#LearningDanish#DanskerTrut Er fiskeri populær i Danmark? If so, what species of fisk do danskere usually try to catch? Tak! 🎣

Dagens solnedgang. #ScandiOregon

@newsguyusa@flipboard.social Also, a study is being funded to see the feasibilty of requiring a set of semaphore flags to be included in the trunk of every new vehicle by 2030.

With smoke and without smoke. 🙁 #UpperWillamette#Cascadia

A nice harvest af kartoffler i morges. I got about 14 kg from about 2.3 square meters of garden area. A little less per square meter than last year. (These are Dark Red Norland potatoes.) #danglish#ScandiOregon #GrowFood

A gardening question I'm throwing out into the Fediverse: Is there a summer cover crop that will grow in Cascadia that deer will leave alone? #gardening #Oregon #Washington #Cascadia

We've been given more, i dag, og jeg elsker det! 🙏 #danglish

#LearningDanish What is an English equivalent of the dansk noun 'kule'? Does it mean 'pit'? My Rød Ordbog doesn't have this one listed, either. Tak!

My daughter teases me that I don't ever read any works of fiction (which is true -- it's history, archaeology, or botany for me). I decided to read some fiction, this week.

These bots are irritating the shit out of me! I've blocked at least six that are boosting to no followers, tonight. I post something with a hashtag and boom, two or three of these new bots appear with my post's hashtag as their profile name. I ended up blocking the whole damn domain.

While wading through endless, dense, lush foliage, I got a fleeting glimpse of the rumored, ripening currant tomato. #GrowFood #UpperWillamette

@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org This so, so, so fucked up! I wish I was shocked or suprised.

@NormanDunbar@mastodon.scot 👏🏼

@SorenMRiis@helvede.net When we first moved to the Cascade foothills, twenty-five years ago, our last spring frost was in late May. This year, it was in late April. More evidence of our quickly-changing environment. 😬

#BookAndBeerCheck The book: Children of Ash and Elm: A History of the Vikings by Niel Price, 2020 A 500+ page tome I wish every 'Viking' wannabe would read. The beer: Magnetic Fields, hazy IPA Fort George Brewery, Astoria, Oregon I'm not much of a fan of IPAs but I can't think of one beer by Fort George I've never liked.

A little rain. I'll take it! #UpperWillamette

@PhoenixSerenity@beige.party Here's a book I bought a couple of months ago. I haven't had time to dive into it, yet, but it looks fascinating:

"Ex-NOAA employees re-create a valuable climate data site shut down by Trump" #climatehttps://www.npr.org/2026/06/26/nx-s1-5869615/climate-noaa-data-trump-doge

Does anybody have any recommendations for books geared toward introducing solar power to people that don't know rip about it (like me) and that also have practical, usable information? Thanks! 🙂 #solar#SolarPower

@MarkHoltom@mastodonapp.uk Haha! 🤣 (It took a minute, though.)

"How did you become a Deadhead?" "Beginning Aug. 1, NPR Music will publish a week-long list of stories and podcast episodes exploring the legacy and future of the Grateful Dead fandom. And we want to hear from you!" "We want to know: How did you become a fan of the Grateful Dead? Maybe it was a specific album that converted you, or you were transformed by a show you saw. And what would you say to someone who just doesn't understand the band's appeal?" I'm not a Deadhead, myself (at all), but the Upper Willamette Valley is full of them! #Deadhead#Eugene#Corvallis#CottageGrove#Oregonhttps://www.npr.org/2026/07/27/nx-s1-5897507/how-did-you-become-a-deadhead

WTF?! I heard hollering outside our window then saw a redneck, wearing a Confederate flag like a cape, zip by on a bike. Makin' 'merica great again.

@nickfrederiksen@expressional.social Wauw! Impressive.

"Georgia family says they're forced to sell home to help power AI data centers..." "Utility giant Georgia Power is planning to build a new transmission line to in part help power new data centers.

@quinn@social.circl.lu "...ecosystem of cults." I've seen these tendencies in cultures completely different than the US.

Boy, the air quality has gotten especially shitty in the last hour. #UpperWillamette

Well, hell! A wildfire just started less than five kilometers upwind of us. You know it's close when burned leaves start falling from the sky. #UpperWillamette#Oregon
