters and some trailer mods and outfitting.

However, this is crazy week, so we have to taper off and make room for that and concessions to normality, etc.

I suspect you'll need further music for all that clean up work, so - work song

Have a good one.

In the United States, violence against indigenous women has reached unprecedented levels on tribal lands and in Alaska Native villages. More than 4 in 5 American Indian and Alaska Native women have experienced violence, and more than 1 in 2 have experienced sexual violence. Alaska Native women continue to suffer the highest rate of forcible sexual assault and have reported rates of domestic violence up to 10 times higher than in the rest of the United States. Though available data is limited, the number of missing and murdered American Indian and Alaska Native women and the lack of a diligent and adequate federal response is extremely alarming to indigenous women, tribal governments, and communities. On some reservations, indigenous women are murdered at more than ten times the national average.

So we pen up first nations peoples and then allow a lawless intrusion onto the rez. My understanding is it is the worst in the fracked fields of the Dakotas in addition to Alaska.

Well thanks for the OT and the music. Have a hired hand this AM to help with a final clean up from all the summer projects. Looking forward to completion.

Hope you all have a good day!

Ocotillo Wells State OHV play area with fewer hills and declevities. Had to pull in late one evening with driver fatigue after a late start out of Bakersfield headed for Tamarisk Grove campground in ABDSP, I swear those guys were running most of the night and up before dawn, but we did get some rest, if not too much sleep.

Have a good one.

It was a loop race this year, 800 miles beginning and ending in Ensenada. (course map here)
The winning Trophy Truck did the loop in a little over 16 hrs.
(unofficial results here)
Much amateur video now showing up on YouTube.
Here's some from race mile 150, where the course ran south along the Pacific.

Lewis, but that's my skewed view. Huxley was another matter. Funny that they both died the same day, but not really, mathematically, if they were just two guys, a and b.

Thanks for reading and have a great one.

two other notable persons whose earthly lives ended on that calendar date — C. S. Lewis and Aldous Huxley.

Their deaths went virtually unnoticed, as worldwide all attention was focused on the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
