The Commissioner of Washington state's Department of Natural Resources, Hilary Franz, has been on a morale tour after losing staff to her vaccine mandate. She originally reported only a handful of people "chose" to leave last year but accommodations are only now being officially denied. Protestors joined me today outside her meeting with staff in the Northeast Region. I was fired from that region for refusing to comply with their demand that I stop interviewing people who they said "undermined" the vaccine mandate at DNR. Franz is a likely frontrunner for Washington's next Governor. As DNR Chief she heads the state's wildland firefighting force.
My dad ordered “soup bones” from his local farm and got a couple whole leg bones. I guess you could use some kind of saw to cut them. But he brought them to our house for Zinnia, our rescue dog who started with humble beginnings as a pup seized by police and is definitely living the life now.
Making fresh milled, whole grain bread at home can be challenging but it’s so worth it! We made several dense loaves before we got it right. The most important trait in a successful bread maker is persistence. So don’t give up! Here are a few tricks we have learned along the way. Hope it helps. I know many of you are far beyond the beginnner stage so please share your tips as well! There is nothing better than warm bread, fresh out of the oven, with a nice big slab of butter, even if it’s not perfect. 🧈 As my grandmother, Ruth Morrow, used to say, “Even my failures are edible.”
The kids did their first rodeo today! Their event was “goat undressing on foot.” They have to catch a goat and grab a ribbon of its tail, throw the ribbon in a bucket and raise their hands to stop the clock. It seems grabbing the rope is the best strategy, then use that to shimmy toward the goat. The real winner was the crowd- who doesn’t love watching kids chase a goat in circles? Lily’s time was around 24 seconds, Jack’s was about 13 seconds.
Further proving YouTube Shorts make creators less money. Though I disagree with his claim that long form creators should move into shorts. That is totally untrue. If a long form creator wants to move into shorts, make a new channel for that. Long form creators with an established audience are still doing well. But shorts will cannibalize a channel.
