From Sand to Sea and Back - Solomon Islands Sea Turtles 

We have seen many turtle nests on the NC coast.  If you vacation on the coast and see a nest, please only look with your eyes and then let it be.  These little fellas have enough challenges getting to the water after they hatch.  Better yet, see if the local preservation society needs any help around hatching time.  We have family who regularly "turtle sit" and help protect these beautiful creatures as they make their way to the ocean.  It's magical!

Michael Pollan on the Colbert Report

This is a hilarious interview, but what else would you expect from The Colbert Report?  I'm looking forward to reading Michael Pollan's new book:  Cooked.  If you get to it before I do (and you might, I'm working on several books right now), I'd love to hear your thoughts.  Please feel free to comment.
