Found it! This is both one of my favorite photos of me and one of the most troubling. Bright Angel Trail, October 1992. People were feeding her M&Ms.

   Hey, I used to wear one of those dorktastic hats! But mine was in camo, so the tortoises couldn’t see me coming.
   Jesus…M&Ms;?

   Well hell, how else is a wild mammal without opposable thumbs or a pocket for change going to get M&Ms;?

   Reese’s Pieces, off-thread comment:

   Given the CRN community, I surely was the last to watch the Clay Shirky speech posted at Making Light:  http://nielsenhayden.com/makinglight/archives/010186.html#010186

   Shirky terms the creation of free on-line content as a “vast civic surplus.” I recently had occasion to review the entire CRN archive, when my nfp BREAD FOR THE HEAD commissioned a CRN podcast. Shirky’s description nails (pins gently to a display board?) what Chris has produced here: a public good.

   BREAD’s commission will have Chris read some extant pieces, to inspire kids during a summer nature/science day camp. It will be an attainable luxury for my kids, who live in areas not readily amenable to author visits. 

   I cannot imagine, however, that CRN podcasts would not enliven children/young adult programs anywhere, whether focused on nature/environment or writing itself. I hope that anyone else aware of such programs considers/advocates/makes similar commissions.

   Remember: all of your dollars otherwise will be spent accruing frequent flier miles for the Gitmo port-a-court.
