DETROIT — On the side of the tunnel nobody could see, two exiles who were last seen making a scene before exiting through said tunnel in states of indignant calm now stood waiting together. Their earlier expressions were replaced with giddy smiles, like they had plotted it this way from the beginning.They hadn’t, though.Michael Malone and Nikola Jokic greeted the Nuggets with high-fives and hugs as players and coaches walked off the court late Monday night at Little Caesars Arena, following a 107-103 Nuggets win over the upstart Pistons.The head coach and star player were reduced to hype men, so they embraced it.

Opinion: Our luxuries — like flushing toilets — are fragile, as the wilderness reminds us

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:06:36 GMT

Guides in the outdoor industry inevitably come up with collective nicknames for customers. On horseback they’re “dudes,” on the river they’re “mers” — short for customers — and they’re “sticks” if you’re trying to trick a trout. Sometimes the terms trend a little negative — “flatlander” comes to mind, and there’s another name I’ve come to use but need to explain it.It comes out of what I do: For the last decade, I’ve guided multi-day whitewater fly-fishing trips through western Colorado’s Gunnison Gorge during the summer. Then I spend the fall guiding horseback hunting outfits in the wilderness. It adds up to around 100 nights a year sleeping rough.I’ve met a lot of people from all over the country, and, sad to say, too many seem oblivious to how scarce clean water is in the outback and also how much work it takes to make water safe for drinking. That’s why I sometimes call them “water poopers.”Spill a big batch of filtered water, treat a horse like a car rather than a living ...
