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.

Towel Day 2016
Day 225: "Don't Panic!" I was afraid I might have to defend myself in words similar to those before this photo shoot was over, but luckily, the Park's road crew was otherwise engaged. Had they brought heavy equipment back to the landing, they might have caught me running back and forth wearing my jammies, bathrobe and bowler hat, sock-footed on the gravel and a towel over my shoulder, carrying an empty teacup and electronic copy of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." I doubt they would have understood that I was standing in for that hoopy frood Arthur Dent while he slipped down to the pub for a pint, leaving me in position in front of the grader. One cannot allow a bypass to be put through one's property unless one is properly fortified, no matter what the council claims. Fortunately, Arthur returned in time for me to escape without being seen. I think that gives us...what? two minutes? before the Vogons roll through. Do you know where your towel is?
