Naebody in Particular
You won't find them on a shortbread tin, but our ancestors live on so long as we keep telling their stories. Scots, Yanks, Canucks and the Auld Enemy. Newest posts are the ancestors, but scroll for the living.

travel: rainy season
it rained pretty much every day while we were down in costa rica — which it should have, considering it was late May and the start of the rainy season.that said, in an eight day trip, it really only effected our plans once — and even then it probably shouldn’t have. (only one day did it thunder, but it was so distant that we probably could have swum if we wanted to.) we made sure it was going to be nice before we did the national park, but other than that we didn’t even really have to schedule around it.
plus — rainy season meant WAY less people, which seems like a completely fair price to pay.

the lord god bird
ever since a certain large, unnamed conservation organization “rediscovered” the ivory-billed woodpecker in 2005, i’ve had nightmares about pileated woodpeckers (the smaller but similarly marked woodpecker that the the ivory-billed woodpecker has been frequently mistaken for).which makes it awesome that the first bird it was the first bird that I saw in costa rica — pileated, not ivory-billed.
