Are Wolves Totally Awesome? Or Just Super Cool? By Ben Golliver Picture this. You are on a camping trip with your family, far off the beaten path, enjoying the pristine and unfettered wilderness. Your morning begins, a strong cup of joe, painstakingly filtered through a vintage charcoal osmosis chamber, in your hand, as you soak in the glorious first rays of the sun, its radiation pure, and not especially carcinogenic at this point. The leaves are softly rustling in the gentle breeze, as your nose starts to pick out each and every wonderful scent that is wafting through the glorious air. Is that elderberry flower? Yum. Mornings like these are why you gave up the ol' rat race, and moved your family into the forest. Sure, you miss getting real time score updates of Blazer games, and you dont even remember what toothpaste tastes like, but there are simple pleasures the wild affords you that can not be purchased with an Iphone equipped with bitcoin enabled pre-pay-as-you-go. This life is what we were meant to experience, what we were meant to crave. Not electronic soda can openers. We were meant to interact with nature in this most basic form. "Get Some Fresh Air Into Your Portfolio" was the name of the Forbes article. Very insightful, if you haven't read it. As you settle back into your sustainably sourced hand woven pine bough hammock enclosure, you start to contemplate the very meaning of your existence. Do trees get hot? Is wetness the essence of water? Why cant i feel my toes? And that is when you realize, a wolf has eaten your legs completely off of you. Slowly you succumb to the ravenous pack of wild beasts, and you realize that life has exactly zero meaning. As they tear at your guts, intertwining them with your ribs, you realize that we are all cruelly and impossibly forced to suffer through this torturous actuality before returning to the cold embrace of the infinite void. As they gnash their blood soaked teeth into the soft flesh of your butt hole, you realize that the only way to combat this sadistic experiment called life is to fully embrace the nothingness that you are, and let go of the childish dream that anything you do will ever matter. And as they violently clamp their powerful vise like jaws into your throat, you realize that, much sooner than you can imagine, the last person who will ever remember a flicker of your existence will die, if they dont forget you before that, and you will be everlastingly consigned to oblivion and blessedly able to return to the vast emptiness of forever.

https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/former-us-senate-employee-indicted-false-statements-charges Department of Justice U.S. Attorney’s Office District of Columbia FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Thursday, June 7, 2018 Former U.S. Senate Employee Indicted on False Statements Charges Longtime Director of Security for the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Accused of Lying to FBI About Repeated Contacts with Reporter WASHINGTON – A former staff employee of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) has been indicted and arrested on charges of making false statements to special agents of the FBI during the course of an investigation into the unlawful disclosure of classified information, announced Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jessie K. Liu, and Timothy M. Dunham, Special Agent in Charge of the Counterintelligence Division of the FBI’s Washington Field Office. James A. Wolfe, 58, of Ellicott City, Md., was indicted by a federal grand jury on three counts of violating Title 18, United States Code, Section 1001. At the time he made the alleged false statements to the FBI, Wolfe was Director of Security for the SSCI, a position he held for approximately 29 years. As SSCI Director of Security, Wolfe was entrusted with access to classified SECRET and TOP SECRET information provided by the Executive Branch, including the U.S. Intelligence Community, to the SSCI. In this position, Wolfe was responsible for safeguarding all classified information in the possession of the SSCI. Wolfe is alleged to have lied to FBI agents in December 2017 about his repeated contacts with three reporters, including through his use of encrypted messaging applications. Wolfe is further alleged to have made false statements to the FBI about providing two reporters with non-public information related to the matters occurring before the SSCI. “The Attorney General has stated that investigations and prosecutions of unauthorized disclosure of controlled information are a priority of the Department of Justice. The allegations in this indictment are doubly troubling as the false statements concern the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive and confidential information,” said Assistant Attorney General Demers. “Those entrusted with sensitive information must discharge their duties with honesty and integrity, and that includes telling the truth to law enforcement.” “Mr. Wolfe’s alleged conduct is a betrayal of the extraordinary public trust that had been placed in him,” said U.S. Attorney Liu. “It is hoped that these charges will be a warning to those who might lie to law enforcement to the detriment of the United States.” “All individuals in positions of trust must be held to the highest of standards, as the American public deserves no less,” said Special Agent in Charge Dunham. “As alleged in this indictment, Mr. Wolfe failed to meet those standards in his repeated lies to federal agents concerning the unauthorized disclosure of information. His arrest demonstrates that this conduct will not be tolerated, and those that engage in it will be held accountable.” Wolfe was arrested on June 7, 2018, and is expected to make his first appearance Friday, June 8, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland. The case is entitled United States v. James A. Wolfe, and the matter has been assigned to the Honorable Ketanji Brown Jackson in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The charges in the indictment are merely allegations, and every defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The maximum penalty for each count of making a false statement to federal law enforcement agents is five years in prison. The maximum statutory sentences are prescribed by Congress and are provided here for informational purposes. The sentencing of the defendant, if he is later convicted, will be determined by the court after considering the advisory Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors. The investigation into this matter is being conducted by the FBI’s Washington Field Office. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys for the District of Columbia, with assistance from the Counterintelligence and Export Control Section, National Security Division of the U.S. Department of Justice.

Not a wolf story but today my neighbor came by and showed me pictures of 3 black bear that have moved up the mountain from their normal breeding grounds...and the cougar that ate my neighbors cat last month...bear droppings in my orchard and tracked them down my property line to the creek..going to buy a night camera and mount it on my back deck....heard them around midnight last night probably eating cuttings I pruned from my fruit trees.
That was just sly as he heard you guys had pizza that night and was scrounging for scraps like a good dog.
