Some News I Would Like To Comment On If You Don’t Mind

Ok, hi. I’ve been reading/watching/listening to the news a lot lately (for lack of anything more constructive to do) and would like to comment on some of the big big stories. First up, I’d like to talk about the media’s dear, dear friend Lisa Marie Nowak, who (in case you don’t have any access to [...]

Semi-Regular Chiroptera Blogging

I know I promised to bombard you with pictures from my trip to Mexico, and I know that I actually haven’t been posting much of anything since I got back, but I hereby promise to post pictures of at least two of the species of bat that I worked with (see, if I lower your [...]

So I just decided to keep a written log of my time here and then I’ll just post that somehow when I get back. It’s easier this way, promise.
Not much time here for anything other than catching bats and sleeping, but what time I do have has been going to reading. I’m afraid I [...]

about the title on the last one

I FORGOT to talk about the bus, from which the title ‘clase king uno’ comes. So like I said I took a bus today from gc to tap and inadvertantly placed my name in the KING UNO class when I was buying my ticket, which placed me, with a select few other passengers, in a [...]

clase king uno

I just arrived (well, JUST in the sense of a few hours ago) in Tapachula, a city of middling importance (as far as I know–which isn’t very far) in the Mexican state of Chiapas, a state of which I know at least some of you are very fond. But it’s not what you think. I’m [...]
