The Digital Age……
I live in a small Southern suburban apartment
and it could be wiped off its hilltop by a hurricane
and I wouldn't care. It's just where I sleep
and keep my stuff. I would miss the heirlooms
and library of poetry books
but my home is this laptop. Booting up,
is like inserting the key to the front door,
icons arranged on the desktop with Feng Shui,
data arrayed in tidy directories.
Technically, since I upgrade the hardware
every few years, the laptop is just the house
and the data is my real home.
I don't live in the clouds
but my backups do.

From The RSPB….
“Berwick Bank
An enormous wind farm is proposed off the East coast of Scotland. We believe this development will have a serious impact on our already struggling seabird populations.
The latest Hen Harrier survey has revealed a mixed picture in Scotland. Some populations are increasing, others have declined, often in areas managed for driven grouse shooting.
Squirrelpox near Dunfermline
Sadly, the first Red Squirrel to die from the squirrelpox virus north of the central belt has been confirmed. This is deeply concerning news, and could have serious implications for the future of Scotland’s Red Squirrels.
What to do if you live in the area
Now you've seen the Big Garden Birdwatch scores, how much do you really know about the seventh most common bird in Scotland's gardens? “
