I always thought our local relative the Wolverine was the winner, but after seeing the honey badger struck by a cobra, and taking a nap to shake it off…well, I’m re-thinking the subject. How would you like to see that in your back yard, if you lived in Prague????
I've been thinking a lot about the Wolverine lately, since reading about a study on them in Glacier National Park and thinking I missed the boat; instead of enlisting in the Army, I should have gotten a degree in biology and tracked Wolverines. If you feel the desire, you can contact them and make a donation to the research at the Wolverine Foundation.
Of course, when I think of Glacier, I tend to think of Doug Peacock and his book "Grizzly Years." I've met Doug Peacock three times, I remember all of them...although I am sure they are a little fuzzy in his mind. I love listening to his tales of times with Ed Abbey. Last time I saw Doug was at a reading by him and his lovely wife at Ken Sander's Rare Books...and that always makes me think of Ed Abbey.
All this thought of Abbey, and I need to escape to the desert...drink a few beers and do some hands on research for that book that I know I have hidden away inside me...Then I think of Doug and Ed and wonder what could I add to what they have written? I realize that what I have to add, is my perspective the unique accumulation of all that I have endured and achieved in my half century...so the desert calls...
Birds: Race this weekend!
Honey: This batch of mead will be named "Raving Mead"
