I think we're going to switch gears and rent our cabin out for the winter. What do you look for in a winter vacation? We can't short-term rent, so this is only for someone who will rent out for a full month

I do love the fun nuggets from this account. Just what I needed to read today!

[The sunny side of Franz Kafka @AmschelKavka]

Don’t work yourself to exhaustion!

Franz Kafka, 1912.

Books and more books! Just some of the things I read last year 😁

I think it would make a great place to work on reading and writing projects - It's been a great writing retreat for me 😁
Have a project to finish? Do it in the serene Idaho mountains 🏔️🏔️🏔️

We're selling our beautiful Island Park home so we can officially move to Utah for my wonderful job with the Utah Historical Society. If you (or someone you know!) is looking for a vacation home/second home/mountain retreat, send me a message! #retreat #flyfishing #love

@TiffanyKWayne That is a great example! And such a good point on the 1990s being an extension of the 80s!

[Brandi Burns @HistorianBBurns]

Can we talk about the historiography of women's history in the 1980s? I'm loving it! What are some of your favorite books and articles from the time? Bonus points for ones that focus on the American West.

Something to put a smile on your face today 😁

Certain types of sea urchins will pick up a shell with their tube feet and ‘wear’ it, with a behavior known as “covering reaction”, mainly because they shy away from light.

So aquarium enthusiasts 3D-printed tiny hats and they actually wear them.

@BrendenWRensink @UNMPress Cool! Congrats!

[James A. Garfield National Historic Site @GarfieldNPS]

Our Tweetmaster General has only two more work weeks here before he totally stabs us in the back & joins @USNatArchives to work at @IkeLibrary. Since he’s also about to celebrate 18th anniversary of his 33rd birthday, help us get to 33K followers before he turns traitor & leaves.

@HendrixKomoto Oh my word, same experience here. No one has offered medication, even when they couldn't get it out and started to recommend a procedure at the hospital to remove it. For the lack of a better description, I had to just "grin and bear it" until they grabbed it.n

I'm brushing up on my Utah history - did you know that Parowan, Utah was originally named Louisa? It was named after Louisa Beeman, who married Joseph Smith, becoming his first polygamous wife.

@janbarstad It is the perfect flyfishing location! The photo is of the Henry's Fork River, one of the best streams in the world because of its trout. And the scenery 😍
It's lovely and we are only a few miles downstream from Harriman State Park.

[Brandi Burns @HistorianBBurns]

@jbethawk Thanks! It's been a great few months ☺️

[Brandi Burns @HistorianBBurns]

@WhaHistory It did! But he still has those sad eyes... 🥺

[Brandi Burns @HistorianBBurns]

@WhaHistory This guy is excited for his cone to come off in another day or so!
