I’m not surprised Eclectic Echoes came up gender neutral. It may be your site, but you asked me to contribute, so it’s half male and half female. We balance and compliment each other.

LOL, I guess the Gender Analyzer doesn’t speak to pages made in Mac applications?

Did it, although he has a LONG way to go to overcome the lead of the two ahead of him!!

Thanks Kevin!

Valid point Chuck, but please try not to insult the host at the same time. “It’s” vs “its” is arguable one of the most common grammatical errors in modern English. Proper comma usage and “it’s” vs. “its” are the two issues most pressing to address in my writing, and I am working on them. Then again, this is my free form writing joint – where I get to write without being graded, where I write mostly for me. Most of my blog writing is essentially unedited. I would edit heavier here, but then I would get even less posted up, since my first commitment is to getting my writing done for my degree, publications, and getting on to graduate school.

Please, please, please! Stop using “it’s” where you should use “its“. You seem like an intelligent person. If only you can remember fourth grade grammar. Every time you write “it’s” read the sentence you are going to use it in and say “it is” and “it has” wherever you’ve used “it’s“. If the sentence no longer makes sense, omit the apostrophe and use “its“.

Hi Eric, it’s great the way you teach your son about nature. We need more conservationists on the planet. It is a great story and I love the photo of the Red-footed Boobie with the sun shining through its feet! Thanks for sharing!

This is really cool… Sometimes I just have to go with my large shore I have a nice joke. What makes a bowling alley so quiet? You can hear a pin drop.

I have to admit: taxonomy confuses me. It seems I’m always having to double check the classification of things I THOUGHT I knew… nudibranchs drive me wild with that!

What a wonderful post! (Aside from the thanks which are always appreciated!) the info on his lab work and the photo are priceless. As always, I love seeing him in action; and I respect and applaud the great work you (Tammy!) are doing with his education!!! My Dad was flabbergasted by Johann’s intelligence and scientific descriptions of what he had been studying when we talked on the phone last week. Keep up the great work.
Love and kisses

Hi Eric, Nice Tern photo. I do love watching the swallows I think more than any other bird. As you say, like watching precision jet fighters only better! I can’t believe you actually got some captures of swallows on your Flickr page. Congrats!

@JimBobTX:
Glad to clarify.
Wow. Snow in the Sierra’s!
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. Boise got snow the other day as well (We got a call from a dear friend from there just yesterday!)
Look forward to seeing all the photos! Johann and GGpa Wayne had a long telephone call tonight as well.

Oh, you’ll have to look at Flickr and see who has a new flickr account.

Eric,
Thanks for your clarification. As Kate said, I knew what it probably was, but your research helps to significantly clarify it. Having been to the Adler Planetarium before, I agree it is worth it … especially considering some of the idiotic things that other congress folks have earmarked money for!!!
By the way, I was up in the snow in the Eastern Sierra’s this afternoon, trying to photography the Ancient Bristlecone Forests. While we weren’t able to get all the way in to the Patriarch area, we did get some decent photos I think. It will be on to Mono Lake tomorrow.
