Due to clouds, rain & snow, we likely won't see much of the total lunar eclipse in Montana and Wyoming overnight (~12:30 to ~1:30). Instead, here is a delicious-looking Oreo cookie eclipse!

Signs.

We were coming out of the grocery store parking lot when Mrs. Miasma saw them.

A thin line of protestors sprinkled along the sidewalk across from some federal agency offices.

Protest signs read "I WANT public education!" and "Save our national forests"

I counted about thirty people. I thought about pulling over to take their picture, but then I realized that would be the wrong thing to do these days. Instead we waved and gave them thumbs-up.

Legislation to allocate ~$100 billion of taxpayer money (roughly 8 aircraft carriers or 12% of the entire US defense budget) to buying #bitcoin has been reintroduced by Senator #CynthiaLummis.

(Unstated: Lummis is trying to pump the bitcoin market which has been crashing in the aftermath of Trump only committing to not selling $20bn worth of bitcoins seized from criminals when the market was pricing in a massive government purchase)

(Also unstated: Lummis owns a lot of bitcoin, so she’s nakedly attempting to use taxpayer money to enrich herself)

F them.

Via WaPo:

#Wyoming Republican lawmakers on Wednesday voted a bill into law that will require women seeking medication #abortions to undergo an ultrasound first, overriding the GOP governor’s veto.

more fraud in the state whose laws are designed to make it easy to commit fraud: #Wyoming (represented by #CynthiaLummis, the American senate's bitcoin broette-in-chief)

kind of ominous that #ElonMusk just started following the Senate's crypto grifter in chief #CynthiaLummis (R-Wyoming), the author of the #StrategicBitcoinReserve legislation which proposes handing 10% of america's discretionary federal budget directly to crypto bros.

Endless small flakes.

It has been snowing here all day. They say it's supposed to keep this up until 5pm tomorrow.

Contrary to every other forecast they give us, they're almost never wrong about how long our snow storms last.

Instead of the gym for exercise tomorrow, I guess we'll be flinging snow.

I'm trying to remember why I thought it was a good idea to retire somewhere that still has all four seasons.
