Happy Birthday Daniel!


Today is my nephew Daniel's Birthday! Happy Birthday! Above is a picture of Daniel when he was 1 year old in June of 1988. Below that is a picture of him a few weeks ago. Wow! How time flies, I still remember him at 1.

Steve Loves Bats III


This is the Honduran White Bat (Ectophylla alba). This bat has a fluffy snow white coat. Their ears, face, nose and parts of their legs and wings are bright orange. This is a very small bat. They range from 4-5 cm. (1-2 inches), about the size of an adults thumb. They live in colonies of one male and several females. They live in rainforests that have heliconia plants. They cut the spine on a heliconia leaf to form a tent. The colony takes shelter under this tent from the tropical rain as well as any predators. One colony has several tents in a patch of forest where they feed. They like to eat fruit and other vegetation.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day Mom! You are a great mother and I love you very much. Have a great day. This is a picture of me, my sister Dee and my mother Dolores. I look around 2 years old, so it must be around 1967 (just a guess though).

The Answer Is Yes!

I haven't posted for a while. I hurt my back and have been taking it easy. You might say "But Steve, Isn't your back already hurt? Shouldn't you be taking it easy already?" And I would say, "Nobody likes a smart ass!" I was trying to fix the garden drip system, I needed to stop some drippers, (slow water emitters) we are not using anymore. I went at it for a few hours straight. STUPID! I have not had this much pain since right after my back surgery. I am going to see my doctor tomorrow or the next day. I just have such a Type A personality that I can't sit around all day. Unfortunately this time, that "can't sit still" personality has made my back really BAD! I can barely move my right arm the pain is so intense! The pain killers don't even come close to helping either, I've been taking them too long. Wish me luck.......
