Yes, depending on how you define evolve. Humans share some dinosaur
activities:

Well, I assume that "evolve" is a verb derived from the word
"evolution" which seems to described as:
evolution ~ noun - a process in which something passes by degrees to a
different stage (especially a more advanced or mature stage)

That's a good definition. If dinosaur evolution had not been
interrupted by a falling asteroid, the next evolutionary step would
have been for dinosaurs to be riding eBikes.

Hmm... looks like the archeologists unearthed some prehistoric eBikes
and couldn't figure out what to do with them:

Probably easier to sell them to visitors than to explain where they
came from.

Well, that makes it pretty clear why three Oregon Counties have voted to secede from Oregon in favor of Idaho. I wouldn't be in the least surprised if everything east of the Washington Cascades seceded from western Washington..

None of these cow-counties produce enough tax revenues to cover their expenses. They're being carried by the hard-working, over-taxed folks in Portland. I say let them go to Idaho. Actual savings to me would be $500 year according to studies.

If cows voted, I'd be concerned. In the five succeeding counties, cows outnumber people more than 10 to 1 -- and all of those counties still comprise only a fraction of the Second District. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon...ional_district

Medford and Ashland certainly aren't succeeding, unless Idaho needs a Shakespeare theater. https://www.oregonlive.com/entertain...lion-gift.html Oprah has a vacation home in Ashland. It would be like Los Altos Hills succeeding from California.

BTW, the Second District congressman is someone I know: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cliff_Bentz I've done a lot of work with his firm, but more with his partner Carl Burnham. Before he retired, Carl was like the Lincoln lawyer -- he practiced law from the back seat of a car as he was driven all over Oregon and Idaho. Lots of time to work on files driving through the middle of nowhere. https://www.twodustytravelers.com/ea...gon-road-trip/ Great lawyer. The firm is in Ontario, which is basically a suburb of Nampa or Boise, ID.

I'm guessing, based on my own military career, that if 1 in 1000
Americans knew who Ft. Brag was named after it would be a miracle :-)

Example, I was stationed at Beal AFB, Randolf AFB and Beale AFB, among
others. Can anyone tell me (without looking it up) who those bases
were named after.

On the other hand it did provide a chance for Sen. Dale Kooyenga to
get his name in the newspaper, which one might suppose may have been
the overwhelming rationale for the statement :-)
