Two #Tourists got lost, attempted to drive across salt flat in #DeathValleyNationalPark and got stuck last month; man treated for heat illness (will be charged with illegal off-road driving and the resulting damage to the park - probably caused damage that will take a very long time to disappear) #NationalParks#NPS#rescue

Red Lodge, the Beartooths & Yellowstone were amazing & there are a lot of photos to come.
The harmony has been off this year when it comes to photography. I’m trying to get back at it. Vacation helped. I’ve missed the camera and the photo editing screen.
Let’s make the second half of the year way more productive & fun than the first.
A tree swallow (Tachycineta bicolor) in Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. Note the visible brood patch in the center of his chest. In preparation for incubating eggs birds will sometimes pluck some of their feathers so they can better transmit their body heat to their eggs.

1/8 Today was my first meeting with a new psych from #HMO, whom I was referred to after my plea to mental healthcare mgmt. My hope was that this was going to be a discussion leading to formal #assessment, but this doesn’t seem to be the case so far.
Within the first 20 minutes, I was told it’s common for parents to erroneously self-diagnose. He felt the same way after caring for his AuDHD child, he said.
3/8 It felt just like talking to school admin types about my son… that #condescending we know what we’re doing tone. The same tone they used when describing to #lawyers how they had my son in an #isolation room for over a month because they just didn’t know how to work with him. That got him an extremely rapid referral to #NPS, and he’s doing much better now with appropriate support.
Asking "if #NPS is bad, what one metric should we use instead?" is a lot like asking "if this magic wand doesn't work, should we try a staff or an orb?"
