@RodeoProfessor Insanity. I'd love to ignore them but the are actively doing destrictive stuff to our most priceless assets.

It’s very strange how posts about our glorious public land portfolios bring these types of commenters out in droves. I think there’s a lot of ignorance but I think there’s also good old fashioned resentment. I’ve had a million “why should I subsidize your fishing spot” type comments on here which is a batshit crazy place to bring discussion on American multi use landscapes.

Next time some city dork tells you that we need to privatize and sell BLM land because it’s worthless or ugly compared to our national parks, remember that Steens Mountain and its scenic drive exist. One of the most remarkable bighorn sheep restorations in America, native redband trout in the Donner und Blitzen River (named by U.S. Army Captain George Currey when he saw thunder and lightning chasing the Paiute Indians), and a drive that showcases all the ecology of the west. The BLM reintroduction of California bighorn to Steens Mountain started with just 11 sheep. Over time, the herd stabilized and became the subject of one of the most comprehensive scientific studies of bighorn ever conducted, the Van Dyke Oregon State research (Go Beavs). Much of what we know about population dynamics, habitat use, and lamb survival is from the Steens Herd. Hunter generated revenue paid for much of the bighorn restoration with coveted auction raffle tags providing almost all funding for capture, transfers, research, and habitat. Restoration couldn’t have been paid for without hunters opening their wallets. BLM land is the ultimate American land, you can hunt, fish, shoot, and bring back iconic American wildlife as is your heritage, American. Maybe you to this drive this summer? Maybe you check out another BLM parcel near you?

See you sukkaz in 10 days. Gotta get outta this goddam oven 🫡

RIP KING. Such a great and versatile actor.

@TaylorWAnderson This is correct

OK. I got to the answer. Obviously this is a problem seemingly intentionally created by a Legislature that is disproportionately misrepresentative of the populous of the state of Utah. The businesses operate under that framework.

I don't know who to be more annoyed with that businesses like Sugar House Station are 21+: the business for deciding they wanted to be a yuppie/DINK hotspot or the Utah Legislature for creating anti-family friendly alcohol laws that force such choices. Tuff stuff! #utpol

I would estimate that at least 90% of every inch of that topography you see is over 30% grade and completely unbuildable. "People can just do things” lol.

@MagleUte @TaylorWAnderson Yeah it's all real stupid. Not worth even clarifying.

@SeanDNeves @TaylorWAnderson But somehow the patio is family friendly? We have the quirkiest laws

@wanderingdave Oh yeah we will. But, it's NOT supposed to be 84f above 10k feet!

@SeanDNeves So cool. Enjoy.

Heading up to the Popo Agie Wilderness next Tues. It's going to be 81-84 degrees fahrenheit at 10k feet above sea level. Insanity.

#CottonwoodFire: The folks at Eagle Point Resort shared this trail map today showing the approximate burned area and which spots within the ski area boundary were damaged. Based on current assessments, the resort impact includes: • 145 families lost a home or condominium within the Eagle Point community. • Approximately 300 of the resort's 600 skiable acres were impacted. • Canyonside Lodge was destroyed. • The Tushar Ridge Warming Station was lost. • Four of the resort's five chairlifts sustained damage and continue to be evaluated. Several key resort assets remain intact, including Skyline Lodge, the Monarch Lift, significant portions of the north side terrain, snowmaking infrastructure, and communications towers. "While the losses are significant, the fire did not destroy the spirit of this community," said Gadbaw. "We are grateful for what remains and are committed to working together as we move forward. The question isn't whether this community will recover. The question is how we work together to get there. Today marks the beginning of that process." Gadbaw emphasized that the most important outcome of the fire was the protection of human life. "It's important to recognize the most important fact - no one was injured at Eagle Point Resort during the fire," said Gadbaw. "Buildings can be rebuilt. The fact that no lives were lost is something we will never stop being grateful for." Gadbaw also expressed his gratitude to the firefighters, Beaver County Sheriff's Office, U.S. Forest Service personnel, emergency management teams, utility crews, volunteers, and community members who played critical roles throughout the incident.

@JazzBlueprint Yeah man that's it. I don't give AF what the mental weaklings say like "BuT mUUUH JJJ at Center"

Nobody on the bench gives me a reason to think differently. This is my starting 5. #TakeNote

@ChrisCallsBall @esidery @FOS Wtf. The definition of inappropriate

@esidery @FOS I’m just trying to understand why it’s such an issue? Code of conduct violation? But I mean that’s not his wife. She was just a. Girlfriend for 6 years

The Spurs have fired their play-by-play broadcaster, Jacob Tobey, who was recently caught cheating on his partner with a player’s relative, per @FOS (frontofficesports.com/jacob-tobey-ou…). Tobey was hired by San Antonio in 2024.

@Bathan_Nurgess @hansenjames 33% 3pt for the last 2 years. Booker is not all that.

@hansenjames Not true. I think year 3 Book is the best comp for DP. Darryn’s just way longer, but Book’s more of a pure shooter than DP.

Hello, stop comparing Peterson to Booker. He’s already more dynamic than that

@hansenjames Especially when Booker is a 33% 3pt player now over the last 2 years. He peaked nicely. Wildly overrated nowadays.

New newsletter: THE END OF BOOZE I like wine and cocktails. I also really like being alive. So I’m very motivated to understand the empirical relationship between moderate drinking and lifetime mortality. Fear of moderate drinking is surging among young people and some health influencers. No one should delude themselves into thinking alcohol is medicine. But the evidence that <8 drinks a week is a known danger has been dramatically oversold by health influencers. It is often based on mis-reading research conclusions and over-interpreting bad research with embarrassingly confidence intervals. open.substack.com/pub/derekthomp…

@mcconnell_russ @realfrugalmogul "Pay to be on the MLS". Soo, you hire an agent?

@realfrugalmogul As a seller, I will never sign any documents with a realtor for any commission. If the buyer chooses to pay a realtor, that's out their pocket, not mine. FSBO, use Zillow and pay to be on MLS. Hang signs around your township. Use an attorney to close. Easy savings vs using agent

Real Estate agents, how are listings working these days? It used to be that seller paid 5-6% that was split 50/50 between the buyer and seller’s agents. Does the buyer really have to collect 2.5/3% from their own client now? That can’t me good for the market

Have I mentioned how valuable rookie contracts and draft picks are lately? Eeesh

Jaw dropping timelapse from the #BabylonFire. Observed torching several times near the ridge top. Shot near Blanding City 4th Reservoir. #UTwx #UTFire

@UtahFoodNet Just awesome 💪💪

@SeanDNeves She beat the Men’s & Women’s speed times in the process!
