Bridger

Bridger is a Golden Doodle.  This is the first time I've seen him at the park, and I hope it's not the last...

These photos are also Sunday shots at Beaver Lake...

Asteroid Animation

An interesting animation detailing the trajectory of 2010-AL30, a very small asteroid recently discovered that will come pretty close to the Earth sometime Wednesday...  The quote from one of the scientists:  “I don’t worry about those that we keep up with…. I am more concerned about the ones we never see coming.”

A Few Changes to the ol' Home Page

Please take a look to the upper right of the blogspot gadget bar (where the time, "who the hell am i", etc, is located), and let me know if you see anything wrong about the Flickr Slideshow I set up earlier today. It looks fine to me, but I've also noticed that the logo in FireFox looks a LOT different from the logo in IE 8, so... :)

If things are odd, please let me know WHAT is odd, what browser and OS you are using, etc... Thanks!

How Cool is This?

2010.01 Desktop Calendar Wallpaper

A few days ago, I wandered into Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge for about an hour.  Among the more interesting findings:  a Northern Harrier lunching on an unfortunate rodent.  While s/he was deep in the brush, there was still a small window along the road from which to (morbidly?) watch...

S/he fed for about 5 minutes, ripping little bits and larger chunks, while watching the surrounding countryside and airspace for competitors...  It was a sight that was repeated several times during that hour...
