Moving into a different mode, my wife Naomi and friends cowrote and produced a phenomenal audio track about the Parkland tragedy. I would like to share it with everyone. As I work with kids in the woods, I want them to be protected in nature and in the classroom. Go to this link to listen. www.meaningfulmusicproductions.com It makes a deep statement. Thanks.

It is amazing what happens in an ecosystem and the impact that every living thing has on every other living thing. Just watched a documentary on PBS on Wild: Making Wildlife Corriders including these wolves and around the world. Let's coexist!!! SalMan

Look what came to my house last night, the largest moth on the Pacific Coast, the Polyphemus. We called our friend Tony, an entomology photographer and a key staff member of KIW3 who came and took these photos. Pretty cool. The moth stayed till today and then when we were wondering what to do, it flew away looking for a mate. It has no teeth and lives only about 30 days. An amazing life. My interspecies experience of the year.
