If ever you feel stressed out about politics, finances, parenting, work, a relationship, or just life in general, come back to this tweet...just listen and relax. Let the call of a loon take you to the wilderness, away from it all.
27,000 square feet takes our distribution center to more than 140,000. Will we fill that addition anytime soon? Probably not. It was a "chess move", a long-term plan to be ready for possible futures (one possibility: someday perhaps a huge retailer carries our furniture & sleds)
Last night's Lockport Observatory announcement party was held in the Five Locks Lounge of @bigditchbrewing in Lockport. An exceptional place at which to hold a special event. Food, beverages, service, location...all top notch.
Last night, we introduced to community members the Lockport Observatory. The non-profit "newspaper" will meet people where they are - that is, online. Free news, events, storytelling by and for your community, with journalistic integrity, coming February 1 vimeo.com/1238587285?fl=pl&f…
Today is the ribbon cutting at our warehouse expansion! Big day for the company, our coworkers, and our customers.
Many wildflowers are past bloom now. But, some planted sunflower fields are still growing strong. Now, they provide nourishment to bees. In the coming months, they will provide nourishment to birds #Nature365

A place to appreciate the artistry of both nature and humanity is Glenwood Lake and Boxwood Cemetery in Medina. The lake and stately trees afford you the chance to watch wildlife while the cemetery features incredible history. #Nature365
October and November are the domain of oil beetles -- also known as blister beetles. Look, but don't touch. Here's a column I wrote about them last year:

Belva Lockwood was born this day in 1830 -- in my town. Here's a 2024 column I wrote about her:

And on top of that, many of its preferred flowers are past bloom
When I see a monarch in WNY in mid- or late-October I can't help but think it's the loneliest of souls. It emerged well after most all of its species, it missed the boat for mass migration, it has no mates, and a cold snap could kill it prematurely #Nature365

Powerful interview.
In an exclusive interview with Oregon Public Broadcasting , Kaylub Giamanco, the man who fatally shot the teenage school shooter at Silver Rail Elementary, shares what he wants people to know about his experience.

Birds Canada notes that loons are in decline. Sometime soon I will be writing a column about the same...but with an entirely different assessment: I believe loons are declining quickly (in the Adirondacks specifically) due to the rapid rise in otters birdscanada.org/news/new-com…
We are at the northern edge of the range for the Carolina Wren. Their local numbers plummeted dramatically due to two brutally cold winters in a row. The birds either died or went/stayed south. If el Nino projections hold true, expect a noticeable rebound in 2027 #Nature365
As world leaders meet at a UN summit to preserve the world's animals and plants, a group of scientists is pushing to protect another diverse kingdom of species they say is too often forgotten – fungi. cbc.ca/news/science/cop17-fu…
