The content of this blog has suffered lately. I am sorry. I have many excuses but it all boils down to being quite busy. You see I am writing this thing called a dissertation...its like a book...a non-fiction book...The kind of book where you can't just make shit up like I typically do on this blog. I had to do all this research and data collection and then data analysis and interpretation. It is a lot of work let me tell you. I also have to pack up the house and the family and sell the house and find a place to live in Maryland, and move to Maryland a start a new job. I start that job on May 19th. What's that you say? "Holy shit that is coming up soon!?" You are correct. Very soon. We are making progress on all fronts I am happy to report. I am sure I'll be back with funny, witty and inciteful stuff soon. In the mean time, enjoy this picture of three Whooping cranes that I saw in Nebraska two weeks ago. I took this picture with my point and shoot camera through my binoculars. The Whooping crane is one of the rarest birds in the world. This species is like California Condor rare with only about 500 individuals in existence and only about 350 in the wild. Here are three of them, a mama, a papa, and last years baby -- a teen ager of sorts.
