Oreodonts are extinct mammals that looked similar to pigs and sheep, but were more closely related to camels. They are the most commonly found fossil in the White River Badlands in South Dakota, and this exceptional specimen from our collection shows an oreodont curled up inside its burrow.
I'm still on my first life, so that means I... Oh, damn it.
Every time I fly into SEATAC the pilot announces we're on initial descent and current conditions are, "46 degrees, light rain, wind out of the north at 10." Every. Single. Time.

Sunset faded in an all to brief flash of oranges and reds over Pikes Peak. A peaceful good night to you in a not so peaceful world.
Morning sun illuminates Pikes Peak to start of the month of March.
Hazy Houston skyline from IAH. It was 85 here today so I’m thankful to be heading home to Colorado. It’s too warm in Colorado for this time of year, but at least not surface of the sun hot like south Texas.
#FossilFriday The impressive teeth of an Eocene brontothere displayed in Vernal’s Utah Field House museum.
News of the World with Tom Hanks. It’s a comfort movie for me, and not many have heard of it.
How’s it going? This is how it’s going. Someone hacked into my rental car overnight. Buuuut, she left a note with all of her insurance information. There are still good of people in this world. Accidents happen. It’s why we buy insurance.
I’m in Houston this week for follow up appointments with MD Anderson clinic. Plenty of slack time to explore Herman Park and the Museum District. I even rode the little train that circles the park.

Storm coming in. Pikes Peak is somewhere behind the clouds working snowy magic.
This action further harms Colorado’s leading scientific research, competitiveness, and the safety of our communities.

A stormy morning on Pikes Peak; cold sunlight for those of us down below.

Lichen grows on the rocks outside my window. They need little water, some sun, not to be disturbed. Two things in a mutualistic relationship, as the biologists say. A peaceful way to bring beauty to the world. What keeps them together? Simple biology? Natural selection? I think it’s love.
Fresh snow on Pikes Peak
The yin and yang of the Silken Windhound.
Good morning! Clouds over Pikes Peak to start the day. Pikes is thinking stormy thoughts but has been reluctant to share snow with those of us down below so far this year.
New Vintage Dinosaur Art! And I'm happy to say that it's more Maurice Wilson from the 1950s, courtesy of reader Alexander Guridov. Wilson's art is remarkably well-observed and beautifully painted for the time, and I might get a bit gushing.
There are principles I was taught as a child and still believe. The 442nd Regimental Combat Team taught me this one. "Americanism is a matter of the mind and heart; Americanism is not, and never was, a matter of race or ancestry."
