Language Liberalism Freethought Birds
Verbing Weirds Language only if you're expecting it to work in a simple way. This is a special case of the more general truth that Language Weirds.
Only when a republic's life is in danger should a man uphold his government when it is in the wrong. There is no other time.
The church says Earth is flat; but I have seen its shadow on the moon, and I have more confidence in a shadow than the church.
If we can't find Heaven, there are always bluejays.
Almost the last week I'll be at the College Park office. Here are a few butterflies and skippers, including one I've never seen (or at least not to know) before: an American snout - the source of the name is obvious!
A slightly tattered Painted Lady
A Common buckeye
And three skippers, one largish (for skippers) Silverspotted

I used to teach Russian and Ukrainian, and some basic English, to civil servants. Now I teach Russian at a local continued-learning institute. I dabble in Gaelic and Welsh. I'm am amateur photographer and I love birding (in a small way). I'm a Progressive, and a Freethinker, and I know Evolution is a fact - that's FCD, Friend of Charles Darwin (look down the sidebar). I read a lot, and follow women's college basketball. Also I love astronomy, though I'm a rank amateur at it. Most of all, I like living in the reality-based community...

<-- Older Post ^ Home Newer Post -->These are lovely. I like the Pearl Crescent especially, the play of sunlight on its markings.
The swallowtails' swallow-tails make them seem quite large, though they probably aren't. We don't have these in Ireland, I think, though there are hairstreaks with similar but much shorter protruberances.
Thank you. I like the crescent a lot myself.
Tiger swallowtails are our largest butterfuly (the US). They're 5.5-6 inches across, nearly 6 times as big as a hairstreak.
