Give me the man and I will give you the case against him is a saying that was popularized in the Soviet Union and in Poland in the period of the People’s Republic of Poland, attributed to the Stalinist jurist Andrey Vyshinsky, or the Soviet secret police chief Lavrentiy Beria. It refers to the miscarriage of justice in the form of the abuse of power by the jurists, who could find any defendant guilty of “something”, if they so desired.
On a highway in the midwest US and the shoulders are clean, but also covered in snow. The snow is a double edge here with equally covering up and making trash more visibly at the same time.
Awesome reply, and inspiring for what I might find in the last place I would have looked.

My roommate did maintenance at a driving range and one day he found a chick without feathers on the ground. After giving the parents enough time to do something about it he brought it home and we raised Frankie ourselves. She would perch on my shoulder and play with my earrings. We’d leave the door open and she would fly around outside, but always came back.
I had some raven buddies when I lived in Seattle. Loved greeting them in the morning and tossing them breakfast.
We also have an itinerant hummingbee atour current home. I don’t get to see him as much since I quit smoking but the tradeoff is worth it.
They’re not as bad as a murder of crows.
That’s a cool plan. Cremation or tree pod burial for myself.
Deservedly so
