A new summer?

C'mon guys, play fair

It's a number's game?

My colleagues and I have been busy this week capturing the amazing traffic of polar bears coming thru Churchill Manitoba as they wait for...

Is it summer already?

I will admit that keeping this blog has been considerably harder than I thought it would be - given I write all the time. But composing, and particularly composing with only a general audience in mind, has been a challenge. And then summer came along......

So I will be brief in this entry with something that I meant to post months ago - my list of World X day events. Kudos to Detroit Zoo for putting all of these (and many more) in their early summer publication.

Did you know that:

July 29th is International Tiger Day?
August 10th is World Lion Day (oh, those Leos), and
August 14th is World Lizard Day (there are 4,675 species of lizards in the world! Who knew!?)
August 17 is National Honeybee Day (help those bees!)

I am mortified to note that I didn't get any post up here for this past Monday, Arctic Sea Ice Day Check out PBI's article for more information and their website for some really interesting new videos.

That's it for today. I'm hoping if I can keep it brief and informative, I can remember to get here more often. Thanks for being patient!
