Another method of payment
What an odd winter, the warmest January on record (in Portland where they track those sorts of things) and now a weekend where it will bee cold enough to cancel outdoor events and get us all looking at our woodpiles. No worries here we have plenty of wood and the dogs will be in the office for a good part of the next several days. A predicted high temperature of 0 always gets our attantion.

I have been asked to speak to the Maine Legislatures committee on Inland Fisheries and Wildlife next Monday. I think mostly because over time I became a fixture at their meetings. At the introductory sessions with the committee I always talked about the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation; hopefully to get them to see their role in this important and successful system.
All of the talk about artificial intelligence in the last few weeks has me baffled. First I must ask have none of these people ever used a GPS for directions?
