I appreciate your threads- don't let those who are motivated by a prejudicial and absurd political view wear you down. Facts will win. Or course, we may all be dead by then, but facts and truth will win!

It's awesome to hear what you and nerfer are involved in. I hike and enjoy nature almost every weekend. I love nature. I'm interested in getting involved. Let me know if you can guide me to some good websites (I will check out local wilderness websites, but I'm only looking for one-day-a-week weekend volunteering). I've helped plant natural vegetation before but they only have those days once or twice a year for the public. I've taken a lot of biology courses being that I have a degree in biochem, so I understand nature relatively well, but I'm sure a biologist knows much more than me (don't underestimate my knowledge of ecosystems though). Anyhow, please reply and inspire me. Thanks!

thanks man, i really appreciate you saying so
i'm up in SF and Sacto from time to time, i'll give you a heads up if you'd like

Here are those links I talked to you about as I was leaving.

Welcome back!!

What's up! Haven't seen you for months! What's happening?

How are you doing with the Nokian i3s?

Oh yeah. I also keep track of bluebird boxes as part of my monitoring duties for the local forest preserve district and our prairie group (Citizens for Conservation, a smallish local group, they own about 350 acres and helped the county acquire much more). Recently went to Yellowstone and was intrigued by the variety of plants in the highlands. Many are similar to those in the Illinois tallgrass, but a smaller variety. They also have a different variety of bluebird.

Thanks. I put that barn pic in my photo album, nice to have that feature back.
I have the feeling if we ever got together we'd have a few things to talk about: land trusts and restoration (I'm involved with a prairie restoration group here), similar political/environmental viewpoints, the value of reasoned discussions, and of course the Prius.

Good to have you as a friend too. I'm glad you're studying and involved. I just happened to notice him/them signing up and going straight to that thread. The mods can see the IP people post from, so can determine if the posts come from the same source. But celicasupra was right, 2 posts by Joshh generated 22 replies. Hard to resist feeding the trolls.
