Gotta get back up there with the birds
As you can probably tell I've been sorting pictures the last week or two and posting the odd finds here. It's got me wishing I were up at the Bosque with the birds. This winter has been a wet one but until that breaks I'm staying put.

Skepticism is Helpful
If you want to notice things that seem wrong, you'll find a degree of skepticism helpful. I take it as an axiom that we're only achieving 1% of what we could. This helps counteract the rule that gets beaten into our heads as children: that things are the way they are because that is how things have to be. For example, everyone I've talked to while writing this essay felt the same about English classes-- that the whole process seemed pointless. But none of us had the balls at the time to hypothesize that it was, in fact, all a mistake. We all thought there was just something we weren't getting.
