I’ve never been to Tacoma, that I know of, and I’ve never lived near a smelter or pulp mill. So,…what does Tacoma smell like?
If you’ve ever smelled sewer gas, you’ll know the smell.
Yes. Yuck!
Thanks, I guess. LOL
Ooh that smell
Can’t you smell that smell
Ooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you
II vaguely remember some cows near the Flett dairy in Lakewood, but where were there stockyards?
On the Tideflats. Off Lincoln Ave, IIRC.
How long ago was that? I didn’t get down that way very often when I was young, but I had a couple temp jobs there in the early-'90s. I remember big parking lots for cars that were imported from Asia. Were the stockyards gone by then?
At least with this one you can derail like crazy without too much opprobium. 
I want a horny little Jewish Princess
With a garlic aroma that could level Tacoma
aw gee, lost the appeal too.
Just FYI, Christian Cooper, the guy this woman tried to frame, has his own birding show, “Extraordinary Birder,” debuting on Nat Geo Wild on June 17th. So he actually got his own TV show as an indirect result of this event.
Now, that’s the kind of karma I like!
He had a nice piece in the NYT not long ago too.
Time Magazine’s headline writer may need a crash course in geography: “How Ukraine’s Dam Collapse Could Become the Country’s ‘Chernobyl’”
I’m pretty sure that Chernobyl was the country’s Chernobyl.
It’s a good article; the idiocy is the headline. Wouldn’t be at all surprised if they change it soon.
To be fair, when the Chernobyl disaster happened, Ukraine was part of the USSR. I’m guessing someone else wrote the title (isn’t that usually an editor thing?) since the story itself has the line:
“The consequences to come will be for our children or grandchildren, just as we are the ones now experiencing the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster, not our ancestors.”
That suggests whoever wrote the article (or at least the person that they quoted) was aware that the victims of both disasters are the same people/area.
I think changing ‘Country’s’ to ‘Generation’s’ would fix any confusion.
FWIW, it wasn’t until the miniseries a few years ago that I learned that Chernobyl wasn’t in Russia. I remember it happening in the USSR. When the USSR collapsed I was 11 years old I really didn’t pay a whole lot of attention to what ended up where. It wasn’t even until the Russian invasion that I was aware Ukraine was part of the USSR/Russia in the first place.
Yes, that would be clear and accurate, and also just more interesting.
“Serial bear-botherer” seems like a self-limiting career choice.
Eh, if he tries it on a mama bear with cubs, he won’t being trying it ever again.
I don’t know how up on bears he is in general but one would hope he’d recognize a grizzly when he sees one. Cubs or no, grizzlies don’t play that shit.
Someone stupid enough to try that shit isn’t likely to be all that up on the differences between black bears and grizzlies.
Somebody trying that shit is likely up on something.
