<b>UHG! </b>The wildfire smoke from Canada and local sources is hitting us HARD! Atmospheric particular matter (PMI) readings in the 400's today -- which is among the highest on the planet right now according to the <a href="https://www.purpleair.com/map#9.92/48.4415/-120.3021" target="_blank">air quality index listing</a> at PurpleAir.com... We've had intermittent smoke and good/bad days over the two weeks since the first strip, but it has been consistently worse just to our south. The lack of air movement is layering it in all around and there is no real change in site. Stay inside if you can. The wolverines and other critters have far fewer options. <b>GRRR!</b></div>

It seems to me that free time is filled with too many practical and objective pursuits these days. I mean, its one thing if you're older and using that time to pursue a passion or to get on track with some other thing that leads to something else, and I'm all for a high bar and goals and drive... but for kids - especially kids of a younger age - they really don't need to be getting ahead on next year's school work with their summer time lazy days. Relaxed is relaxed, a wandering mind is good. A laser focus on the "next thing" or some sort of objective lesson with literally EVERY activity will only wear you down before your time.</div>

I'm late in posting last week's strip -- which is too bad because I was pretty happy with it :) So many of these little comics are just a reaction to everyday normal things like the weather etc. (RE WINDY of late!) but then I get to draw some cute animals and try to find a little humor in it. As always, enjoy!Erik Brookshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04354811186888912444noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678551750571459965.post-60575254175713082492018-07-09T13:17:00.002-07:002018-07-09T13:17:40.024-07:007.2.18<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Up in the mountains since the 4th of July. A summer-like tardiness to the posting of this strip but the sentiment rings true -- and perhaps even more so as we move past holiday feelings of freedom on to taking a measure of the actual freedoms that we should cultivate and encourage. Onward! </div>

Summer started last week, but I was busy celebrating that 400th strip. For that matter, with highs today really just barely reaching 70 degrees, the swimming hole will be slightly more appealing in another week or two. Not a huge fan of the "hot" part of summer... so I'm good.

A little behind on the uploads from last week. NOT because of imminent flooding, but there <i>have</i> been a lot of happenings in the studio and beyond.<br />
<br />
And this week's strip basically sums the goings on of the greater world. Things like clean energy, higher cafe standards, regulations to protect worker's rights or to prevent stupid things from happening with the banking industry... some things are just better for everyone. I mean seriously! Except of course for those very few who stand to make a lot of many from continued pillaging and abuse. Anyway, the river's up.<br />
<br />
Until next week!Erik Brookshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04354811186888912444noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678551750571459965.post-60039752991952430502018-05-11T07:00:00.000-07:002018-05-11T07:00:02.454-07:005.9.18<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<a href="https://www.wsdot.wa.gov/Traffic/Passes/NorthCascades/2018ProgressMap.htm" target="_blank">WSDOT reports</a> that the North Cascades Highway will open on Friday -- just in time for the 49er's Day Weekend here in Winthrop, WA. Always an important boon to the start of summer tourism, this open stretch of scenic highway through the heart of the north cascades is also a popular bike route -- especially in the week or so period of time when its just <i>almost </i> done but not quite open to cars. The wolverines and other non-cycling members of the animal kingdom must also take a least a passing fancy to these pre-car days of open road. Enjoy! </div>

Spring is nice, but I feel like it IS a bit of a mixed bag. For those of us that love skiing, it's warm and sunny and thrilling in its own way when we can ski just a <i>wee </i>bit longer into the "shoulder season." At the same time however, it is spring after all, and the skiing can just as easily suck eggs. On the other side of the equation - for those winter haters that are desperate for sun and warm - spring is enticingly fickle. It <i>feels</i> warm and alluring... but it can just as equally suck eggs. And thusly, the "discontent." </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
From the idea development department, "Now is the winter of our discontent" is the opening line from Shakespeare's Richard III (1592), and it <i>actually </i>translates with a little more context into something like: <i>the time of unhappiness in past. </i> So I guess, but saying that spring is a season of discontent and dashed expectations, I'm probably using it incorrectly. Alas, so it goes. Interpret as you see fit!</div>

The first week of spring -- and the snow is slowly but surely starting to peel back from warmer patches of dirt and the occasional rock or bitter brush poking through. Still below freezing over night, so we'll hold on to a solid morning crust and a remaining 4-6 inches for at least another week or two!<br />Erik Brookshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04354811186888912444noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678551750571459965.post-32163294268260703822018-03-16T06:30:00.000-07:002018-03-16T06:30:12.052-07:003.14.17<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As the comic says, a heartfelt thank you to Congressman Newhouse for his endorsement of the <a href="https://www.methowheadwaters.org/" target="_blank">Methow Headwater's Campaign</a> and its tireless work to protect both the local and the statewide watershed. Official approval is now in the hands of the Department of the Interior and the Deparment of Agriculture, but the <a href="https://newhouse.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/newhouse-supports-local-community-s-request-methow-headwaters-mineral" target="_blank">supportive letter from Newhouse</a> and the ongoing work of many people has this effort headed in a good direction. #toospecialtomine #protectthemethow #nomazamamine</div>
