Tropical Orb Weaver Spider September 27, 2021
So I recently had a meet and greet with this interesting visitor. Startling experience to be sure, but intriguing, too. I mean, just look at this spider! Incredible. It’s quite large, about the size of my thumb, and a bit intimidating. As I’ve never met a spider this large (I’m happy to say) and wasn’t […]

Nostalgia gets overwhelmingly nutty in Chip ’N Dale: Rescue Rangers May 17, 2022

But the facelift that director Akiva Schaffer and screenwriters Dan Gregor and Doug Mand perform in […]

Will Smith, Chris Rock, and "Violence Is Never The Answer" March 29, 2022
Not taking a position on last night’s Smith/Rock incident. But for anyone piously intoning some version of “Violence never solves anything, violence is never the answer, violence has no place in XYZ, etc,” have you considered what discourse would be like with zero possibility of offense to words leading to violence?Actually, you don’t have to […]

Where's the Outrage? March 9, 2022
Someone asked me in another thread why I’m not outraged about Ukraine.Of course the question assumes that if a person isn’t obviously displaying an emotion, it follows that he isn’t experiencing it.

I’m saying my goodbyes to Toronto. I’ve seen my last Hot Docs Festival film, and I’m just back from my last author program.

Toronto -- Round Two April 12, 2022
Here I am now – culturally-infused, foot-sore, and exploration-happy – in my latest Urban Infusion Month. Hooray! I’m back in Toronto – three years to the day – but this time for two months. So far, I’ve done Manhattan, London, Toronto, and the Covid-aborted Philadelphia; but Toronto was my favorite of them all. I’ve been thinking […]

Comment on Spring Birds and Flowers by matt goff May 12, 2022
Thanks for the question Michi - trailing currant does grow wild in Sitka. I notice it most commonly along the edges near beaches, but have seen it at other locations also. The berries are blue, but have a whitish bloom on them (link goes to a picture I took of them a few years ago)

Good Day, I was curiosed at the Foto of the Trailing Currant (Ribes laxiflorum). It looked to me familiar and when I looked it up in german it confirmed my guess. Do they grow wild in Sidka? What color berries do they have? Thank you for sharing, Michi, Switzerland
