REI changed about 25 years ago and it took a while for people to notice/the changes to filter through enough. Was talking recently about similar changes with MEC in Canada with a f…

I remember in 2018 there were only 18 Kokanee counted spawning from Lake Sammamish. "A striking ebb in the number of Kokanee salmon in Lake Sammamish, just east of Seattle, has off…

Depending on how far back you want to look at electric cars you can find them for pretty cheap. Sub $5k versions from 10 years ago were tempting recently when my partner needed a r…
