Josh found a new way of uploading photos to blogger... so assuming this works, I'll start using this blog again.

Rain in the Topa Topa Mountains

the rain always starts in the mountains first.

Fire in Green Valley Lake

There is a fire in Green Valley Lake, and Josh has found pictures of cabins near the beer rock burning down. There aren't enough resources to stop this fire. I don't know if it burned the cabin down but if it did, I will let you all know. Then I'll go get drunk and cry. (but not while at the plant conference.)

Hi

Hello from Ventura!

Things are going well here, although they are quite busy. Sara is living with me now, and will soon be spending much of her time on the Channel Islands. Work is good, but busy, and I am getting a chance to do some vegetation mapping.

I haven't been posting many photos in this blog, because there is something wrong with the uploader, and it doesn't work very well. However, if anyone reading this has interest in weather, they can visit my occasionally-updated weather blog at

I also have some pictures up at that site.

a hotel for white ladies only? racist!

This area of southern Ireland reminded me of Georgia.

"Street Love" in Cork

St. Patrick's Street in downtown Cork, Ireland

This is the little road I could walk down every day to get a pint or go to the internet cafe or get on a bus to go to other cities.

This would be considered a major highway in Ireland.
