Human foot found floating in Yellowstone
National Park hot spring

Original Article

A Yellowstone National Park employee found what appears to be a partial human foot in a hot spring this week, park officials said. The foot was still inside a shoe floating in the Abyss Pool, which is near the West Thumb Geyser Basin, Morgan Warthin, a public affairs officer for Yellowstone National Park, said in a statement. An investigation has been underway since the foot was found Tuesday. No additional details were available Thursday afternoon. The Abyss Pool, in the southern area of the national park in Wyoming, is a 53-foot-deep hot spring, one of the deepest at Yellowstone.

If someone fell in they would essentially boil to death.

Feet in running shoes are fairly commonly found washed up on northwest coast beaches. Apparently when someone drowns and the body decays to the point of poor "structural integrity", the flotation of the foam in these shoes takes the foot with it. I suspect that the loss of structural integrity is quicker in a boiling hot spring. I have hiked Yellowstone nearly every year since the early 70s, and been very close to back country hot features. You must be careful and some folks are just pure knuckleheads. Seems like a knucklehead got caught out, permanently. Someone will turn up missing eventually. I wonder if the DNA is so denatured as to unmatchable?

Hmmm. Is "Foot found in shoe" in any possible way ambiguous? Are there any other species that wear shoes?

The "Abyss Pool". Ain't nobody going to find the pieces of cell phone and jewelry that might be all that's left at the bottom, if there is a bottom. The foot and shoe would have eventually dissolved if it had not been found.

Re #5, the bones survive. I have seen animal bones in some of the Yellowstone hot springs.....or at least I assume they were animal bones. Definitely gives one pause to see that.

Not likely involving animals, IMO. Someone got too close and there is a thin crust on the edge of these hot springs where the high dissolved mineral content starts to crystalize out at the cooler edges and can leave a fragile "rock" shelf over boiling water. Step too close, the layer of "ground" gives way, and you fall in. In a second or two you are burned beyond recovery, in a few more dead.

At 140 F, the DNA will still be viable, but it will cause burns in 3 seconds and death within minutes. Bear attack wouldn't happen in that water, or be carried and deposited there. If this were a suicide it was an extraordinarily unfortunate choice. Very few people in sneakers would venture there alone... a serious lone hiker would have been wearing boots. Maybe they got pushed into "the big natural hot tub" by an idiot? Boys have been known to do dumb things. 104F hot tub vs 140F hot spring is life vs death. Falling in would mean scurring out.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom told ABC News that his state's historic vote Thursday to ban the sale of new gas engine vehicles by 2035 is a game changer in the country's goals to curb its dependency on fossil fuels. The California Air Resources Board approved the new regulations Thursday afternoon following a long public comment process. California became the first state in the nation to issue such a direct phase-out of gas-powered vehicles, and Newsom told ABC News he is confident other states around the country will follow suit.

Whispers are growing that the Democratic Party’s future lies in Georgia, with Sen. Raphael Warnock, if he can hold off Republican challenger Herschel Walker this fall. Warnock is a uniquely talented and likable politician. Just ask Georgia Republicans. None dare say so on the record. But granted the cloak of anonymity, they are the first to compliment, or lament, Warnock’s attentive Senate staff, travel schedule that regularly takes him to all corners of the Peach State, and knack for avoiding the “radical leftist” label despite his dependably liberal voting record in Congress.

California is set to move closer to banning the sale of new cars running only on gasoline by 2035, a major step in the car-loving state’s fight against climate change. The expected embrace of the policy by the state’s Air Resources Board during a meeting scheduled for Thursday comes after Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) set a target in 2020 for cleaning up California’s auto fleet. The proposed regulation would set strict deadlines for meeting that goal, forcing automakers to step up production of cleaner vehicles considerably, starting in 2026. The requirements would only speed forward from there, until only zero-emission

Five more buses arrived in New York City from Texas on Wednesday, the most buses in one day to reach the Big Apple. The new buses are only the latest to make the trip — Texas Gov.

(Snip) Abbott called out Adams' "hypocrisy" in a Wednesday New York Post op-ed, saying the mayor "likes to pat himself on the back for welcoming migrants with open arms to his sanctuary city.

DENVER — The use of marijuana by young adults in this country is now at an all-time high. A new survey also says the same group is using hallucinogens like never before. The study was conducted by the National Institutes of Health. It surveyed young adults between the ages of 19 and 30. Overall, 43% of those surveyed said they used pot over the past year. That’s up from 34% in 2016 and up from 29% ten years ago. In 2021, 8% of the people surveyed said they used hallucinogens over the past year. That’s up from 5% in 2016

Two Orthodox Jewish men were sprayed with a fire extinguisher and one was also punched in what the police department is investigating as a hate crime pattern. The first attack happened shortly after 6 a.m. Sunday on Lee Ave. and Taylor St. just south of the Williamsburg Bridge approach. One man can be seen on surveillance video creeping across the street toward his 74-year-old victim with a fire extinguisher in his hand. The suspect, who was wearing a white T-shirt and black pants, sprayed the man, spreading a cloud of white powder onto the sidewalk and street, the video shows.

The names printed on the buses — “VLP Charter,” “Coastal Crew Change” — gave no hint of their mission. Only Texas license plates gave them away. One by one, their riders stepped out into an unfamiliar city, some tired but smiling, others just tired: men wearing backpacks, women clutching babies and blankets, children hanging onto teddy bears. One man wore no shoes, just socks. The city’s immigrant affairs commissioner, Manuel Castro, shook everyone’s hand. A man in a

Gov. Kathy Hochul, who hasn’t proven shy about issuing orders, had one for the state’s Republicans this week — all 5.4 million of them: “Just jump on a bus and head down to Florida where you belong, OK?” she said. “You are not New Yorkers.” If you can move beyond the frankly disgusting political partisanship and intolerance, her message is fiscally irresponsible, even dangerous. The governor probably already knows this, but the state’s extensive public sector is heavily reliant on personal income taxes paid by residents, and with nearly $14 billion in projected budget gaps over the next five years, it can’t afford to lose any taxpayers,

An op-ed in the Washington Post has argued that men in women’s sports could actually be a good thing for young girls by teaching them the art of losing gracefully. According to Alyssa Rosenberg, the aim of school athletics is not to teach children the art of achieving excellence but rather to build character, and what better way to build character in a teenage girl than having her experience the frustration of losing that championship title to a biological male? Her argument largely hinges on the unicorn of “sports-crazed parents” who will theoretically use transgender athletes in women’s sports as an excuse in the event their daughter loses.

It seems like just yesterday that politicians would try to sway voters to come to their point of view and cast a vote for them. Things have changed. In the past week, Charlie Crist told conservative voters he wants nothing to do with them because they're evil; Kathy Hochul told Republicans to leave her state; and, in the culmination of this abuse, Joe Biden effectively affixed the label "fascist" to Trump's 74,216,154 voters (all of whom are actual human beings). Is it any coincidence that, in the same week, activists twice swatted Marjorie Taylor Greene?

In November 2021, as Breitbart News reported, the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) filed suit against Benson accusing her of keeping nearly 26,000 dead registrants on Michigan voter rolls and thus violating the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA). Benson, in response, sought to have the lawsuit thrown out. On Thursday, the district court denied Benson’s effort to dismiss the case.
