Moving goods—three major transportation systems in view: rail, highway, river.

Amid all these new slash pages, it’s become clear that we’ve somehow missed an obvious one. So I added it to my own site.

I’ve seen this shared this quite a bit recently, and for good reason.

My pal Randy runs one of the few true outdoor adventure blogs around. Nearly every week, he posts new trip reports, accompanied by excellent photography, about his adventures around the greater Colorado Plateau. #junited2024

Alaska has the least impressive state capitol building of all. It’s just a random looking office building with a small park across the street. (On This Day in 2019)

It’s not a blog per se, but my buddy (and Podcast Hall of Famer) Evo personally curates a great list of audio fiction podcasts that have recently aired a season or series finale. So this is a list that highlights completed stories you can binge all the way through.

Ten photos from last night’s sunset paddle down the Lower Salt River.

I get a fraction of the robocalls + confirmation text msgs since my dad died. It’s crazy how often my phone would buzz with some sort of medical appointment reminder or notification—just a constant unending barrage. I also had no fewer than nine different medical portals I had to manage. That sucked

I’m finally getting out on the river tonight for a sunset paddle, the first one of the season. Here are a couple shots from this day two years ago, when I did a full moon paddle with my friend Brittany.

Some People with Insomnia Think They’re Awake when They’re Asleep

Up All Night? You May Have Actually Been Asleep. You say you haven’t slept all night. Brain scans say you have. New science says both inferences may be right

This is absolutely me. I’m up the entire damn night and my Apple Watch claims I slept three hours.

Four years ago today, we camped on the Mogollon Rim and enjoyed this interesting sunset, fueled in part by wildfire smoke. #camping #sunset #arizona
