wednesday.

 

i was dreading the dog walk, but we walked twice through the woods and i'm so glad i did.

 

went to lunch with 2 friends for one of their birthdays. we carpooled and on the way visited my kids' preschool, which i haven't been to see in 5 years. at lunch, i ate a variety of things that don't really agree with me. and i felt like i talked too much, in a certain way.

 

i took a tiny nap on the sofa in between carpools. and i turned on the air conditioning. i burst into tears rather spontaneously at the intersection of falls and lake when the teenybopper song came on the radio, and we emptied the fridge for dinner.

 

at my meeting tonight, i told the other mothers that i was uncomfortable with the gossip. it was surprisingly comfortable for me to say so. my kindred spirit in the group is moving next month, and that's hard to swallow.

 

today's update feels very newsy, and really there was a lot happening in my head. maybe it's just not ready to come out yet.

We carpooled from Raleigh to hike part of the "agricultural heartland" of segment 12B. I started at Mary's Chapel and hiked 7.5 miles, ending at Star Communications on US 401.

So....let me start at the beginning.

 

Most of you don't know that my bf Rich just got a job as the delivery driver

at my work. It's a long story but basically they fired the guy who was

delivering before and Rich was there to pick up the pieces. We were pretty

excited because this means double the income we already had AND we would

basically be working the same hours which means carpooling and saving on

gas. Sounds like an awesome deal, right??

 

Well it would have been, except my boss just decided to schedule Rich for

every other shift except delivery. Don't know why or what that is about but

that's what he's been doing. We aren't happy about it, but hey, it's still

double the income so why not just stick it out? Thursday nights at the mall

we work at, they throw "Summer Concerts". Local oldies bands come and play

and the restaurants set up happy hour booths and it's GREAT for the

businesses in the area.It's actually really fun and the bands are awesome.

The only downside to this Thursday, is that Harry Potter was also premiering

this night. AAAAAAND of course I was working the morning shift and Rich was

scheduled to work the closing shift. Our boss told us that we'd be closing

at ten, so I went and hung out with friends and then left for the mall at

1015. ( Rich and I share a car)

 

Well, shame on me, our boss decided to just stay open until 1 AM. Don't get

me wrong, I understand the obvious upside for the business in this. We were

one of only 3 places open that late, and the only one selling coffee. CHA

CHINGGG. However, there was no warning from the boss to the closers that

they would need to stay for ohhhh...an extra 4 hrs. Here's the kicker: Rich

didn't get done with closing until 2 am and I had to be back to open the

store the next morning at 7 am. Which means I got 3 hrs of sleep. Can you

say ROYALLY PISSED OFF?

 

And I bet you're wondering how this relates to my photo. I am the head

barista and somewhat anal about how my coffee station looks when I come in

mornings. One thing that bugs me is stocking coffee lids so high that a 5'1"

person, (me), can't reach the top one and instead knocks them all over. My

boss thought it would be "funny" to stack them impossibly high so I had to

actually stand on a stool to take them down without making a mess.

 

After 3hrs of sleep I was NOT amused.

Polo Match- Barn Workshop- Military Veteran Fundraiser

Aug 12-13th Bettendorf IA, Quad Cities Area

This workshop is a fund raiser for Operation Horses and Heroes, a 501(c)(3) and will take place at the Quad Cities Polo Club and surrounding area on August 12 and 13th, The tour will consist of premium access to photograph the horses before and during the polo match on Saturday afternoon, a group dinner, an overnight stay in a local hotel and a barn or horse barn photographic workshop inside three barns the next morning.

The price for this workshop is $100 and is entirely tax deductible as Keith and Tony are donating all their fees to the not-for-profit and the gate for the match has been waived. The fee covers admission to the polo field and the guided barn workshop the next day. The only out of pocket will be gas and tolls, dinner and the hotel room that will be reserved for you. We will spend a maximum of 1 hour at each barn, giving time to shoot and get individual instruction. We will suggest and help arrange carpooling. The group would be capped at 20 people.

Upon registration you will receive the exact location, parking instructions, photography gear recommendations, and any other vital information to make this a fun, comfortable learning experience. Since this is the first time for the Polo Field hosting such an event, and the first time photographing here, we don’t have any good photos of what you can expect. However, imagine the polo match, riders in colorful silks, horses braided with colorful ribbons, and the match itself with horses flexing, and straining, showing off their power and flexibility. Then Sunday morning we’ll offer exclusive entrance to private barns near the polo grounds with all of it’s textures, and patterns, livestock, fencing, and so many other artful opportunities.

Operation Horses and Heroes is a 501(c)(3) Not-for-profit organization dedicated to provide healing and wellbeing to military veterans and active duty suffering from the effects of PTSD, and other traumatic brain injuries through the proven concept of Equestrian Psychotherapy. It is not horseback riding lessons, in fact it is rare if any of the participants in the program actually mount a horse. It’s more about providing our veterans with a scenario requiring them to work with the horse to accomplish a task under the watchful eye of a highly trained and credentialed Equine Psychotherapist. Using cues from the horse the therapist can establish “tells” about the veteran and use that information to help them understand their PTSD and provide ways to cope with it, or work through it in everyday life situations.

