It sure feels good!
OK, it's not quite summer but you can feel that it's getting close. The leaves aren't on the trees yet and the grass is just barely starting to turn green. But the sun feels hot on the skin and the temperature is reaching delightful levels this week! This picture was taken today and we are not cold at all. In fact, after 20 minutes, small beads of sweat were starting to form on our brow. What a wonderful change after the snowy winter. This weekend, all the roads at Bare Oaks will finally be open. They're still a bit rough ...

I have uploaded a number of pictures to Flickr, the Yahoo-owned photo sharing service.

It will be an invaluable ...
BBC: What's the Problem with Nudity?
On March 3rd, the BBC show Horizon aired an episode titled "What's the Problem with Nudity?" The show is very interesting. It takes 8 volunteers who have never been nude in public and subjects them to a variety of experiments involving nudity to measure their reactions. What is great is that the networks makes no attempt to hide anything. All parts of the body are shown. I wonder if the CBC would be as tolerant. The show also explores why we are the only "nude" mammal. They try to answer why humans lost their fur and when. Apparently being nude ...
