fascinating.

I wish hunters would get more involved in wildlands conservation. The Ducks International group does to some extent - I'm not sure if there are other groups that do similar work.

I'd love to visit Austin one of these days; never been there but it seems like a terrific city. I am from the Palm Springs area of California (don't live there now, though) and miss the heat and a southern vibe.

Anyway, I think you will really enjoy the Kingsolver book. In addition to being very informative, there are passages that are also just hilarious (esp. when she starts talking about turkey mating - lol). I'd also be really interested on your take of the book whenever you read it - if you wouldn't mind doing a review here in this Frugal and Energy Efficient Living Group...
