Due to a variety of reasons, e.g., procrastination, pandemic, personal home responsibilities, ... being just a few, I have been derelict in my desire to post regularly until mid-September 2020.
[I have some personal writing projects in progress, about past cross-roads events in 1974 and 1977, e.g., moving to El Paso for grad school. With these writings being interrupted by life events, I am also doing these daily writings to "stay in the mindset/habit" of getting something written down, every day, if at all possible. And hoping to resurrect memories and find inspirations.]
As a quick review, I am not a world-traveling Geologist, though have I visited 42 U.S. states, 2 Canadian provinces, and 2 Mexican states, however briefly. I haven't traveled through North America as well as I would have liked (and sometimes I was distracted and sometimes I didn't have a decent camera).
When family responsibilities permit, my second wife enjoys History and Science and we manage a few multi-day excursions, so we still manage some nature photos, museum visits, and travel learning opportunities. [To clarify, my first wife (1984-2015) passed away from a stroke and other health problems in the spring of 2015.]
I never claim to be an "expert" at anything, rather I am a "learned student" with a constant desire to learn more, understand more, and recover some of what has been forgotten over the decades. That being said, from my position of being a "wizened greybeard", I can use my diverse education, life lessons, numerous mistakes, and memories as "teachable moments", "educational resources", etc. When you reach the vaunted (or self-delusional) status of "village elder", you will understand.
Anyway, an Index with links is planned to guide you through my posts. [When I see errors and omissions in my posts, I will endeavor to edit and fix these problems.] I enjoy being outside, as well as sharing those experiences, and I hope to inspire enjoyment of learning, too.
Thanks for your patience.
