5 pm Main to Glenwood #Boise River greenbelt report: 33°F and clear, aside from the construction sign in my #bike lane (again, at the same location). I wonder if Valley Glass is responsible for this? They love parking on the sidewalk and blocking the bike lane in front of their business. I counted 3 bikes, 14 peds, and 4 good dogs this evening. #cycling #carbonFootprint #cardio #bikeTooter #idaho

7:30 am Glenwood to Main #Boise River greenbelt report: 22°F and still. I take Adams from Glenwood to Veterans when it’s much below freezing. Then the southern greenbelt to the pedestrian bridge where I cross over. I only counted 2 bikes and 2 peds this morning. No good dogs. In fairness, I can’t blame them for wanting to sleep in. #cycling #carbonFootprint #cardio #bikeTooter #Idaho
I know the #Idaho Congressional Delegation said 2-3 years ago they had no intention of banning abortions. They were smiling, knowing the Idaho State legislature would do that job for them. Now these asswipes will finish the job if they can get #Trump back into the White House. #PutinAndTrump are brothers in bed.

@FinchHaven
I've done a lot of thinking about this, as well as some serious activism, to develop ways to prevent the threats & then if you can't, to ensure there are negative consequences to those who threaten others.
I covered one way to do this with @MattBinder I talked about the civil lawsuit from St. Luke's Hospital in Boise #Idaho against #AmmonBundy & his mob for threatening & defaming the staff. This model can be used in other cases where people are threatened.

Hospitals that #refuse to treat #pregnant women should lose all government funding whether that is Medicare or Medicaid and whether or not the funding is targeted for women or the general population. If a hospital refuses to treat women appropriately, shut it down. The government can build hospitals for women. The ass prick men and women who disagree can find care elsewhere.

I guess I’m the first to ask for one for personal use, so it was made especially for me. I feel so grateful for and proud of where I come from! Now I just need to get the wrinkles out and figure out where to display it in little ol’ #Idaho… Happy #NAHM to my fellow #Natives! We’re still here! ✊🏽
Standing high above the river flowing through the gorge below, you have an unparalleled view of the landscape. The panorama of hills extends off into the distance, and you realize that you can see far, quite far -- the big picture, so to speak.
But not the details. To see those, you must get close.

#Nuclear fallout: Scrapped reactors and Manchin’s move
By HANNAH NORTHEY, 11/09/2023
"A highly anticipated advanced nuclear energy project was scrapped this week, signaling that the technology may have a rocky future despite billions of dollars in federal investment.
"#NuScalePower and a group of local electric utilities announced on Wednesday that they’re abandoning plans to build six first-of-a-kind modular reactors near Idaho Falls, #Idaho, writes Zach Bright. The project was set to receive as much as $1.4 billion from the Department of Energy — in a so-called cost-share deal — but couldn’t attract enough power subscribers.
"Small, factory-built reactors have long been touted as a possible lifeline for the nation’s aging nuclear sector and a carbon-free way to replace retiring coal-fired power plants. But some experts have questioned whether the industry can grow fast enough to curb power emissions.
"'It could be seen as another notch towards the idea of ‘this is a bit more #hype than reality,' said Eric Gimon, a senior fellow for energy think tank Energy Innovation. Electricity from the #NuScale reactors, he said, was ultimately too costly for local utilities."

I enjoy hiking. And I am old enough and have done it long enough to have come to a point of doing it my way -- not the TV show way, or the hiking magazine way, or the sports catalog that wants to sell me hiking clothes way. And my way is to make sure I stop, frequently, to BE in my surroundings.

Ahhhh. Last hot springs soak for the year. I always love a drive to Idaho City on a bluebird day like this. #Idaho #HotSprings
In our hotel and waiting for the rain here in #SanFrancisco to ease off a bit before wandering down to the pier and boarding the ship. Enjoyed a stroll around Fisherman's Wharf yesterday evening; good vibe, good entertainment. A city we'd like to come back and see more of. Great trip getting here, no troubles, all a bit tiring though. Fab cocktails in the hotel bar last night. Anyway, here, have a photo from the plane over #Idaho yesterday.
Last week my sister took me to a fossil site she discovered in McCall, Idaho. It was fun digging up leaf fossils in the sediments thought to be about 16 million years old, when the local flora was dominated by deciduous hardwoods (gingkos!) and redwoods.

