The Greenbelt: Do these guys make you feel safe?
http://thegreenbelt.blogspot.com/2015/07/do-these-guys-make-you-feel-safe.html
Language Liberalism Freethought Birds. Verbing Weirds Language only if you're expecting it to work in a simple way. This is a special case of the more general truth that Language Weirds. Only when a republic's life is in danger should a man uphold his government when it is in the wrong. There is no other time. The church says Earth is flat; but I have seen its shadow on the moon, and I have more confidence in a shadow than the church. If we can't find Heaven, there are always bluejays. Had this to say.

http://newdharmabums.blogspot.com/2015/08/its-rogers-birthday.html
Monday, August 03, 2015. Both cards capture the humor and pleasure of growing old and laughing all the way. That's the way Roger does it, with great joy and huge laughter. Did he really just ask us if we are the Dharma Bums, or were we imagining such a crazy question? We said, "Did you just ask us if we're The Dharma Bums? It has been crazy foggy and smoky here. The skies are weirder than ever. The above photo is the sky about an hour before sunset. And the photo below is our car sprinkled wi...August 03...

Friday, July 10, 2015. Foray to Frazier's Bog. Morton Arboretum's Joe Rothleutner's preparing an herbarium specimen. On Wednesday, July 8, I had the good fortune to escort two horticultural professionals to an amazing wetland located 0.3-mile from my office- a forested swamp known as Frazier's Bog. Fortunately, the country club recognizes the wetland's value. Frazier's Bog (and and only two other sites in Pennsylvania) support sweetbay magnolia trees ( Magnolia virginiana.

The New Dharma Bums: While We're Waiting, We Walk and Walk
http://newdharmabums.blogspot.com/2015/07/while-were-waiting-we-walk-and-walk.html
Sunday, July 19, 2015. While We're Waiting, We Walk and Walk. Escrow is proceeding. Forty-five days is a long time, but we are incredibly patient. Our agent (who happens to be my seriously efficient sister) says we are very mellow clients. Yes we are. Want to know why? Many of the shorebirds are back, and it's really great to see them, especially this Marbled Godwit. The dabblers haven't returned yet, but soon the ponds will be filled with Green-winged Teals, Cinnamon Teals and Wigeons. Lots and ...Oh, i...

The New Dharma Bums: Many Moons
http://newdharmabums.blogspot.com/2015/07/many-moons.html
Thursday, July 23, 2015. Roger looked at the window and said, "I can see the moon tonight." It was a beautiful clear night. We had turned out the lights in our bedroom, and the window above our bed was open for the cool night air. The window has double panes, with sliders that meet in the middle. When I looked through the four panes out my side of the window, I saw this:. Posted by robin andrea. July 23, 2015 10:55 AM. Dave @ Around Alaska. July 23, 2015 10:58 AM. I need to get a roof window.

It Just Comes Naturally: Dog Vomit Slime
http://itonlycomesnaturally.blogspot.com/2015/07/dog-vomit-slime.html
Thursday, July 9, 2015. Now that I've got your attention. On the wood-chipped path outside my office. Of late, I'm obsessed with slime mold, and one species in particular:. Last year, a neighbor cut down several large tuliptrees that had grown too near his house. His arborist chipped the wood, and our organization took the wood chips for our trails. This spring, the wood chipped trail has come alive repeatedly with slime mold aggregations. At first, this slime mold is a strikingly bright, brilliant yellow.
