    Couldn't name a favorite as they are all brilliant. You should put together a photography book.

      Thanks, Alex. I don't think my photos are commercial quality (with a very few exceptions), but I love sharing them. Fortunately, my family enjoys slide shows!

    Can't decide which is my favorite between the flamingoes or the giraffe? You have several others I admire, but those two are my favs. How about the bighorn sheep on the trailer?

      Took a minute to realize what you meant about the sheep. It's skateboarding, I'm pretty sure.

My apologies to them for the non-trivial liberties I took with history and their personalities. We are now also meant to provide a tag line for our stories, so here's mine: What terrors lurk in the root cellar?     The Scream The house we lived in that year wasn’t much. The wind blew in everywhere you could imagine a draft, and some places you couldn’t. The old enclosed porch we used as a root cellar was worse. It wasn’t just the win...

Non-fiction Audiobook Review: Falter, by Bill McKibben

Important stuff, but hard to hear. Title: Falter: Has the Human Game Begun to Play Itself Out? Author: Bill McKibben. Ready by Olivery Wyman Publication Info: Macmillan Audio 2019. 11 hours. Hardback by Henry Holt & Co., 291 pages. Source: Library Blurb: (Goodreads): Thirty years ago Bill McKibben offered one of the earliest warnings about climate change.
