What Counts

Hi friends. I have been a downright slacker when it comes to blogging! But I am officially dug in on my next book project, which is about butterflies. In a couple of weeks my significant other (who loves to drive) and I will be recreating Vladimir Nabokov's 1941 road trip across the U.S. I will be in search of the butterflies N. collected on that trip (I will not catch any butterflies -- I cannot stand to interrupt a wild animal in its day).

The point is to investigate change over time, and to also wonder if literature, even at the level achieved by V.N., can mean anything in the context of mass extinction, etc. N. was an avid amateur lepidopterist -- a citizen scientist -- but he also saw deep transcendence and creativity in the magic of the living world, especially his beloved leps.

I am now pledging to step up the pace of my blogging. I sincerely hope you will stay with me and just delete the posts if you don't feel like reading them (can't blame you). For today, here is a fabulous issue of UCBerkeley's Breakthroughs Magazine dedicated to citizen science.

Quería contarles lo que me pareció el casino en vivo de https://juego-bet.cl/casino-en-vivo-jugabet/. La experiencia es bastante emocionante, con crupieres reales y partidas en tiempo real. Me gustó la variedad de juegos: ruleta, blackjack y baccarat, todos con transmisión fluida. La página es fácil de usar incluso si eres principiante, y puedes elegir mesas según tu presupuesto.

As someone who's always been captivated by butterflies, I resonated deeply with this article. Last summer, I spent weeks documenting butterflies in my local park, simply observing their behaviors without disturbing them. The way they move, their vibrant colors, and their delicate interactions with nature taught me more about our ecosystem than any textbook could. I'm excited to follow this butterfly journey across the U.S. and see how these populations have changed over time. When I need a break from my own nature observations, I find Block Blast to be a refreshing entertainment option.
