See this ICE vehicle loitering in the partking lot of a popular PNW Ukranian grocery store in Fife, WA.

Turns out these were not ICE officers at all, instead these are believed to be impostors impersonating federal officials.

An official statement from ICE indicates that this was not one of their patrols and is a federal crime.

Send tips on this ICE impersonator to WAISN's immigrant-led tipline:

(844) 724-3737

Picture from a parking lot security camera. It shows a dark SUV with a large Immigration Enforcement emblem and the large text that reads "ICE"

Spring cleaning 3/x
I'm making room in the compost bin for chicken bedding and manure. We do have municipal compost (I use it for brushy material) but the chicken waste, grass and plant clippings, and most autumn leaves we compost on site. I'll spare you the details of cleaning the coop, but the chickens clean like to help. The only thing is, their idea of helping isn't quite same as mine.

A wheelbarrow full of used chicken manure and bedding. A gray and white speckled chicken has climbed up on the wheelbarrow and is in the midst of scratching some of its contents all over the ground. Rock walls and a vegetable garden bed in the background.
View from inside a chicken coop looking out the small hatch. In the foreground is dirty bedding. The ramp leads away into the outdoor run. The screen fence is visible in the back. A chicken poses on the ramp, looking skeptically through the doorway at the camera.

Spring cleaning 2. So you put compostables into the left bay. Then when they're partially done, you shift them to the middle bay, then to the right. Two turns and you're done. Here I've pulled off the newer material to get to the older stuff to move it to the right (after using the finished compost and shifting the middle bin first). This is all to make room in the left bin for the chicken manure and bedding that's coming.

Closer view of one bin of the 2 bar described in previous post. Dead leaves, green leaves fill the bay. A chicken watches from behind a fence on the left.
View of the left 2 bays, the far left one has some of the material pulled off into a pile. A digging fork sits in the pile. Chicken is still watching.
Top view of the 3 bays. Now the left one is mostly empty and the middle one is very full and the right one has just a bit in it.

Spring cleaning this weekend to get ready for new gardening season. First, the compost needs to be turned. The first thing to know about compost is that there are a lot of ways to do it, and a lot of people are convinced that theirs is the only right way. I ignore them. I am a lazy composter. I don't balance my greens and browns, I don't take temperature readings, I don't turn the piles more than a few times a year. I use the three bay system.

A compost area with 3 bays. The structure is made of cedar 2x4s and wire mesh. The bin on the left is full of leaves and has a wooden gate over its front. The other two are full of brownish black compost and their fronts are open. A storage shed and some bushes are visible in the background.

A beautiful moss covered Western red #cedar #tree - still unprotected.
Only a human, with a compromised & unwell soul, would be OK killing an elder tree this magnificent. Some things are just plain wrong.

These ancient old growth trees are essential to fighting accelerated #ClimateChange. #OldGrowth ecosystems in our coastal temperate rainforests supports much biodiverse lifeforms. The naturally moist environment helps to lower impacts of wildfires & other natural disasters that have increased as our governments continue to fund & enable more ecocidal projects.

Low-angle, wide shot of a tree trunk positioned vertically. The bark is reddish-brown, deeply textured with vertical grooves, and heavily populated with green moss. The composition emphasizes the tree's height and scale, creating a sense of upward momentum. Framing trees surround the main subject, with a diffused, white sky in the background.

I'm watching the 2-hr Safety Video that San Juan Sailing/Yachting requires all charter guests and instructors to watch. It focuses on basic boat handling skills, as well as area-specific info. If you are interested in #boating the #PNW and time to spare, why not give it a watch? You can find it here:

What cracks me up about this video is the reliance they place on crew members. I'm a mostly solo cruiser and have learned not to rely on assistance for anything.
