As is my August 21 tradition, I will be revisiting "Regarding Cocktails", remembering a friend, mentor and inspiration, Sasha Petraske, who died on this day 8 years ago. Wherever you are, hold a proper daiquiri high at 9pm EST in his honor. He is missed by many.

"Recreational & commercial salmon fishing is closed on the ocean in CA and most of OR this year, due to the collapse of fall-run Chinook salmon on the Sacramento & Klamath River watersheds, spurred by poor (read: greedy) water & fishery management by state & Fed governments."

Just ANOTHER example of demonstrably failed systems, corporate negligence and bureacratic ineptitude, all colliding in a profit-driven "reality" that has enough bootlicking lapdogs suffering from Stockholm syndrome supporting it that it continues unabated. #Decolonize or die.

#GoodFire is not optional. It's either GF or more of the same: environmental degradation. #JoinUs in this urgent work. In NorCal? Observe our next burn.

And the bootlickers don't care because Putin is bad. Look at this travesty I saw in Sac recently... Not only a violation of the flag code, but also a violation of my eyes.

And the old ones, too.

Oh, we have been. Come have a steak with us next time you're in NorCal and see what we're DOING about it. Conversations are important, but action is urgent.

Why wait?!
