  1. I took this note in 2009, before Trump's 1st term. I drove by again yesterday. I did not take another note, because the scene was unchanged! There is still no wall, all along the Rio Grande for hundreds of miles.

    On all the roads in all the communities near here in Far West Texas (Trump country), there are hundreds of signs proclaiming nobigbendwall.org. It's working!

  4. #3GoodThings #ThreeGoodThings

    Mostly off-grid camping this week in a beautiful, desolate desert

    Public library WiFi that allows me to check in to see how things are going with the family and the world

    Clear dark sky stargazing. Last night we saw Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune, the Orion Nebula, and what I’m thinking was the stage two separation of a rocket launch!

  5. Lamster: Dallas architect brings modern architecture to rural West Texas 📚

    Dan Shipley’s new Marathon Public Library fits in by standing out.

    “The building is very much of the area, with materials that are of the area. It’s exactly what it should be. It’s not trying to be something that it’s not.”

  10. "Recent research shows the night sky in #NorthAmerica is getting brighter every year – on average, researchers say, you can see about 10 percent fewer stars than the year before. But the #BigBend area in #Texas has fended off the light glow that washes out starry nights."

  11. Big Bend National Park, located in Texas, is famous for its stunning desert and mountainous landscapes. It also fosters numerous paranormal stories, including ghost sightings and mysterious lights. #bigbend #nationalparkservice connectparanormal.net/2025/05/

  12. Does Religion Belong in National Parks?
    In the 1990s, a federal lawsuit changed the privileged relationship that A Christian Ministry in the National Parks (ACMNP) enjoyed with US national parks. However, the changes had little effect on the ministry’s operations—ACMNP evangelists still operate in US national parks.

    Big Bend National Park: In The Heart of Texas

    "The Bears, as winter approaches, enter a phase called hyper phasia eating as much as they can as fast as they can."
