Alone in the Wilderness

Treaser for an awesome Documentary - Alone in the Wilderness

A certain part of me really wants to run away to a wild place and live in nature. I don't really want to do it but there is a side of me that longs for it.

Into the wild

A VERY good book about someone running away to the wildness and not really knowing what they were doing. A big budget film is coming out soon about this story.

Not Bad not Bad at all...

I like this guitar and it's fairly cheap as far as guitars go.

A little Braggin'....

I gotta brag on the new pup, Shelby. She turns 12 weeks today and is doing absolutely awesome. She has several times sight chased bunnies and scent trailed right to the bunny several more times. Just this weekend she opened up ( mini bays that will develop into full fledged bays ) on both the scent trail and in a sight chase for the first time. At 11 weeks old that is really fast. She is doing well with all her other training and I even think Sophie is starting to come around.

However, she is wearing me out. SO MUCH energy followed by a total and complete crash. She'll go like crazy and then sleep like the dead. She's a chewing machine. and requires constant supervision if she is not sleeping, in her kennel, or tied up outside. Even then I feel like I'm always keeping one eye on her.

It's all worth it though. Watching her grow and develop as a hunting dog and as a house pet has been really cool. Seems like she learns something new everyday. I can't wait until fall and until she's ready for hunting season.

And now Debuting Shelby....

Today Katie and I became proud puppy parents for the second time. Below are alot of, too many really, pictures of our newest family member. My little future hunting buddy, the beagle known as Shelby:








The proud Momma and pup. :)

At the Canton Blues festival

This is for Gwen you loves all things miniature.

Picture of Robert Cray who performed at the blues fest and was amazing. Incredible guitar player and singer. I would highly recommend that anyone go see him if they get the chance.

Here is a video that Katie recorded of him.



Here is my flickr account with a bunch of pictures that we (mostly Katie but I did take some) have taken. More will be added tomorrow.

What the world eats.

It's cool but I'm not sure it means a whole lot. I will say that alot of the other countries food looked alot better that the USA's.

Cool as hell biology sites

Tolweb Tree of Life

Integrated Taxonomic Information System

They are all cool species indexes. One day I will be a biologist. It's something like this that I really want to do with my life. Use what I have learned in Information Technology and combine it with biology. Hopefully Marine biology, helping to conserve and rebuild either Atlantic Salmon or Striped Bass stocks. Something I always wanted to do but never felt I had the chance nor the support from the important people (my parents) in my life but I do now. Thank you Katie, it means the world to me that you want me to do something that I dreamed about and will make me happy.
