That is an interesting bit of history for me anyway.

I remember this bridge! In my caption I said that I was going to quit complaining about the narrow sidewalks on the Deception Pass Bridge.

From our experience, you’re pretty lucky to not get so close to those bees.

I’m not sure, but this one might be a shag.

I’ve read some questionable quality issues with schwalbe tires the last couple years. I’ve switched to continental brand tires. Right now I use the urbans. So far they have held up.

Looks a lot like a Gran Canaria blue finch.

That means you will probably bag one in a day or two. That is what happened with the Hoopoe.

It should. Same species. The common raven is the most widely distributed of all the Corvids.

Lucky! I’ve been hoping for a chance to get a photo of this bird, but no luck yet. I’ve probably seen a couple dozen of them this spring - including two just today - but they always disappear into the trees as soon as I see them.

Who ever thought having a flat tire would be a good thing! I'm glad Dodie was okay.

Kelly Iniguez commented on Packing Up

I just spent a half hour digging around in our health insurance policy. It does say that it covers international health care - just two lines in a 141 page document. That's not real reassuring, and it doesn't cover any sort of emergency transportation or plane tickets home.

It's hard to know which private travel insurance company is reputable.

This question probably hinges on a Canada US health insurance difference. Canadians pay nothing directly for most health care. Consequently they carry no special health insurance normally. So for travel it's needed to buy special coverage from a private company. That will cover all countries and all non insane sports or activities. Notably most companies want to know if you are going to the US, the most costly place for them.
