Went on a great birding walk last week with Friends of the Desert Mountains. Saw 34 species, including one that was new to us (Black-Tailed Gnatcatcher).

They offer yoga classes, full moon hikes, birding walks, night sky watches, garden walks, and more!

Condé Nast Traveler rounded up 25 adult spring break destinations for 2025. And, no surprise, an Oregon town made the cut, another example of how Oregon hotels, campsites, beaches, food and more tend to show up on these kinds of best-of lists.

The Tulsa Race Massacre was not committed by an uncontrolled mob but was the result of “a coordinated, military-style attack” by white citizens, the Justice Department said in a report. It was the first time the U.S. government has given an official account of the 1921 massacre of Black residents.

Godspeed to one of America's finest.

Somewhere, Rosalyn is welcoming him with open arms.

It was an honor and a pleasure to have met them both.

May we all strive to treat our fellow humans with the respect and decency that they did.

Good info here about getting some sleep on an airplane.

We also like the Timeshifter app, which helps you start to reset your body clock will before you board.
