Flying site access at risk (western US)

Not getting into politics here, but regardless of which side of the aisle you sit on if you’re in the US, it’s time to reach out to your congresspeople to advocate for protecting the forest service and BLM land that you care about keeping open (and preventing business and developer interests out of it). The site I fly at the most (Marshall/Crestline in Southern California), access to multiple launches in the Owens Valley, and several others are all potentially up for grabs.

Map, based on data from the Senate Budget Bill:

"No Kings Day" protests turn out millions, rebuking Trump | Our unofficial estimate is that around 4-6 million people attended a protest event yesterday. Anti-Trump resistance is outpacing 2017.
  • I had the same experience. First protest I’ve been to and besides one dude that drove by flipping everyone off and one crazy old dude with a “dems are pedos” sign (yes, with what’s happening in South Carolina literally right now, the irony was lost on this person), a very positive mood all around. Loads of folks driving by, waving and honking horns, some kids in attendance, and everybody getting along very well in support of a common cause.

    Rucksack and concertina bag zipper repair

    I had a concertina bag whose zipper stopped working one day. Tried out the fix in this video which only took a few seconds, and that concertina bag has kept on ticking for the past 2 years without issue.

    What goes well with celery?
  • They are an excellent addition to any compost bin.

    I kid (not a huge fan when celery is out with other things but don’t mind it on its own). Definitely gotta have it in a Bloody Mary / Bloody Caesar though.
