do you refill those water bowls?
That's super cool!
The rain fills the bedrock mortars which are dry most of the year. It rained a couple nights ago. Where the deer grass is to the right, is a natural spring that flows for most of the year, except during the pre-monsoon drought in early Summer (now). We add water upstream of the spring to keep water in the spring for the few weeks when the spring would otherwise be dry. The nearest perennial spring is two miles up canyon. Last year, we hand carried fifteen hundred gallons of water to the spring. This year, we ran four hundred feet of hose so we don't have to hand carry the water.

Hose > Jugs (no gay)

I'd carry a jug to the mortars for game cam action. That was very cool thank you.
I was awakened by coyotes out on the street this morning.

Coyotes on my land…

Cute, we've got a clutch (earth? leash? skulk?) of yearling foxes living under our shed, I've seen 4 (it was at least 5 last year when they were newborns). They like to bring me gifts in the form of deer, bird, and racoon remains.
Two of my cats watching one of them.

Don't mind the fuzziness, zoomed in phone camera 'reinterpreted' by telegram compression. That shot was from ~30' away, this one is probably tamer than it should be.

Are you spying on my YouTubing? I've recently been on an extended binge of that channel's videos (and a couple of other channels on the same topic). It's kind of fascinating, the stories behind aviation disasters. And that guy does an excellent job of explaining them (I think he's a pilot trainer by profession).

Seems as if 99% of them are due to very long chains of bits of bad luck and mistakes by many different people, that just happen to come together for a statistical "Murphy's law" kind of reason.

But seems like there's a small sub-category, like 0.5%, that are largely due to staggering incompetence or arrogance by individual pilots (and a further 0.5% that could maybe be ascribed to corporate concern with cost-savings over safety - it's actually surprising to me that is so rarely the main factor - seems that generally the industry does give safety an extremely high priority)
