I really appreciate your scientific posts, and hope your knee does well, but otherwise, a pox on your house!
Seems they're in stock at a grocery near me. And I've been avoiding bread.

Must not be any Waffle Houses (or any other restaurants) in Almost North Dakota, not quite Canada.

Dining options are definitely slim here. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Waffle House. Is that where people with two good legs get pancakes?

The only good thing about having been born in the south is knowing about Waffle House. None here either. It is an establishment of the finest repute where you can eat hash browns and pancakes while watching meth addicts fight the kitchen staff.

Ever asked for them?
I feel like this is wrong, but I remember too few of my numerous 3am “endless waffles and coffee” runs in college.
You ever watch an Ozark sunrise from a Waffle House a fifth of tequila deep after a winter storm blows through? The sky is on fire and the world covered in glittering ice- spectacular. Which is a far cry from our sorry group as we stumbled out past the church crowd and truckers.
So yeah, that should give the uninitiated an idea of what Waffle House is like.

I'm sure he was screaming and shaking his fist at the Television, and the clouds.

American Prairie: Creating a huge new nature reserve in Montana
In one of the most remote parts of the country, a nonprofit organization is working to create the largest nature reserve in the contiguous United States with hopes of restoring several species of wildlife.

Things are starting to get weird:
Is there payment for these negative easements or is it more just a pinky-promise kind of thing? If there is a payment who is funding it?

'Don't think "starting" is the correct term for the nonsense coming from UPOM for years.

"Help protect your land for future generations" haha!
Reminds me of this except I can actually understand a financial driver for the easements UPOM was calling "predatory".

My thoughts exactly. I thought UPOM was beating the "perpetuity baaaad" drum.

Serious question here: Can a person draft any sort of easement they feel like or are there guidelines/process to creating them that would prevent a landowner from creating something.
So is the idea that they are promoting above is to have ranchers create an easement that says the land can never have bison on it?

The landowner gets to craft all provisions. If they refuse to place perpetuity in the language or they allow surface mining, it will restrict their income tax deductibility. But, it will still reduce the value for estate tax purposes.
I have seen some of the most creative landowner ideas you can imagine. Like all demographics, there are landowners who don't buy into the fear mongering and they see conservation easements as a great tool for certain objectives they have. They use all tools available to them and they succeed in their ranching/farming business. They are smart folks and they know how to find success in all they do.
Then there are the predatory fear mongers like UPOM who have nothing to sell other than fear and conspiracy. In the process they hope nobody undresses them and show what anti-property rights positions they are willing to promote to continue their path of fear-based misinformation.
Ranching/farming is hard, it's challenging, and the deck is stacked against the small guy. UPOM does no favors by trying to take away conservation easements as one of the useful tools working landowners have. And to reaffirm the answer to your question - the landowner, the holder of the property rights, drives the ship on conservation easement language and provisions, not the government, not the public, and not the non-profit that might hold the rights donated/sold as part of the easement.
