I’ve been here too, but never in winter. This is the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, between the old mining towns of Durango and Silverton, Colorado.

Stella's Place 
Good mornin’, and Happy taco day! We’re under two weeks until they start taking out the trash, so we just have to hang on. Here’s keeping with the theme of the day. Keep your head on a swivel, as it appears some plans are being made, and carpe’ your coffee! (according to the picture, this is a coffee maker and not a teapot) I don’t make the news, I just report it!

Thanks T! Reaching out from under my blankets with my poor, frozen hands to grab a mug! Actually, of course I’m exaggerating. It’s cold as heck, bad wind chill, but I am fortunately toasty. I just hate the cold. I do miss my fireplace though, on days like this.
Good morning!

Biden Gave Radical Abortion Groups $1.2 Billion in Taxpayer Funds
By Hayden Ludwig | Jan 6, 2025 | 7:18PM | Washington, DC
Since taking office in 2021, the Biden administration has funneled at least $1.23 billion into a handful of pro-abortion groups from American taxpayers—much of which went to loosening abortion laws and encouraging abortions overseas.
Two federal laws—the Hyde and Helms Amendments—are supposed to bar federal funds from subsidizing abortions either in America or overseas. Yet Democrats have poured billions of dollars out of the federal government to groups that actively lobby against abortion restrictions, or even provide abortions on destitute Africans. All oppose the Hyde and Helms Amendments—sometimes lobbying for their overturn with taxpayer dollars.

Afternoon All. I don’t know what the temp is because he thermometer hasn’t been set up at the new place. However, I am smart enough to say “It is cold.” Still snow on the ground, but the roads are good. It is supposed to snow starting tomorrow afternoon.
Just stopped in to say “Hi”. Gotta go back for more stuff. Have a good one.

The online weather report says you’re at 30 degrees at 1:00 PM. Doable but you don’t want to be outside too long without your long johns on.

“Hundreds of bald eagles return to Lake Coeur d’Alene for yearly salmon feast”
Wed., Jan. 1, 2025
By Cannon Barnett – January 1, 2025
It doesn’t take long to spot a bald eagle along the Lake Coeur d’Alene shoreline in December, with hundreds of birds flocking to the area to feast during the annual kokanee salmon spawn.
Indeed, the first thing greeting visitors to Higgens Point is the crisp smell of rain coupled with decaying fish as thousands of dead kokanee pile up on rocky beaches. The eagles and their eager human observers don’t seem to mind.
