365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.

Beloved Villains
Day 91: Having exhausted Netflix's library of modern "Doctor Who" episodes, I jumped in the TARDIS and took a trip back to the William Hartnell years for a look at the very first Doctor. I have to say I'm enjoying the old stories immensely despite their lack of sophisticated special effects. My greatest delight, however, is in seeing the original Daleks. Remarkably, they have changed very little over the years. Their ship is another matter. When they first invaded Earth, they travelled from Skaro in a pie tin, the "flying saucer" so popular in 60s culture. That said, the Daleks were just as malevolent in those days as they are now...the most-loved villains of all time.
