Neither a mountain nor a molehill, but something in between. Yesterday I explored around the base of the Vermilion Cliffs east of Kanab, UT, and checked out the many moods of the Chinle Formation.

The Coolidge High School team that displayed shitty behavior toward our Navajo high school basketball players from Chinle High have been disqualified. The video circulating is horrendous!

The Chinle Formation is unmistakable. In other areas - near Capitol Reef, for example - it contains quantities of petrified wood. I've seen entire petrified logs in that region. I hope you have a peaceful Sunday!

Dinking around in the rimrock just west of the Paria River on the first cool (or at least cool-ish) morning in weeks. Delightful!

2 Mentally-ill men will kill us all!!

My daughter received the memo yesterday asking her to resign or accept a buyout.

Stupidity can kill – and this admin is nothing but stupid.

She is an audiologist in Chinle, AZ. That makes her a "government employee."
