Accident in the mountains


Continuing the case on the Woolly Mammoth Crisis...

For one thing, you should stay as far away from these creatures as you can, especially the high elevation ones. For another thing, if you've ever tried to ride one you know how hard it is to stay on...the wooliness of it and the wide back make it a very slippery and precarious ride indeed (not to mention, you never know what a wild Woolly Mammoth would do if it finds it has a human on its back!). It's a very dangerous endeavor to ride a Woolly Mammoth, trust me. But hey, the experience is priceless. Only, we can do without the falling part.


I was attempting a maneuver that wasn't the smartest and slipped and fell like you see in this picture. I finally skidded to a stop somewhere off the picture.

Alex dies.

This bird was used to do a lot of research on the intelligence of the species. He demonstrated the potential a bird can have intellectually in regard to comprehension if worked with and trained. People get weird about the intelligence of animals...I just think it's cool to have a pet you can have a conversion with!

Alex was a Congo African Grey, probably my favorite breed of parrot. Anyway, Alex recently died. :(

New Picture

So I want to refresh the look of my blog soon, but for now we have a new picture. That's me a couple weeks ago on a camping trip.

Lunar Eclipse (08-28-07)

Let's get at least one August post in here...

These pics I took last night and with my new Nikon D40 through Jesse's binoculars (which I kind of had to beg him to use). So, thanks to Jesse's kindness and my persistence I managed to get these shots...better than I thought I'd get through the simple small pair of binochs. The pictures are somewhat edited in Picasa. I mainly just clarified them a bit and did some cropping. That's not a crime, is it? Thanks for having a look!

There the eclipse is happening.

This is called "moon writing". It's an art that is harder than it may seem.
