JudyOhio: Job Hunting: Victory!
http://judyohio.blogspot.com/2010/11/job-hunting-victory.html
Where "normal" is your neighbor's name. Friday, November 26, 2010. It's a Winston Churchill kind of day here in unemployment land. I'm doing this little victory dance, kinda of old school, but Winnie would approve. Here's the scoop. I'm typing away, venting about how uncivilized the job search is in this economy and I get a call. If you think this is the end of my ironic story, it gets better. The next day, I got a call about a job that I had applied for a month ago. OMG! November 26, 2010 at 5:27 PM.

JudyOhio: The Lost Generation Looks for a Job
http://judyohio.blogspot.com/2010/12/lost-generation-looks-for-job.html
Where "normal" is your neighbor's name. Sunday, December 5, 2010. The Lost Generation Looks for a Job. I'm concerned. No, I'm down right worried about the 20 somethings who are looking for work right now. I have two in that category so I know first hand what they are experiencing. They have the misfortune of starting their work careers in a sucky labor market. Hell, it's not even a market. It's more like a yard sale. Was the fate of the free world on his shoulders? I think it's more a test of endurance&#...

JudyOhio: Working Retail Sucks!
http://judyohio.blogspot.com/2010/11/working-retail-sucks.html
Where "normal" is your neighbor's name. Monday, November 29, 2010. I'm there because it's cheap, so don't judge me. What I really have to tell you is that retail sucks hugely! Working retail is at the bottom of the respect scale. Why has retail turned me against the human race? I swear she was in my store yesterday. While her pregnant mother attempted to shop, she and her little brother ran amuk through the racks. Every ten seconds she stopped and shrieked at the top of her lungs. I mean the ...Fortunate...

mouse medicine: all day i hear the noise of waters
http://www.mousemedicine.com/2013/02/all-day-i-hear-noise-of-waters.html
Finding wonder and meaning in the little things of life. Saturday, February 2, 2013. All day i hear the noise of waters. All day I hear the noise of waters. Sad as the sea-bird is when, going. He hears the winds cry to the water's. The grey winds, the cold winds are blowing. I hear the noise of many waters. All day, all night, I hear them flowing. James Joyce ( 2 february. 1882 - 1941) novelist and poet. Today is the 8th annual brigid poetry festival! Photo: lake erie, 31 january 2013. If so, might I hav...

It Just Comes Naturally: February 2015
http://itonlycomesnaturally.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 26, 2015. Winter Weeds in Snow. On Sunday morning, February 22, 2015, the northern Piedmont received two inches of snow followed by a bit of freezing rain that left a glaze over everything outdoors. As I walked to open the driveway gate to my preserve, some of the winter weeds slightly encased in ice struck me as having a particularly "Japanese" gestalt. I hope you agree (and enjoy)! The images are better enlarged. Wednesday, February 25, 2015. Monday, February 16, 2015. A Ray of Hope.

It Just Comes Naturally: August 2014
http://itonlycomesnaturally.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 31, 2014. On Saturday morning, I went outside my back door and nearly walked face-first into a caterpillar that had spun a silken thread to descend from the canopy of the huge sycamore tree that grows behind the house. I was in and our of the house several times over the course of a half hour, and the caterpillar was there each time I went in and out. Thursday, August 28, 2014. Rail to Trail Reconnoiter. Traversing a trestle spanning my creek at the southern end of my preserve. The line wa...

It Just Comes Naturally: Standard Issue Male
http://itonlycomesnaturally.blogspot.com/2015/07/standard-issue-male.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2015. A fire ant simultaneously biting and stinging (Internet image). In a comment to my blogging colleague Packrat on his blog Desert Packrat. Desertpackrat.blogspot.com), I mentioned that I had once had a horrific encounter with fire ants ( Solenopsis invicta. That could have threatened my life and about which I never (at the time) told my wife Kali. I figured that I had related this story in a previous blog post, but Packrat told me he didn't recall the story. So, here goes. Robin ...

It Just Comes Naturally: Foray to Frazier's Bog
http://itonlycomesnaturally.blogspot.com/2015/07/foray-to-fraziers-bog.html
Friday, July 10, 2015. Foray to Frazier's Bog. Morton Arboretum's Joe Rothleutner's preparing an herbarium specimen. On Wednesday, July 8, I had the good fortune to escort two horticultural professionals to an amazing wetland located 0.3-mile from my office- a forested swamp known as Frazier's Bog. Fortunately, the country club recognizes the wetland's value. Frazier's Bog (and and only two other sites in Pennsylvania) support sweetbay magnolia trees ( Magnolia virginiana.

It Just Comes Naturally: November 2014
http://itonlycomesnaturally.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 13, 2014. Schuylkill Banks (Urban Hike). Pierce Park skateboard daredevils with Philadelphia Art Museum in background. Kali about to enter the over-water section of the trail. Detail of one of the handsome granite entrance posts to the over-water section. Another entrance post detail. The over-water trail at river level. The trail currently/temporarily ends at the South Street Bridge (yes, that. Including Kali and me. Left) and another structure whose title I didn't notice. The steel t...
