Tired turkey syndrome?  What's that, like tuckered out turkies running away from being dinner?  I think it's something similar to melatonin the stuff that makes u sleepy after eating turkey.

  And recreationlinks.org reminds to watch out for getting hypothermia!  A partnerships literature tells of colder water in mountain streams which can facilitate a rapid lowering of your body's "core" temp.

  And the U.S. Forest Service gives us a great update in this article.  Of special importance is the emphasis on partnerships.  It's through alliances that most of the funding and shared resourcing occurs.

  Sometimes the Department of the Interior puts subcategories of workers into, like, safe storage as it aligns as a workforce.

  There's a cool article in Light & Seed, Summer/Fall 2024 about "comprehensive ecological restoration of the wildfire-prone landscape".  It's actually a field report called "A Fire Knows No Bounds" by Lisa Jhung.  And in it she encounters the situation of private landowners with holdings near National Forest.  Programs and foundations can forge partnerships and profoundly shape regions.  It can be just the success story needed as people take a break from more heated coalition politics.  Usually the people involved learn each others' languages for the same issues and there's know-how to come up with solution.

  In a story by Elisabeth Kwak-Hefferan titled: "A Tale of Two Coal States: What happens to coal-dependent communities when the coal goes away? A lot depends on whether their state government is reality-based" (Sierra, Spring 2024), the author and photgrapher look at places (specifically in Colorado and Montana) that are in transitions.  The article does a good job of breaking apart complex issue and tying the basics of surviving seismic shift in broader industry to personal/group efforts.  In the U.S. we are also experiencing the growth of smaller nuclear power sources.

  Elisabeth brings up the point that, "Morale in the community plummeted." Thirty years ago we'd read similar news of people in layoffs and changes due to shifts in global economy.  So as we were training in our chosen field-directions we kept that understanding front and center.  It was part of being anti-complacent which was also core value in service work--private and national.  And it was our opportunity to shape the future's heritage as professionals and community members.

  The article also talks about how the same place can be different "place" to different people.  A place can be within broader place and still be its own place.
