Is your data long-term enough to tell if green tluerts are nesting earlier in the year? I was told that greens only nested from Memorial Day through Labor Day (USA), and I see you report the first green this year nearly two weeks before then. Is there any long term study similar to the leatherback project being done on greens nesting on Juno/Jupiter beach? Their slowly rising numbers give hope that extinction is NOT inevitable.

Apr15 I have realized that over the cosrue of building a relationship with real estate managers, you'll be able to get them to understand that, in every real estate contract, a payment is paid. All things considered, FSBO sellers really don't save the fee. Rather, they fight to win the commission simply by doing the agent's work. In this, they shell out their money in addition to time to conduct, as best they could, the obligations of an real estate agent. Those assignments include uncovering the home by way of marketing, presenting the home to prospective buyers, making a sense of buyer desperation in order to induce an offer, making arrangement for home inspections, dealing with qualification assessments with the loan company, supervising maintenance tasks, and facilitating the closing.

Too bad your re-enforcement socks did not get to you in time to help you in your time of coldness. Rest asesurd that now that you have them in your possession, you will not need them! Warm nights are there again, either because of the weather or because of the re-enforcements!

Still haven't seen a croc yet. If I'm going to see one it'll have to be on Christmas Day. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone out there.

YES you are right! Walia Ibex only found in the northern mountains of Ethiopia. Only 150–200 animals were surviving in 1963, but now the population has increased to 500 individuals.

Hey Guys - congrats on the wedding!!! Photos are great, just watched your video of driving off the ship....we just bought a pair of those green sand ladders....now I know they can take the weight!! ;-) Hope you are both well. Not sure what your plans are and where you will end up but good luck and safe travels. We are in Cape Town end of Feb 2009 if you fancy coming up to Langebaan. Take care. Nick & Vick
