That must have been such a marvelous experience. Rangers in the African parks have extremely hazardous jobs. Their greatest peril is usually poachers, but apparently these were rebels of a political nature.

There is a pair of House Finches in the backyard, and we can share the roundup. And there is some good news this week. Planting more trees in Minnesota for one, and the fact that the Earth starts to recover quickly when given a chance is another. Whether we will have the common sense to let it rebound when this is all over is another question entirely.David M. Gascoigne,https://www.blogger.com/profile/17229638811027153569noreply@blogger.com
