9 years ago today, my buddy Craig Johnson was shot by Bonner County Sniper Shawn Deem, killing him. Since that day I have advocated for police accountability. This past week I was appointed to the Spokane Office of Police Ombudsman Commission.
Today I enjoyed my annual cigar in Craig’s memory.

Today is September 25th. It is 11:09 am. In less than 24 hour it will be the moment that my buddy, Craig Johnson will be shot in the back twice and killed by the Bonner County Sheriff’s department 9 years ago.
A lot has happened since then. I wish I could go back in time and warn him.

The Oregon Gathering of the Eagles is happening this month, Sept 18-19. The keynote speaker is Tina Peters who was convicted of criminal election tampering when she tried to overturn the 2020 election results. Trump tried to pardon her but couldn't with the state conviction.

At today’s Spokane County Commissioners meeting, the SCSO asked for $80,564.22 for 72 ballistic vests. Documentation provided simply states that the sheriff had a need. No explanation as to why the sheriff needs these vests was provided.
The commissioners approved the request.

This video is a positive view of the skywalk system in Spokane. The reviewer doesn’t get into the permanently locked skywalks or the ones that are used as a private entrance to buildings. I feel each skywalk should have a map at each end with posted hours of operation. youtu.be/Iiq7fc-AQMU?...

The Spokane County Commissioners limited public comment for public comment regarding their opposition to data centers. Then they allowed Commission French to pontificate at great length about the greatness of data centers.

Middle of the afternoon, I’m walking from River Park Square in Spokane. There’s a skywalk system that’s supposed to make getting around downtown easier.
Except, once again, the skywalk was locked.

Pretty thin evidence for Nowels to be claiming they caught the arsonist. They refer to him as a suspect but make it sound like he was already tried.
Maybe he did it. Maybe he didn’t. But the comments on social media already convicted him and are calling for execution.
Feels irresponsible of Nowels.

While out on a stroll today I ran into Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth. I asked if I could take their picture. They stood next to each other and put their arms around their waists like they weee snuggling.

Colorado prosecutors decide to charge ICE security contractor with murder in the second degree and assault for murdering a protester outside the ICE concentration camp in Aurora, CO. Apparently he thought as an ICE agent, he had a license to kill. Does Markwayne have anything to say about this?

What is sad is that this seems pretty obviously to be a mental health issue and it is not being addressed at all. This is a failure of our society and our government. It is also a failure of @StarsandStrips.bsky.social for not addressing it.

We are enjoying a weekend in Leavenworth for my amazing wife’s birthday. Drove up to Lake Wenatchee. Did some hiking. We are lucky that we seem to be in a smokeless area. The kids told us Spokane is socked in. Tomorrow we paddle the Wenatchee River.

Interested in how leopard slugs mate? Well here are two in my yard having a romantic evening. Did you know that leopard slugs have both male & female parts? Those thing you see in my pictures are their penises. They exchange semen and then pull their bits back into themselves. Nature is amazing!
