After a bone marrow transplant with dangerously low white cell counts the Doctors told me... Avoid bacteria, fungus, viruses....  

This all forced me to become a bit of a germaphope.  My counts are good now but I continue to be on immune suppression medicine so there still is a risk, and I'm still a bit careful.  I was allowed to take a local flight, (San Diego to Santa Rosa,) for the first time since the transplant last month, it's been over 5 years.

Yet, I've gotta golf.

And I complained about tennis elbow.

I wish you a speedy recovery. If you're coming to the St. Louis area, call ahead and it's golf on me!

A little off-topic, but glamping, luxury camping, especially near National Parks is getting more popular. Biophobic? Bring civilization to nature.

Looks like the tent they had in Harry Potter!

We shouldn't be afraid of nature. Nature should be afraid of us.

I'm not saying it's not true, but the idea of fearing nature... It's just ludicrous to me, I love nature. They seem to come up with new stuff that people can be diagnosed with every day.

That said, I had a pretty awesome experience today with nature. Right behind the school where I work there was a hawk just chilling eating a mouse. He started off facing away but saw a bunch of us gawking at him and started showing off, throwing his mouse in the air and picking it back up.

How anyone could have a fear of nature like that..... Just ridiculous, nature is beautiful.

Nature wasn't so good for the mouse!! :)

The first point, Nat'l Park attendance is in decline, is just wrong. They have set attendance records in each of the last two years. Simple Google search. The same internet explains why kids are indoors.

Yeah I just went to Craters of the Moon, Grand Teton, and Yellowstone national parks about a month ago with my dad... they were packed with people on a Thursday.  I thought these places would be mostly deserted but it turns out people really do go visit this stuff which is cool imo.

Cool, our hawk on the course had a grey squirrel in it's talons when I was arriving at our 9th Green the other day.

Nice picture, much more close up than I was able to get. The ladies here were freaking out hoping that it didn't have one of the bunnies that are frequently seen in the yard.

Birds gotta eat, too. And rabbit tastes good. Then I live out in the country. Sort of.
