We're in the Desert
Partly motivated by my desire to get out of the city, part interested in seeing what it all looks like after the devastating Southern California wild fires, and partly wanting to see how Peromyscus populations are doing after this years record drought- we decided to spend a few days in the desert! Our plan is to spend 2 nights in Palm Desert, Riverside County, then 2 days in a hotel near Echo Valley (Near Alpine, CA- Southern San Diego County).
We woke up early this AM and took a walk up into the canyon. Things looked pretty dry in general. It was chilly- probably about 50 degrees. The highlight by far was a fantastic show put on by the critically endangered Penninsular Bighorn Sheep. We say 2 big males, an immature male, and 5 ewes. They were really amazing- Ill post some photos of these guys later.

WOW, awesome, hope you have a great time, call when you can. love to all you adventurous spirits, MOM
aw heck, i only check in on this blog every once in a while, and am sorry to see i checked in just a few days too late.
I live in Cathedral City (right next to Palm Desert), have a degree in behavioral ecology (well, technically a Masters in Integrative Biology) from UCB, and would have loved to show you and yours 'round some of the better sights.
maybe next time.
next time you think you'll be in the area, shoot me an email if you wish.

Shouldn't you be enjoying your family instead of bloging this? Get off that computer and have fun with you kids!
only cowards or children place potentially inflammatory comments anonymously.. why not be man/woman enough to stand by your comments.
Computer Addiction, Internet Addictive Disorder or Cyberaddiction. It is a problem very similar to Pathological Gambling or Compulsive Shopping. Like other addictions, it affects other people -- family, friends, and co-workers. Spouses complain that their loved ones neglect them. Couples separate when one of the partners finds someone else on the Internet and leaves home. Like gamblers they compulsively keep investing time and money. They fantasize that the next connection they make will solve all their problems.
THE SYMPTOMS OF COMPUTER ADDICTION are quite specific:
Psychological Symptoms
Having a sense of well-being or euphoria while at the computer
Inability to stop the activity
Craving more and more time at the computer
Neglect of family and friends
Feeling empty, depressed, irritable when not at the computer
Lying to employers and family about activities
Problems with school or job
希望大家都會非常非常幸福~
「朵朵小語‧優美的眷戀在這個世界上,最重要的一件事,就是好好愛自己。好好愛自己,你的眼睛才能看見天空的美麗,耳朵才能聽見山水的清音。好好愛自己,你才能體會所有美好的東西,所有的文字與音符才能像清泉一樣注入你的心靈。好好愛自己,你才有愛人的能力,也才有讓別人愛上你的魅力。而愛自己的第一步,就是切斷讓自己覺得黏膩的過去,以無沾無滯的輕快心情,大步走向前去。愛自己的第二步,則是隨時保持孩子般的好奇,願意接受未知的指引;也隨時可以拋卻不再需要的行囊,一路雲淡風輕。親愛的,你是天地之間獨一無二的旅人,在陽光與月光的交替之中瀟灑獨行.............................................................................................................
有時,你覺得痛。胃痛的時候,接受它,承認這個疼痛是你的身體的一部份,與它和平共處。心痛的時候,接受它,承認這個經驗是你的生命的一部份,與它和平共處。抗拒痛的存在,只會讓它更要證明它的存在,於是你就更痛。所以,.無論你有多麼不喜歡痛的感覺,還是要接納這個痛的事實。與你的痛站在同一邊,不逃避,不閃躲,不再與你的痛爭執,如此,你的痛才會漸漸不再胡鬧,才會乖乖平息下去。.................
