Kansan tinkering with prairie restoration. Cheer for a surprisingly large number of mostly bad teams for distraction.

US political candidate's bike rides on Strava show he doesn't live in state he's running to lead; Tadej Pogačar reportedly lobbying team to race in Europeans; Oxford Street pedestrianisation to start ...

Snow on the mountain at Prairie Center in Olathe. Kind of a funny plant to see when temperatures are in the high 90s. #nativeplants

Cabbage looper moth. Member of the owlet family. Name gives away what the caterpillars eat.
Lesser meadow katydid. Listening to these guys at night is one of the real joys of summer.

Officially lapsed into drought last week. Now under a flood watch. Nice, normal weather we're having. Nothing extreme or worrisome.
Salt marsh moth, widespread enough to be native to Kansas despite the name. Caterpillars can eat a wide variety of leaves because they have the ability to convert plant toxins into sex pheromones.
Maple spanworm moth. As the name suggests, caterpillars eat maple leaves but also a wide variety of other trees.
Elf shoe stink bug. Supposedly, there is a pattern on their back that looks like elf shoes, but I don't see it even on better pix on the web.

Elegant grass veneer moth. Lot of decoration packed into maybe a quarter-inch.
"Shame on you!" chant breaks out as Roger Marshall makes excuses for his medical debt collection practices experts called "extreme" and "unbelievably aggressive."
Guy in a diesel pickup wanted to blast exhaust at our weekly protest, but he got too excited & fired it off early so it didn't reach us. Bit embarrassing, really. Feels like an indication of the things going on in his life that lead him to be a Trump supporter.
