Pardon me, just a few links of interest:
1. I've been staring at this
Peregrine Falcon nest on top of the PG&E building in San Francisco all day. There are tiny little white, fuzzy, falcon chicks that are visible when the mother bird leaves, which only happens about once every hour. Don't touch that dial.
2. Some good articles on peak oil and the ensuing collapse of our entire civilization can be found
here, here, and
here. 3. Finally, happy 91st birthday to
my grandfather.
