If you want a good illustration of how unusual this year has been, here's a two part image taken near my house, at 7,100 feet (2,164 meters) in Big Sky, Montana. The image on the left was taken on March 26, 2023. The one on the right, yesterday (March 26, 2026).
If you're triggered by this photo, you're probably Gen X. š
Pierogis for dinner! š
I had the opportunity to stay at the Lamar Buffalo Ranch in Yellowstone last week, while taking a class for Yellowstone and Montana Master Naturalist certifications. Being in the park for a week straight, with no cell service or wifi, was amazing! We saw lots of wildlife, but the highlight was many different coyote interactions, revealing a more social nature than people typically attribute to these animals.
#photography #yellowstoneWell this was fun. Happened about a quarter of the way down a run with a fair bit of unpacked snow, so I ended up butt scootching down until I got to a traverse packed down enough to walk on. Thank goodness I wasnāt on the backside of the mountain or Iād have had to call ski patrol for help!
Iād been thinking about doing one more run after this one. Maybe this was the universeās way of telling me, āNope.ā
Okay, dug the page out of my history, and itās still working. Hereās the app that it directs you to. Now Iām curious whether this is an abuse of an affiliate program (very common with these sorts of things) or if the developer (a suspicious āALLPRO INTERIOR OUā) is directly responsible for this scam.
I canāt believe these scams are still aroundā¦ but I guess why fix it if it aināt broke, right? I wish Iād followed through and clicked the Remove Virus Now button, just to see where it would take me, but I was in a hurry and didnāt have time to play.
