Took the day off to get some things done around the house and wanted to take a quick ride to pick up the Sunday paper. As I turned onto the road toward the store I noticed a doe standing by the side of the road. As I always do I slowed to a [...]

I came upon the this article discussing how algae can be used to clean Carbon Dioxide from industrial smokestacks and maybe even make a profit. We should all get involved in getting this information out.₂
Animal Welfare League
Posted in Uncategorized on November 10, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I am trying to help the Animal Welfare League win a makeover. In order to do this I joined Zootoo to help raise awareness. The Animal Welfare League located in Chicago Ridge, IL receives no money from any governmental body, which means they survive on personal donations only. Their annual budget is over $1,000,000.00 and [...]

It has started, at least in my part of the world. Those magnificent cranes have started to fly overhead on their annual migration south. Although I did not see them I sure did hear them. Sounded like a small flock maybe a vanguard either way I will listen and look for the next several days [...]

I’ve heard a lot of discussion about using “clean coal” as one of the alternative sources of energy. So along with wind, geo-thermal, solar and nuclear I wondered if the term was a fact or an oxymoron. Here is something I found about clean coal that might shed some light on the issue. You decide.
Mushroom crop arising.

It is that time of the year again when my three “clumps”of Maitake mushrooms are begining to form. Last season the largest one was about the size of two footballs. Hopefully this years crop will be equally as large if not larger.
What a relief!

As you may have read in a previous post I was extremely concerned that I had not seen our resident Red-tailed Hawks this entire year so I was relieved to see a mating pair and their one offspring soaring high above my humble abode. There has been a lot of farm loss and new home [...]
New Addition
Posted in Uncategorized on June 25, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I haven’t posted much lately, been busy with camp – another season. Unfortunately it seems that Shady Oaks Camp will most likely cease operations after this term is complete, not enough people interested in keeping the place open as we are having problems getting donations to keep it open. It is a shame [...]
