Dark Waters (movie)

Really good movie about the real-life legal battle against DuPont over the release of a toxic chemical into Parkersburg, West Virginia's water supply.  The poisoned water supply affected 70,000 townspeople and hundreds of livestock.

Did coronavirus spread from pangolins?

The new coronavirus or Covid-19 is zoonotic, meaning it jumped from animals to people.  Genetic research has confirmed that it probably originated in bats, but scientists think another animal served as the intermediary between bats and humans.   Could this animal be the scaly, nocturnal pangolin?

"I most enjoy woodlands which are unkempt, with fallen trees and branches on the ground, brushes and brambles in sprawl, and no clear footpath. You have to find your own way through a deadly labyrinth of nettles, thorns, spines, and prickles. These wild woodlands are a fascinating reminder of what nature was like before humanity: a tangled, prickly, and venomous darkness, often hostile and sinister, but at the same time mysteriously beautiful. The wildest things are the most alive, and finding yourself amid the wilderness in an age when man has subdued every other part of life is refreshing."  - Harry J. Stead
