Down to just five Spirit Airlines aircraft left airborne, and they are all likely to be down in the next 15 minutes.

It’s been just over 3 months since we watched #kilauea erupt from our campsite at the summit. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for our family. Try to get out there for an episode before the eruptions stops!

Cute little mini supercell, couldn’t leave the house and unfortunately my drone wasn’t cooperating much but still managed to capture a rotating wall cloud with at least two funnels, the fist may have been anticyclonic. @NWSSpokane #wawx

When we consider the character of the Savior we tend to focus immediately on His attributes, such as virtue, integrity, humility, compassion, and courage, but we should also consider, what is it in Jesus that gives rise to such character traits? I believe they are the natural fruit of the thoughts, desires, and intents of His heart. Christlike character grows out of a Christlike heart. Thus, if we are to succeed in developing a Christlike character, we must possess His motivations—His thoughts, desires, and intents of the heart. For us, it will require what the scriptures call a “mighty change of heart.” Jesus thinks and acts out of pure love; He yearns to bless and lift others; and He delights to do the will of God. With faith in Christ, we can pray that the Holy Spirit will effect a mighty change in us to instill these same divine motivations in our heart and help us practice the attributes of a Christlike character. #GeneralConference "Little Lamb" by Greg Olsen.

My message to you today is that because Jesus Christ overcame this fallen world, and because He atoned for each of us, you too can overcome this sin-saturated, self-centered, and often exhausting world. -Russel M. Nelson

Today I'll be attending a memorial service for an influential young man who was publicly massacred in his early thirties for peacefully teaching unpopular truth. It's called church. You should come.

Eyeglasses aren’t opioids. There’s no reason we should need to see an optometrist to buy glasses. You don’t in the rest of the world, and you didn’t in the US either until optometrists lobbied aggressively under the banner of “public safety.” For decades, opticians, trained with just a few weeks of coursework, tested vision and sold glasses directly, just like they still do in Europe, Asia, and most of the world. Outside the US, vision correction (opticians) is kept separate from medical eye care (ophthalmology). In the US, we created the field of optometry and then they lobbied hard to take over vision correction because there is more money in selling glasses than in doing medical tests. By the 1970s, every state required prescriptions, shutting out opticians and cementing an optometrist monopoly. The result: in Europe you can walk into a shop, get tested, and leave with glasses for about $50 all-in. In the US, you are forced into a $200 exam and $300 frames. What should be simple and cheap has been turned into a racket, and consumers pay the price. Much like barber licensing (some states require 2,000 hours of training just to braid hair), this kind of gatekeeping drives up costs without protecting consumers. Vision correction should be cheap and accessible, not locked behind a monopoly!
My next pet project will be to liberalize state eyeglass prescription laws because getting an exam every year is a pain in the butt and I didn't realize most other states have longer durations.

#breaking Airplane cash in Hayden, Idaho. It appears that a Lancair evolution had to make an emergency landing off-airport. 3 occupants reported safe but the plane has hit a new construction home that is on fire. Aircraft looks like it tried to make it back to Coeur D’Alene airport.
