Somebody Brammed him.

The monsoonal pattern is bringing 100% humidity to the Arco Desert every morning. We just aren't accustomed.

The sunset from the farmstead on the Arco Desert on July 15. #IdahoEscape

We've had skies in the last few weeks that resemble the skies in SE Idaho from my youth in the 60s. Lots of monsoonal action today with locally heavy rains that are largely unpredictable. #IdahoEscape

As captured in rural Nevada by my friend Tony Morse.

This case perfectly encapsulates how Idaho's crusade against transgender youth is simply a tool for stochastic terrorism by the very same Christian Nationalists who lobbied in favor of the the laws passed. There is no valid public policy here. Only hate. #idpol www.idahoednews.org/top-news/a-d...

This was the view from the Arco Desert on July 13. #IdahoEscape

Yeah, but he's a nihilist.

"Them syreens did this to Pete! They loved him up and turned him into a horny toad."

As seen in Seattle.

I'll be referencing my "grotto" more often in the next week because this dusty empty cobwebby place has been rendered into my rock shop that transformed this area under a deck into a cool reprieve from oppressive heat untypical to the Arco Desert. #IdahoEscape

The upper Snake River system is at 46% of capacity and dropping fast. The upper Snake region rarely breaks the 100 degree mark. It will this weekend. #idpol

If you are in Slaughterhouse Canyon you should be packing. #IdahoFire

Fire moving fast in Muldoon Canyon east of Bellevue, Idaho in the Wood River Valley. No formal evac yet ordered but people being advised to get the hell out. #idpol

Succinct.

But she's not a racist.

These are from after the rainbow over Shelley last night. From the farmstead on Arco Desert. #IdahoEscape

Today marks three weeks since the end of trial in Seyb v. Labrador, which has potential to be a new landmark decision on the constitutionality of abortion. #Idaho Senior Judge Winmill could imminently render findings of fact and conclusions of law. #idpol msmagazine.com/2026/07/05/w...

Idaho also named a river for the trapper John Day when England continued to lay claim to this area. Saw no beavers today.

Storm chasing from the farmstead on the Arco Desert. #IdahoEscape

Tonight's sunset in the lead up to the storm coming to the mountains of SE #Idaho promising a foot of snow tomorrow and Sunday. I'm focused directly into the Little Lost River Valley from the Arco Desert in Bonneville County. #IdahoEscape

This images of the shelf cloud moving into this area are impressive. #Idaho
