There exists a certain subset of drivers on road that makes me cuss at their entire lineage. In no particular order: Speed demons and turtles. You know them. Those who speed unnecessarily and those who drive slow. Both relative to how we drive. And before you ask, the other idiot on the road is the problem! Indicators for thee but not for me. We have to observe, run calculus, throw the dice and divine the intention of this driver. Are they turning left on the Stop sign? Are they going straight?…

I did manage to capture my 100th bird in Merlin app! The Park Ranger said Big Bend is...
February was a month of unbridled media consumption and I did not finish any books. I have been making slow progress towards reading “A Psalm for the Wild Built”. It’s a short read, but I have been sick most of the time and being a couch potato and catching up on television was more appealing.

Somehow wrote 5 po...
