Cranes and their young.

Things I think are a good idea

"I want to go grocery shopping this week."

"Then you'd better put these on."

"Hold up! I think I smell estrogen..."

"There's a 10:1 male to female ratio here in Alaska."

"We'll save money on food...this 50lb bag of flour, some powdered hummus and whatever berries and fungi we can gather should do fine."

"If I keep my head in this grocery bag long enough will chocolate chips appear?"

"Is this hummus or gruel?"

Mosquito Netting

"So, how do you like Alaska?"

"We'll be working a mile off-trail in that general direction."

"I'll collect some pebbles to find my way back."

"Bear-o-bear, gently wake. Don't startle and scare and eat moogen-steak..."

"You'll be isolating detritus samples amidst the logging slash."

"A.K.A. putting dirt in a bag."

"Now take the tweezers and separate the detritus into its composite species."

"Dirt has species?"

"What about radicchio?"

Here we are, kids. Untouched nature!
