Rats, now I know why the gnats and other bugs have been so insanely bad this year in the midwest - and to rub it in, I can’t take my daughter spelunking because they are closing down most anything relating to visiting caves to try to stem the fungus.

No other crisis in recent memory has had such a profound impact on my life.

Will no one save us?

Jeez, in Austin 3 weeks ago we watched 1.5 million bats fly out from under the Congress Avenue bridge at dusk. Doesn’t look like there’s a problem in Central Texas...

Have you ever see the bat colony under the IH 35 bridge at McNeil? I've heard it is larger than the Congress Av. Bridge, but not advertised because of the traffic mess that would result. We saw them when we were coming home at dusk and that cloud stretched for miles.

Oh. Yes, it’s pretty buggy up in that neck of the woods.

We did that 2 years ago - I think it’s more impressive than the Congress Ave colony. They just seem to keep coming for hours. Of course, the visit to the Pedernales Cellars winery beforehand might have had something to do with that...

The demise of evolution has been predicted for more than 120 years. Like the end of the world...

Great story. From lightbulbs to windfarms, the list of unintended consequences from “Green Energy” continue to pile up.

hummers are up a bunch

I was going to say that too. We have all kinds of humming birds this year. They fight amongst themselves a lot. It is fun to watch.

I've found C2CAM very boring for well over a year. I've said before that the Art Bell replays on Saturday nights put the current shows to shame.

The current program needs to cut back on the frequency of unverifiable topics and guests.

Some of the put-on artists that Art had were great. Mel's Hole was a great "story". The guy that "flew" (or tried to "fly") over Area 51 was great radio.

In his prime, Art would challenge, and ask real questions of say, environmentalists and anarchists, and other posers.

Noory and some of the other hosts, including Bell, no longer do that.

Noory getting punked by the shysters ripping people off with capturing Big Foot, only to have a "worker" let it go before "they" could get blood and hair samples, and but after they conned people into buying webcam subscriptions from the "hunt" was reminiscent of Tim Conway on Night Court, except that it didn't cost viewers a subscription...
