Nature and Society: Human error

Well, we all make mistakes. It is a part of human nature; we learn by trial and error.  And if we learn from our mistakes, we don't make the same ones again. As Maya Angelou said, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.”

Nature and Society: Waiting on spring

Well, it looks like spring. It smells like spring. And it sounds like spring. The cardinals are singing, the titmice are calling and the squirrels are chasing up and down.

Our leaders continue to alienate our friends and allies around the world.
