Same family but vastly underrated, Osprey.

Saw this at the park today and had to stop to take a quick picture. Not sure what year it is, maybe a '79, but it was in very good condition.
It make me think of LoboMan, from the old board, which made me think about some of the great contests we had with New Mexico. Their basketball program was more competitive many years than football, but we have some great contests with both. Wasn’t it New Mexico that took out Bryan Johnson near the end of our home game against them in 2005, to setup the surprise win against BYU the following week, featuring Brett Ratliff?
And wasn’t New Mexico our only conference basketball loss in 1998?
Damned Lobos

My brother pointed out the Hell Camino as we drove past. Not my picture. I’d drive it though, despite my current disgust with its creators.

Interesting. For me it’s the mountains. If I am in a flat area, I feel a little bit agoraphobic without landmarks in the horizon.
Deserts make me think not of Utah but Arizona, where my grandparents migrated for the winters for years and I’d get to occasionally visit. See also cacti.
I’m with you on the deserts. I love alpine scenery and hike/ride my bike all summer in the Wasatch but there’s something about the desert that hits my soul.
Touche.

I spent a decade regularly traveling to South Florida for work, and invested the better part of a year retrying my brain to manage directions without the mountains.

Well, if you ate more rats, we wouldn’t have this problem.

How do you think he, Louis, and LeStat survived the Black Plague. He’s become more civilized now.

Pre or post COVID?

Um… definitely not post covid, that would require time travel to the future.
Current Covid.
Does Bane wear that mask because his heart condition makes vaccination too risky?
Looks like a Cooper’s Hawk. They’re badass. A buddy of mine in Millcreek gets pissed at them for occasionally taking out quail he’s been feeding in their yard. Just the circle of life.
Isn’t that Bryant JHS/Middle/whatever the hell they call it now?
We have two and sometimes three red tails that live in a nest in a tall tree about 1/2 block from our house in Taylorsville along the bluff west of the Jordan River so we see them all the time. Yesterday one was just lazily floating around an old, dead poplar they like to hang out in across the street. Pretty big bird. This time of year we also see bald eagles on occasion. Being down by the river is kind of cool with the different wildlife you can see like foxes, deer (especially down by the South Jordan water treatment plant), brown tail bats, and a huge variety of birds.

I’m amazed that in an sub/urban setting, nature still finds a way. There is some greenspace built into our neighborhoods and I’ve seen deer (sometimes more than a dozen together), fox, badger, coyote, tons of rabbit & squirrel (food source!), and of course, multiple raptors (hawks, owls). Our escaped Russian tortoise is out there somewhere. We even have an occasional bear wander through the neighborhood and backyards. I haven’t seen it, but some have seen a turkey or two. Regarding the owls, one likes to perch on a house behind us or in our tree and the other birds (usually mountain blue jays, but sometimes black birds) make a racket surrounding and swooping in to get the owl to leave (who usually just turns it’s head and scares them back a few feet).
