It's complicated. The rain will eventually become stream flow. When it's dry (normal) all the stream flow is owned by someone. Taking water from the stream without ownership (an adjudicated water right) is stealing.

Great trip

Mail-in voting didn’t just create new opportunities for fraud. It destroyed the single most important thing that has ever kept this republic functioning: the willingness of the losing side to accept the result and continue living under the government that beat them. For most of American history we understood something basic. Republics don’t survive because the winners are virtuous. They survive because the losers still believe the contest was real enough to respect. That belief didn’t appear by accident. It was built on physical presence, secret ballots, visible processes, and the ability to know ... with reasonable certainty ... who actually voted and under what conditions. Mail-in voting burned that down on purpose. It moved the entire act of voting out of any controlled environment and into the hands of whoever could collect, mark, and deliver ballots with the least scrutiny. Signature rules became jokes. Marks replaced signatures. Ballots got routed through centralized hubs where third parties could handle them in bulk. And when the numbers looked off, the response from the people running the system was always the same: trust us. We are now at the point where large numbers of Americans no longer believe that. Not because they’re paranoid, but because the system itself no longer produces the kind of verifiable process that used to make losing tolerable. Once enough people decide the outcome was manufactured rather than earned, the republic stops being a government by consent and starts becoming something else entirely. That’s not a future problem. That’s the condition we’re already in. And pretending otherwise is how you finish the job. (article below)

Took a walk around DC this AM. Wanted to see the old places where I lived and then peep the changes at Union Station. The Columbus statue and fountain were indescribably beautiful. It gleamed so white it hurt my eyes! Plus the water flowing for the first time in ? Lower Senate Park was immaculate. Two years ago it was disgusting. Trash and tents everywhere. I can't believe the change, and that no one seems to be rejoicing. Decay and decline are a choice. It only takes determination to make things better. Thank you @realDonaldTrump and @SecretaryBurgum

It's fun to stay at the YMCA

#farm work. By the end of June I'll have done this twice and there will be one plant every 3.5' /- Unless of course it hails me out AGAIN

Great catch by Mike.

This will be the high water mark.

America cannot afford to rely on Communist China for critical manufacturing and supply chains. That’s why I’m fighting for permitting reform to cut red tape, strengthen American industry, and bring jobs and manufacturing back to the United States — while still protecting clean air, land, and water.

With @DavidBCollum and @mattpheus you might break the Internet.

I voted for this

I regularly have deer in my yard. Lately these turkeys have been hanging out here. Really unusual. Had them all the time at my house in Wray, but they are rare this far from the river. I hope they stay.

BREAKING NEWS: Seventy-Two Killed Resisting Gun Confiscation In Massachusetts. A National Guard task-force detailed to confiscate a cache of recently banned assault-style weapons, was ambushed by elements of an anti-Government, para-military extremist faction. Military and law enforcement sources estimate that 72 were killed and more than 200 injured before government forces were compelled to withdraw. Speaking after the clash, Massachusetts Governor Thomas Gage declared that the extremist faction, which was made up of local citizens, has links to the radical right-wing tax protest movement. Gage blamed the extremists for recent incidents of vandalism directed against internal revenue offices. The governor, who described the group’s organizers as “treasonous criminals,” issued an executive order authorizing the summary arrest of any individual who has interfered with the government’s efforts to secure law and order. The military raid on the extremist arsenal followed wide-spread refusal by the local citizenry to turn over recently outlawed assault-style weapons. Gage issued a ban on military-style assault weapons and ammunition earlier in the week. This decision followed a meeting in early this month between government and military leaders at which the governor authorized the forcible confiscation of illegal arms. One government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, pointed out that “none of these people would have been killed had the extremists obeyed the law and turned over their weapons voluntarily.” Government troops initially succeeded in confiscating a large supply of outlawed weapons and ammunition. However, troops attempting to seize arms and ammunition in Lexington met with resistance from heavily-armed extremists who had been tipped off regarding the government’s plans. During a tense standoff in the Lexington town park, National Guard Colonel Francis Smith, commander of the government operation, ordered the armed group to surrender and return to their homes. The impasse was broken by a single shot, which was reportedly fired by one of the right-wing extremists. Eight civilians were killed in the ensuing exchange. Ironically, the local citizenry blamed the government forces rather than the extremists for the civilian deaths. Before order could be restored, armed citizens from surrounding areas had descended upon the National Guard units. Colonel Smith, finding his forces over matched by the armed mob, ordered a retreat. Governor Gage has called upon citizens to support the state/national joint task force in its effort to restore law and order. The governor also demanded the surrender of those responsible for planning and leading the attack against the government troops. Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, and John Hancock, who have been identified as “ringleaders” of the extremist faction, remain at large. And this fellow Americans, is exactly how the American Revolution began, April 19, 1775. History. Learn it, or repeat it.

That's how you do it! Change your registration from GOP to Dem and make your move. Brilliant

Worth reading especially if you only get your news from MSM.

Does she know Trump won the popular vote?

We make a lot of helium in Cheyenne Wells, Colorado.

Gee, I wonder what's changed in the last 20 years here?
