Every time I walk into Book Passage in their Corte Madera (or smaller but hip San Francisco) store I breath in the familiar smell of print books, and wander the isles where I can browse titles and colorful covers. It is a marvel to actually be […]

We have more in common with wild horses than you might think. Wild horse societies have bachelors too.

When we kill mountain lions, wolves, and coyotes we upset the natural balance of nature. Humans tend to want to hunt and kill off predators because they kill cattle, sheep, and chickens belonging to ranchers and farmers; but then we have larger numbers of deer, horses, and […]
