If you can pull for the Republican Party because they are middle class champions, I can pull for the Minnesota Vikings because they are Super Bowl champions.

Being artsy
Marty’s photo of the day #2233: I don’t remember much about this photo, except that I took it in Canada, north of the Arctic Circle, and I was trying to be artsy.
If you can . . . (part 2)
If you can watch Fox News for their accurate reporting, I can watch Arnold Schwarzenegger movies for their superb acting.
If you can . . .
If you can support Donald Trump and call yourself a Christian, I can eat fish and call myself a vegan.
Wild turkey
Marty’s photo of the day #2232: Deb: “Marty, there are a bunch of wild turkeys behind the garage. One lied down in the grass, and now it looks just like a log.” I didn’t see that turkey until she stood up right in front of me.
Who knew that being president was so easy?
Crybaby Trump tweeted this morning: “Watched low rated @Morning_Joe for first time in long time. FAKE NEWS. He called me to stop a National Enquirer article. I said no! Bad show” Even though it’s an embarrassment to all Americans that our low-rated president regularly gets into Twitter feuds, the media needs to stop getting its […]
Let’s supersize our health care instead
I read in the newspaper this morning that Republicans don’t think Donald Trump’s proposed massive increase in military spending is enough, and they want to increase it further. So Republicans want to take health care away from millions of Americans to pay for a tax cut for the rich, yet they think we have plenty […]
Sticky geranium
Marty’s photo of the day #2231: Here’s another wildflower blooming in Montana’s mountains: sticky geranium.
The Klein Matterhorn
Marty’s photo of the day #2230: It’s a world of snow and ice. My view from the top of the Klein Matterhorn in Switzerland (elevation: 12,740).
Yay nature!
Marty’s photo of the day #2229: When I took this photo, I was standing inside the caldera of a volcano, at Deception Island, near Antarctica. Ocean water fills the much of the interior of the Deception Island volcano, and there used to be a whaling station there. Fortunately, Mother Nature destroyed the whaling station with […]
The prey has a job to do
Marty’s photo of the day #2228: Here’ an excerpt from my fist book, Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents: Woof! “Everyone, sit!” whispered Brian. “A pack of Cape hunting dogs is directly in front of us!” The dogs were an animal I had hoped, but never expected, to see. Cape hunting dogs are […]
Don’t blame the cow
Marty’s photo of the day #2227: I know that cows contribute to global warming and that range cows, like this one, are incredibly destructive to the environment. But that’s the fault of humans, not the cows. When I was a kid, my first “wildlife” photo, other than a squirrel, was a cow. All these years […]
Missouri iris
Marty’s photo of the day #2226: Here is another of the 33 species of wildflower we spotted last weekend, hiking in the mountains near Hall, Montana. My wife, Deb, does the identification, and I do the photography. She identified this flower as a Missouri iris.
Puffball mushroom or alien egg?
Marty’s photo of the day #2225: Here’s another photograph from last weekend, hiking in the mountains. Is it a puffball mushroom or an alien egg that will hatch into some hideous monster? I’m just not sure.
The Bella photobomb
Marty’s photo of the day #2224: Taking a mountaintop family photo can be tricky—especially when dogs are involved. This photo is from last weekend, near the Forest Service cabin we rented. To take this photo, I had to set my camera on my pack, adjust the settings, push the shutter button, and run to get […]
This tree brings its own ornaments
Marty’s photo of the day #2223: This tree, at the top of a mountain in Montana, didn’t need no stinkin’ Christmas ornaments. It had its own!
Cusick’s speedwells
Marty’s photo of the day #2222: Here’s another of the 33 species of wildflower we saw this past weekend, while hiking in the mountains near Hall, Montana. The purplish-blue flowers are Cusick’s speedwells. As for the white flower, we’re not sure. There are so many little flowers like that—it could be any of a number […]
Arnica Flowers
You can see two Montana towns from here
Marty’s photo of the day #2220: I didn’t post a photo of the day yesterday, as I was Internet free for the weekend. On Saturday, Deb and I took our granddaughter, Fiona, to the Douglas Creek Cabin, which is a Forest Service cabin near Hall, Montana. Then, on Sunday, my son Sean and his wife, […]
What Greg Gianforte meant by “full responsibility”
Republican Congressman-elect Greg “The Body Slammer” Gianforte (first breath): “I take full responsibility for my actions.” Republican Congressman-elect Greg “The Body Slammer” Gianforte (next breath): “As long as I don’t have to pose for a mug shot. That isn’t included in my responsibility. Mug shots are only for commoners. I’m a rich multimillionaire. People like […]
