Update: Drove a couple miles west of town and hiked to a waterfall. No smoke out that way!

Why does the Resources section for RFK Jr’s new food pyramid look like a game of Cards Against Humanity?

Y’all. I thought I had walked into the stinging caterpillar apocalypse for a second until I realized these were just catkins that fell from a nearby tree. Still getting over the trauma that Louisiana fauna inflicted on me. 😱
