milestone: #500



It's hard to believe. Where does the time go?

My 500th weekly nature column appears in the farragutpress this week. The first one was published on August 25, 1999. Over the ten year run, that works out to roughly 225,000 words. I'm not sure if I even know that many words.

Special thanks to Dan, Linda, Kim and all the rest of the staff at the best community newspaper in the valley. No fluff here. Each week it's full; 100 percent local news plus that nature boy. What else could you possibly want?
