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.

God Bless America
Day 150: A visual metaphor. Over the last thirty years, I have watched this building deteriorate from a functional garage into its present state. The graffiti has gone through cycles, largely of a John Birch Society nature, and now all that remains of the original is the peeling stencil of "God Bless America." The most recent addition (barely visible at the lower right of the right window) says "shopping," the word's significance known only to its writer, although it would seem to underscore our present plight. How long will the props hold before this edifice collapses entirely? One good gust of wind from the right direction would do the job.