OHH is not funded by any government organization and relies entirely on donations, volunteers, and the support of everyday people like you. We have so far successfully held our 3 and 4 day programs in various locations around the US without it costing our dedicated military men and women any money. It’s bad enough some of them have to take off work, or use precious vacation days for the program, however it works and it vital to healing in the family especially. For more information on Operation Horse and Heroes visit www.operationhorsesandheroes.org or search for them on face book.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------As usual, any fungi IDs given are always tentative, not 100% confirmed. Rule is, if you are not an expert in mycology, do not pick wild mushrooms to eat! You could end up very sick, or worse.

 

Another very gloomy day, with fine drizzle today, 11 September 2019. Our temperature is 9C (feels like 6C). It definitely feels like fall. Snow is already being forecast for parts of Alberta. It will soon be time to get all-season tires off and winter tires put on.

 

Three days ago, on 8 September 2019, we had such a wonderful four and a half hours, searching for different kinds of fungi in the amazing forest on Rod Handfield's land, SW of Calgary. I think this was our tenth visit - the first one I went on, being on 25 June 2009 - each one resulting in various different species. This last visit was so overwhelming! You didn't know which direction to face and which mushroom to photograph first. They were everywhere! Such a contrast to our visit on 6 August 2017, when basically there were no mushrooms (other than maybe three), because everywhere had been so very dry.

 

A day like this can be so exhausting, not just from the walking and fresh air, but also because of all the excitement. The quality of many of my photos is not the best, as the day was very overcast - the last thing one wants when trying to take photos deep in the forest. After leaving Rod's, it did rain. I had driven myself there instead of carpooling, so that I could drive some of the backroads in the area after we had finished. The forecast was for sun and cloud - and I had foolishly believed it. The rain put an end to my plans and I headed for home. I'm so glad I had checked a special little spot near Rod's first thing in the morning, when I got there a bit too early. A few years ago, there was a beautiful display of Fly Agaric / Amanita muscaria mushrooms growing there, but not since then whenever I have checked. To my absolute delight, there were maybe half a dozen, in different stages of development. Surprisingly, we didn't come across a single one in Rod's forest this year.

 

As always, thank you so much, Rod, for so generously allowing us to explore your property. This has been my favourite place to visit for quite a number of years now. We greatly appreciate your kindness - you are always so welcoming, and we learn so much and discover so many beautiful things. Thank you, Karel, for leading the group and helping with identifications. I'm sure at least some of us are anxiously waiting for you to have time, in between leading botany walks, to post some of your photos along with their IDs. Meanwhile, "fungus" has to be sufficient.

I hadn't driven my car in nearly 3 weeks, I've been walking or carpooling everywhere i need to go.

As seen in "Driving Change: Reducing Vehicle Miles Traveled in California," a report by Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC)

This morning, it's back to posting 10 more photos of fungi from our visit to Rod Handfield's acreage. I think these may be the last few odds and ends that I will be adding from this trip. Sorry about the lack of IDs for so many of the fungi, but at least I have made a photo record of many of the species seen.

Missoula In Motion (MIM) exists to promote sustainable alternatives to one person - one car commuting. Not wanting to admonish people for driving, MIM was looking instead to encourage them to change their behavior and use sustainable transportation just one day a week. Our "See Commuting Differently" campaign has helped them get scores of new people to take to bikes, carpooling, buses, walking and vanpools. Bus ridership alone has risen 16% since the campaign began, membership in MIM's member log on group, the Way To Go! Club, has grown exponentially and visits to the website have nearly doubled.

My sister and I are carpooling to school with a family friend. My team is researching alternate methods of transportation. By carpooling we are using less fuel and lowering the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the air.

Took this while carpooling too. This is one of the first colour/b&w photos I've done. Did I do a good job?

 

And yes, these were the bobbleheads that were given out in the cereal boxes a while back.

Cambodian carpooling on the way to the docks.

Work by Yannick Picard. Sainte-Thérèse, Québec.

This photo of a Red-tailed Hawk was taken on March 25th, 2020 in St. Charles, IL. around 5:55 P.M. This bird of prey was camouflaging itself between the branches of a baron tree on an urban trail. The keystone species is essential to the survival of the ecosystem as they feed upon rabbits, voles, small birds, and snakes maintaining top-down control. The removal of this species would have catastrophic effects to the food chain with the rabbit population increasing at a more than sustainable rate.

 

Anthropogenic influences have affected these avian in many ways. As pollution and use of single-use plastics increase, the amount of microplastics in our environment increases. Species at lower trophic levels may consume harmful chemicals (i.e. plasticizers) from the plastics. These chemicals are biomagnified at higher trophic levels and can be leached into tissue leading to harmful physiological effects. One way to reduce this is by reducing use of single-use plastics and engaging in more renewable forms (i.e. paper/cloth grocery bags). Also, B. jamaicensis are wintering farther North. This is a behavioral adaptation to climate change due to trends of increased global land temperature. One way to prevent this gradual increase is by reducing our carbon footprint. We can do this by adopting a plant-based diet and carpooling.

Yeah, they should have been carpooling - or is that truckpooling.

These young people are returning home after a hard day's work at a Clothes Factory.

I can't believe my office isn't technically closed. Carpooled with 3 coworker's today and it was insane. Included a stop on I5 to clear off snow from the ENTIRE windshield. What did you do at work today? Oh, I pushed cars out of the snowbank/parking lot all day. You?

 

I love the snow. I could really get use to this.
