Wolf spider

A giant (well, two inches across) Wolf spider (not related to Wolf Blitzer) intruded into our abode last night, no doubt seeking refuge from the chilly temperatures. Rather than killing it, I gently put it into a "detention facility" and released it out back this morning, marking the event with a good-bye photograph, which I've added to the Butterflies, spiders, insects photo gallery page. It seems to have lost one leg. According to the "usually reliable" Wikipedia, it is of the species Hogna frondicola.

This (or that) year's
blog highlights

Blog highlights have been compiled for the years 2010-2012 thus far, and eventually will be compiled for earlier years, back to 2002.


Explanation

The "home made" blog organization system that I created was instituted on November 1, 2004, followed by several functional enhancements in subsequent years. I make no more than one blog post per day on any one category, so some posts may cover multiple news items or issues. Blog posts appear in the following (reverse alphabetical) order, which may differ from the chronological order in which the posts were originally made:

  1. Wild birds (LAST)
  2. War
  3. Science & Technology
  4. Politics
  5. Latin America
  6. Culture & Travel
  7. Canaries ("Home birds")
  8. Baseball (FIRST)
