My favorite place to get some peace and quiet is the Pawnee Buttes. This was an especially beautiful morning.

Two buttes at sunrise draped in fog. A lone figure stands in the distance.
A cow silhouetted by morning sun stands amongst golden grass.
An antelope looks askance in front of rolling golden hills.

Here's what we're reading today:

The accuracy of some #Western weapons has decreased due to Russian electronic warfare, The Washington Post reports.

This refers to satellite-guided weapons. In particular, Excalibur missiles and HIMARS systems. #Kyiv has stopped using them.
