Dog Helps Orca

Photo copyright Fred Felleman It's been a bad year for the southern resident population of orcas in Puget Sound. Seven have gone missing and are presumed dead. Including the nearly 100-year-old matriarch of K Pod, along with two reproductive-age females vital to the future of the whales. One female, L-67 showed clear signs of emaciation before she disappeared in September. That leaves only 83 animals in this culturally-unique population of orca. It's been a bad year for salmon too—the prim

Games on Film: Titans Notes

I’m putting this back to the top of the page, as I think many of you didn’t see it this morning … I watched the past few weeks of Titans games and noticed a few things that were worth pointing out about this team from watching the tape. Titans Special Teams Carr’s Drive Starter — Chris Carr has a great average on kick returns so far this season, but I only saw a few plays where he made a great long play. From what I saw, there’s some hesitance when he gets the ball and approaches his block

AIDS Wolf – Cities of Glass

Skin Graft Records When I put Cities of Glass into my CD player, I thought to myself, “here it goes—another noise band to put me to sleep,” and at first, I thought this was true. Nothing new here, just more noise and screaming. It was time to bust out the comfort blankie and take up a napping position on the futon. But then I kept listening…and listening…and listening. I was drawn in like a bee to a flower or a fly to scat. There’s something to this, something more than so many of the other no

An Evening on the Upper Sacramento: Fly Fishing Big Dries for Big Trout

Last night Wally the Wonderdog and I found ourselves creeping along the river’s edge, fly rod in hand (my hand - the Wonderdog doesn’t have hands, but manages to get into trouble anyway). While the weather was unseasonably warm, the river had a Fall’s-over feel; most of the leaves were down or headed that way, and summer’s lush habitat is a memory. Wally the Wonderdog is always happy to go fishing. Despite the blanket October Caddis hatches of a month ago, the year’s best October Caddis dry

Blogworthiness

Thanks to everyone who commented yesterday, that was a fun little deep-thoughtish discussion.  I appreciate all of your internet-comment personalities, and I wonder if they’re distinct from your other personalities. For some reason, yesterday I was thinking about blog topics for today all day long.  It was one of those days when my first reaction to any event was, “can I blog about that?”  Eventually, I rejected each topic on its own merits. Cases in point: I filled out the application to a

How To Train An Army of Animals To Do Your Bidding

Let me lay down the facts: you almost certainly lack the social graces and knowledge of current hairstyle trends to win the loyalty of an army of human supporters. Therefore, I’ve compiled a list of proven techniques you can use to assembl

Whale Shark Poops on Camera; Scientists Rejoice

Whale Shark Poops on Camera; Scientists Rejoice You might think these scientists were potty training this whale shark based on their level of excitement when the giant fish (the world’s largest) finally had a bowel movement. The scientists, like some proud parents, even captured the moment on film. Researcher Mark Meekan described the rare poop, which he collected and stored in tiny vials, as “scientific gold” for the clues it would contain about the shark’s diet. The researchers are studyi

Other things in the woods

Recreativo Huelva 0, Barcelona 2, a.k.a. “Breaching the great wall.”

“Okay. You hook over the middle. You, run down to the red car while he blocks for you. I’ll fake the kick then pass. Ready….break!” Wow. Don’t know about you all, but I haven’t worried more about a match in a very long time. There was so much at stake, and on a weekend in which the top four were falling like tenpins, our lads faced a Recreativo side who defended with energy and effort, putting all their men, their mamas, stadium vendors and ball boys in front of goal. And it worked, until a
