The cultural price of war… This is a before and after photo of the Grand Mosque in Aleppo, Syria. It was a World Heritage site, gone now.

Four Ajanta caves to be closed to the public
One of the most difficult decisions that any archaeological or historical site has to make is over public access to the site. How much traffic can those fragile resources take before they begin to deteriorate so much that preserving them means prohibiting people from seeing them? The Ajanta Caves recently decided to close four caves to protect them. While this affects the ability to educate the public, we think it was the right decision. These sacred sites are too precious to watch them fade into the dust.

Red Canyon Ranch, Wyoming
It’s hard to believe it’s autumn. For the first time ever we still have green grass growing on the ranch in October. The buffalo are looking healthy and happy. The great nutrition means the calves are just glossy and beautiful. They play all the time, probably enjoying the last few days of lingering warmth. Just as we are. Hope you are all having a quiet beautiful Fall.
Typical day in the life of writers…

Yes, this is the kitchen counter with the usual clutter, coffee cup, notepad, tennis shoes nested amid banana bread crumbs, copy of Science News, and reading glasses. All within reach of the computer. Are all authors total slobs?
Equinox already!

Shannon stretching in the sun streaming through the open door. Our house is oriented so that the main door faces the east, which means warm sunlight falls on Shannon’s rug and eases some of the pain in her arthritic joints.
