Snow, Roads, Birds and Plows blog by B Nimri Aziz Jan. 31/19
Shrugging off what’s called cabin fever, I depart, slowly, to test my car and traction on the roadway. I follow the country road along the Beaverkill River to town. A mile out, I notice something unusual—cars standing in front of each of two neighbors’ houses. I regularly pass these houses. I know that their owners ...
The Phrase of Doom
There is a phrase often used, and it has become all too accepted a phrase.

Getting Out The Vote–Field Notes by BNimri Aziz
There’s a big push underway- it appears to be primarily a Democrat plan-- for GOTV. GOTV is not a videogame; it’s the acronym of Get-Out-The-Vote.

My editor at Natural History Magazine once remarked how, whenever their cover features a bear, sales rise.

Occasional attacks on humans and the aversion of many people to any form of wildlife hunting notwithstanding, ...

For Those Of Us Who Believe by BNimri Aziz Sept 30/18
For those of us who watched with innocence, then passion, then consternation, the results of the 1991 senate hearing for supreme court nominee Clarence Thomas; for those who championed film stars, then ordinary women daring, finally, to call out Harvey Weinstein and a stream of male predators; for those who watched with confidence the rise ...
How Many More Women Are There? by BN Aziz
Sept 23/18 How many more women await our discoveries?
