WA DNR is a disaster.
Its incompetent "leadership" is costing WA taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars. DNR needs new leadership.

There's a part of being a dog owner we don't talk about enough. We all know, deep down, that one day the Rainbow Bridge will come into view-but most of us do our best to tuck that thought away, somewhere far in the back of our minds. We focus instead on the wagging tails, the muddy paw prints, the quiet companionship on long days and even longer nights.
That's the trade we make without ever signing a paper.
But when the time comes, and our best friend, our shadow, our loyal partner crosses over, it leaves a space that never quite fills back in. Not really. You can clean up the toys, put away the bowls, even convince yourself you're "moving on," but that silence... it lingers.
That's why getting another dog can feel like such a battle.

It's not about not loving dogs. It's because you loved one so deeply that the thought of walking that road again, knowing exactly how it ends, feels almost too heavy to carry. You remember the last look, the last walk, the last time they rested their head on your knee... and you wonder if your heart can take that kind of goodbye again.
But if there's any truth in all of it, it's this: they were worth it.
Every single moment.
And maybe, just maybe, the reason it hurts so much is because of how much love there was in the first place. 🐶💛

Everyone is trying to claim me for their tribe. There’s no R next to my name, there’s no D next to my name. I’m not part of a political party, because I hate politicians. I’m just Spencer, husband to Heidi, father to Ryker and Gunner, and I’m a pissed off Angeleno who loves my city and is fed up with what corrupt politicians have done to her.

[Coug62 @coug62]

@RealJamesWoods @spencerpratt There are millions of us that now feel this way. We are with you buddy 💯😃

There’s a generation a lot of people forget exists. We were born at the tail end of the Boomers, but we are not culturally the same as people born in the 40s and early 50s. We are Generation Jones.

And honestly, it explains a lot.

We grew up in a world that still felt fundamentally analog, but we were young enough to be dragged headfirst into the digital revolution. We are the bridge generation between rotary phones and smartphones, between slide rules and AI, between Walter Cronkite and algorithm driven media.

We remember when there were only a few television channels and the entire country watched the same thing at the same time. We also adapted to the internet, email, forums, social media, streaming and now artificial intelligence. We lived before and after the technological singularity hit everyday life.

That is not a small thing.

People born in the 40s came of age in a post World War II America that was still industrial, deeply hierarchical and institutionally stable. Their formative years were shaped by the Cold War, Vietnam, the civil rights era and a society where information moved slowly.

Generation Jones came later. We inherited the aftermath of all of that.

We were the kids who watched Watergate destroy blind trust in government. We watched manufacturing begin to collapse. We saw divorce rates explode. We were the first truly latchkey generation in massive numbers. We learned independence early because many of us had to.

We grew up with one foot in old America and one foot in whatever this new thing was becoming.

We played outside until the streetlights came on but we also learned DOS commands. We learned cursive and keyboarding. We had card catalogs and Google searches. We went from vinyl records to cassette tapes to CDs to MP3s to streaming in one lifetime.

We remember maps. We remember memorizing phone numbers. We remember life before GPS and before every human interaction became filtered through a screen.

And because of that, I think Generation Jones developed a very unique perspective. We are adaptable because we had no choice but to adapt. We learned technology as adults instead of being born into it. We remember a slower world but were forced to survive in a rapidly accelerating one.

That creates a very different mindset than either older Boomers or younger Gen X and Millennials.

A lot of us also reject the caricature people now associate with “Boomers.” We were not buying houses for the cost of a sandwich in 1965. The interest rate on my first house was over 14% and that was after buying down a point. Many of us got hit by recessions, outsourcing, pension collapses and economic instability just like younger generations did. We watched promises evaporate in real time.

We understand older generations because we were raised by them. We understand younger generations because we had to evolve alongside them.

That’s why the Jones generation often feels culturally homeless. We are rarely discussed, rarely defined and usually lumped into categories that don’t actually fit us.

But we exist.

We are the human transition point between the industrial age and the digital age.

And frankly, there will probably never be another generation quite like us again.
