    Posted on Thursday October 1st, 2009 at 20:54 in fire, chaparral

    Okay, I've been bad and have not added anything to this site in a long while. Bad me. I did not burn up, nor did my computer, although other places in my state have burned, and burned hotly. Husband has gone off on a fire or two, just little things ...

  • In pursuit of remote giant sequoia groves

    Posted on Wednesday August 12th, 2009 at 08:25

    How do bears catch fish anyway? What is their technique. Think of how fast a fish moves, or "the big one that got away". Yet bears, huge and ponderous as they are, catch many fish. Are the fish they catch healthy and fast, or slow and worn out? Griz...
