McKenzie River Trail Backpacking: Day 2
Saturday was all about waterfalls. Sahalie Falls was amazing as well as a couple smaller waterfalls downstream. Had to navigate a sketchy, wet trail to get the photo of Sahalie, but worth it.
My lightly sprained ankle felt good when I woke up but after hiking 20 miles, it hurt a bit.
Saw tons of ultramarathoners running a 50K on the trail as well.

It’s time to upgrade my work computer and I am struggling to find a way to keep using Macs/macOS. I currently rely on Parallels to run Windows on my 2020 MacBook Pro to build Windows x86/x64 applications. The Apple Silicon Macs are not a viable option unless I pay for a Windows VM in the cloud. Am I missing any other workarounds? Can I compile x86/x64 apps using Windows on ARM? #softwaredev #windowsonarm #macos #macbookpro
Conservatism doesn't conserve anything except a particular demographic's unearned power.
Conservative contrariness appears arbitrary and absurd -- "no masks or vaccines ever, even for my pets!" -- but it is merely about rejecting the imposition of any obligation on that group no matter how trivial.
To that end, conservatism will always embrace violence and fascism if that demographic feels like it can't get its way through the usual institutions, which are already set up in its favor.

LIVE IN MIAMI
Looking from the Reuters News helicopter hovering over the Miami federal court house, the Trump crowd looks extremely small compared to what the authorities feared.
Please tell me WHY the Republican candidates fear the Trumpers again?
