Life really began with #sobriety in 2005. But I like to say I'm a #grateful #alcoholic b/c I had some amazing experiences including #Crabber #Seiner in #Alaska and #WildlandFirefighter in #Montana where I grew up.

Got my B.A. in #ClinicalPsych after sobering up. Then M.S. #BioregionalPlanning. Now, small town rural #Attorney #Litigator with certs. in #WaterLaw #NatRescLaw & #EnvLaw.

Good morning,

My newest blog post is up. It’s titled ** On The Use Of Clubs. **

A snippet:

“What’s the first thing you think about when you hear the word club? Does it bring to mind a night out dancing with your friends? A day behind a fancy gate wining and dining between rounds of golf? Perhaps getting together with friends to play chess, or cards, watching birds, or exploring nature? Or, does it bring to mind something entirely different — …”

Hope you like it.

@fmhilton My state has a ton of Mormons. By and large, good people that don’t get caught up in the hating. Ocean of difference between the run of the mill Mormon and the fundamentalists.

And make no mistake, should the gain power, the Mormons will have targets on their backs.

@fmhilton Those inland northwest states are the “redoubters.” The digging into the most defensible position in the U.S. to weather the coming apocalypse.

Trust me, it’s a thing. Thousands have been flooding in over the past decade or so.

@jeremy_pm The level of irony provokes cognitive dissonance.

@violetmadder Me either. But the present seems to be a poor time to be overly picky about who our allies are.

BREAKING (no pun intended):

Recent research confirms pre-existing suspicions.

“Stepping on my own dick” is the leading cause of embarrassment among men who self-identify as “Big Swinging Dicks”

Researchers concluded the penis stepping occurred at a rate 50x the general population.

@trabex @theonion Probably. But in this context it refers to the colloquial “Stepping on your dick” which means doing something masochistically stupid.

An important blog post by @smadin

From the article:
“The surest way to immunize yourself against fascism’s insidious ability to work even well-meaning people around to accepting inhumanity by starting with the people they think are the ickiest, is to steadfastly and immovably refuse to find any people icky; to relentlessly search your heart for any shred of revulsion against your fellow humans, and incinerate it.”

I’m guilty. Not above admitting when I’m wrong, and I believe Scott is right. The most effective form of protest is satire. We must be mindful of the difference between satirising/ridiculing the human, from satirising/riduculing their deeds.

@violetmadder @smadin Really really hard. Satire helps. It helps me as a rule of thumb to always try to bring humor into the mix.

@ordabchao What are you crazy? The are never “off topic” on this page 😎

Years ago one of my old river rat buddies starting calling me “Easy” instead of Eric as a nod to my fave “Easy Wind.” It stuck.

If ya knew me in my drinking days … it was a fitting tribute

From the Article:
“Automakers are known to make some bold claims, but bold-faced lies that are meant to mislead the public is just embarrassing.”

Yes. We deserve to be told subtle lies in the shiny Madison Ave. manner we’re all accustomed to.

Pic from the local online rag today. I was waiting on a hearing when this Cletus was arraigned.

Shot his wife’s dog and then tried to strangle her. Fortunately, she was a tough old woman and fought him off.

The cross stood out to me the entire time. They always wear a cross …

Nature Communications: Fasting-mimicking diet causes hepatic and blood markers changes indicating reduced biological age and disease risk

This is me. It's just how I eat. Eating has always been a distraction to be suffered. But all my damn life people have been telling me how bad my diet is for me when all signs indicate I'm healthy as a horse. I never listened to them. Actually kind of pitied them for being chained to such a boring routine. Eat eat eat ... everything centers around eat eat eat. It's crazy to me.

@GreenRoc @Uair And, to be perfectly honest, my eating habits may be holdovers from the booze and drug days. I mean, who wants to kill a good buzz you just spent $150 bucks on with dinner?

@Uair Oh me too. And yes, my coffee is hummingbird food. You can stand a spoon in it. But honestly, 2-3 cups is still only bringing about 300 calories tops.

@buermann Right on Josh. I think you’re pounding some nails on the head here.
