http://robinsruralrides.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
On travel, dogs, railroads, beer, birds, music, history, Carlisle, biology, football. Occasional rants. Sunday, April 3, 2011. A walk in the woods. No, this is not a reference to Bill Bryson's interesting book on the Appalachian trail (AT). Speaking of which, our bridge friend Bob McCaw is out hiking the AT again (! You can keep track of his progress with his Trail Journal. In a larger map. Switching tack now. I've never been a fan of the humble parsnip. I've always loved its relative the carrot but ther...

On travel, dogs, railroads, beer, birds, music, history, Carlisle, biology, football. Occasional rants. Wednesday, March 27, 2013. License: http:/ creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en). Well, I know it's been a long time. The topic that has prompted me to resume my electronic pen is the "Carlisle Fieldfare.". What is a fieldfare, some of you may be asking? It's a large Eurasian thrush that hoves to this side of the pond about once every 35 years or so. Here is the Wikipedia entry. Judging from the...

Robin's Rural Rides: Memories of Pixie
http://robinsruralrides.blogspot.com/2013/07/memories-of-pixie.html
On travel, dogs, railroads, beer, birds, music, history, Carlisle, biology, football. Occasional rants. Sunday, July 21, 2013. This is Kim, a guest contributor to Robin's Rural Rides. Both of us have been really saddened by the loss of our dear Chihuahua, Pixie, two weeks ago today. As Robin said, "There was an enormous amount of character, loyalty, and affection in that little body of hers. We are really going to miss her.". Pixie was full of life and personality. She greeted us with furious tail wa...

Robin's Rural Rides: Sudden Hearing Loss
http://robinsruralrides.blogspot.com/2014/03/sudden-hearing-loss.html
On travel, dogs, railroads, beer, birds, music, history, Carlisle, biology, football. Occasional rants. Wednesday, March 5, 2014. This is Kim once again, "guest blogging" with an unfortunate new development in my life. I have learned this week why it’s such a good thing that our bodies evolved with so many redundancies: two ears, eyes, limbs, etc. When you lose one, you still have the other! When those symptoms are present too. Sometimes one just gets unlucky, and that seems to have been my fate. Thanks ...

On travel, dogs, railroads, beer, birds, music, history, Carlisle, biology, football. Occasional rants. Friday, October 21, 2011. Robin's Rural Red Ride. Having been a BMW owner for the last 15 years or so, I had to struggle with myself not to buy another one. They're wonderful cars to drive and the first 60,000 miles are true Fahrvergnügen. I really do. Not only have I actually visited the original Subaru (Fuji Heavy Industries) in Japan, but the Legacy is actually made here in Indiana. Subscribe to: Po...

On travel, dogs, railroads, beer, birds, music, history, Carlisle, biology, football. Occasional rants. Friday, December 9, 2011. Daddy is a pure white mix of who knows what kind of dog who also happens to be deaf. But it in no way spoils his fun as he's a huge fan of playing, people and pooches. He's a lovely, friendly, playful dog. On Sunday, we will be handing him over to his adopters who live in New Jersey. Here's the story, taken from the PetFinder web site:. Isn't it a great story?

Robin's Rural Rides: Just another Tuesday
http://robinsruralrides.blogspot.com/2012/11/just-another-tuesday.html
On travel, dogs, railroads, beer, birds, music, history, Carlisle, biology, football. Occasional rants. Monday, November 5, 2012. It's the eve of the 2012 election, as well as the 407th anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot, and I have a few thoughts to share. Nothing very amazing but I've taken a lot more interest in this election than in most previous elections. Why is that? The court is supposed to be non-partisan? Tell that to Al Gore. I could go on and on. I feel strongly that the opponents of the mains...