Feds OK #NaturalGasPipeline expansion in #PacificNorthwest over #environmentalist #protests
By CLAIRE RUSH
Updated 6:41 PM EDT, October 19, 2023
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — "Federal regulators on Thursday approved the expansion of a natural gas pipeline in the Pacific Northwest over the protest of environmental groups and top officials in West Coast states, who said it goes against the region’s plans to address #ClimateChange and could pose a #wildfire risk.
"The project, known as GTN Xpress, aims to expand the capacity of the Gas Transmission Northwest pipeline, which runs through Idaho, Washington and Oregon, by about 150 million cubic feet (4.2 million cubic meters) of natural gas per day. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission gave it the green light in a vote on Thursday.
"#TCEnergy plans to modify three compressor stations along the pipeline — in #KootenaiCounty, #Idaho; #WallaWalla County, #Washington; and #ShermanCounty, #Oregon. Compressor stations help maintain the pressure and flow of gas over long distances in a pipeline.
"Environmental groups criticized the decision."

"Critical Thinking" isn't such a difficult concept to define. It simply means to question the things we're told. That's it. At first, such a process is difficult, especially for someone who watches a lot of TV and "news," but the more we do it, the more natural it becomes.

Beginning this year, Idaho public schools will require a financial literacy course for high school graduation.
Gee, I wonder if the curriculum covers this real-life Idaho math problem:
Seventeen-year-old woman has unwanted pregnancy
Given:
* abortion is illegal in her state
* Idaho law explicitly restricts minors' out-of state travel for abortions
* helping a pregnant minor get an abortion in another state is punishable by 2 to 5 years in prison
How much savings does she need to cover:
* round-trip transportation to an out-of-state healthcare provider
* out-of-state food and lodging
* cost of medical procedure
* lost wages from weekend job
* legal fees to fight prosecution of whomever assisted her in seeking out-of-state care

As Audrey Dutton reports, since banning abortion, Idaho has dismantled support systems for pregnancies and births. She writes,
"Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last year, the state’s GOP-led Legislature has disbanded a maternal mortality committee, failed to expand postpartum Medicaid coverage and turned down federal grants for child care."

"#Idaho Banned #Abortion. Then It Turned Down Supports for Pregnancies and Births", because of course they did.
These fellows aren't "pro-life", they are pro-control, pro-corporation, and pro-owner class.
Alternatively, they could let go of their other RW positions:
-health care only through employer
-low minimum wage
-high cost of child care
-corporate owned housing.
But they won't.

This photo, of the local Safeway’s coupon, shows that the store is incentivizing shoppers to get a #flu #vaccine - shocked me. In a good way.
Shocked because this was in my wife’s hometown in northern #idaho where #antivax protestors made a huge fuss during the #covid lockdown.
So I’m curious…
Are any of you around the #US also seeing this at your local #safeway or other drugstores?
Actions have consequences.
"The four OB-GYNs who previously worked at Bonner General, meanwhile, have left #Idaho to practice in states where #abortion is legal. All four told NBC News that the state’s ban contributed to their decisions to move.
As a whole, the situation has left mothers-to-be in Bonner County to contend with an unexpected consequence of their state’s abortion policy: reduced access to medical care for women whose pregnancies are very much wanted."

The goal, Hearron said, is twofold — to demonstrate that pregnant people are being denied timely medical care wherever abortion is banned, and to give clarity to doctors who he described as “terrified” of providing the procedure."

Idaho Created a $25 Million Fund to Fix Unsafe #Schools.
Why Is Nobody Using It?

About a decade ago, one school district went to the state for money to fix its crumbling buildings.
It got a fraction of what it asked for.
Since then, no other district has even applied.
