i was able to get outside today for a while. weeded, picked gravel out of the dirt, buried some bean pods and bones from a roasted chicken for a while and then went and tried to find the poison ivy in some bushes - could not find it at all.

i actually sweated a little. <horror>

California’s wildlife bridge became a target for the right. Now it’s eyeing the finish line

Unhindered by critics who called the $114m project ‘a bridge to nowhere’, a gigantic bridge allowing animals to cross a busy freeway is close to completion

it may be a lot of money but i'm sure a lot more has been spent for less... at least this does something for wildlife and diversity and it looks better than the highway going underneath it...
