Living Large on Fayetteville

Wow so much has gone unblogged. Mostly, the big move! Regina and I jumped on a condo listing in the heart of Raleigh. We had looked around enough to know a gem when we found it! And then we upped our game by jettisoning most of what we owned and going all-in on DRAB TO FAB! Michael at the Design Haus in Clayton is really setting us up beautifully. Check it out!

I’ll post an update soon!

Center for Biological Diversity Raleigh Meetup

I created a Raleigh-based meetup group for the Center’s Ignite Change action network. I’m excited to keep it going! (even though the first meeting was a bust because I cluelessly scheduled it to start at the exact moment that the Superbowl started! Doh.)

Here are some teasers for what’s to come. Tropic cascade is a fairly recent famous exciting biological observation showing that apex predators have complex positive effects on the layers of flora and fauna under them. Most famous is the example of the effect of wolves re-introduced to Yellowstone. Here is the link, followed by the TED talk of the guy who basically narrated it before it was brilliantly captured with Yellowstone footage. And more and more real-world amazingness. Fight for it!!
