Southern California UFO Field Guide by Grant Knapp & Amanda Lanthorne If you live in Southern California, you are no stranger to UFOs! ESPECIALLY if you've lived here as long as ME.

This handy handbook shows you UFO groups like Heaven's Gate, many Scientology off-shoots and El Cajon's favorites Unarius Academy of Science. They provide a map of "hot spots." They list several Space Programs like Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Mojave Air and Space Port and Palomar Observatory. It ends with locations of military sites - well you get the idea.

It's beautifully done, actually. Do not be afraid!

The final dragon is done. I need to iron it and then I'll get it framed for my son. Pattern is Dragons: A Field Guide, by Climbing Goat Designs.

Field Guide Once, in the cool blue middle of a lake, up to my neck in that most precious element of all, I found a pale-gray, curled-upwards pigeon feather floating on the tension of the water at the very instant when a dragonfly, like a blue-green iridescent bobby pin, hovered over it, then lit, and rested. That’s all. I mention this in the same way that I fold the corner of a page in certain library books, so that the next reader will know where to look for the good parts. —Tony Hoagland

How is it April already? Well, guess that means it's time for the next online study group for The Everyday Naturalist: How to Identify Animals, Plants, and Fungi Wherever You Go! This month we'll be discussing Chapter Three, which goes into various tools and supplies you might need before going out into the field for nature identification. Even if you haven't attended previous study group sessions, you can still join me for this one; registration information for this and all future sessions for the year are at https://rebeccalexa.com/the-everyday-naturalist-study-group/

And, as always, this is NOT just for the Pacific Northwest! The material in The Everyday Naturalist can be used anywhere you like to explore the outdoors.

Absolutely ready to lose my mind as more and more guides I'm seeing are ai generated! You can't just press buttons and hope for the best! You're fucking things up and people over in genuinley terrifying ways!

Are you going to take accountability when someone IDs something wrong? When people lose the ability to properly identify a species because you couldn't be bothered to put in any effort? For the damage to the community???
