Fly

by Wayne Mumford March 1, 2010

In my dreams, and there only…
It’s just that first step.
Last June, for my birthday it was suggested I do a tandem skydiving jump. I’ve always kind of thought I might like to try it and I actually talked about it some-but, when it came right down to it; I chickened out.
There was also the cheap [...]

Valentines Day is coming…

Ok, I’m busy hatching an ingenious disingenuous plot here, but first some background. I was just recently blabbing about the Canon G series cameras, namely my old Canon G9 and the newer Canon G11. Good, durable cameras at a pretty decent price for what you are getting. They only have one big problem, they can’t [...]

Canon G10, Canon G11 update

by Wayne Mumford January 22, 2010

As with all electronic gadgetry these days it’s a never ending parade of innovation, upgrades and hype. In the early days of conspicuous consumption and “keeping up with the Jones’” it was just cars, lawnmowers, and the house; now its iphones, blackberries, gamestations, big screen TV’s and countless other electronic distractions as well.
And well yes, [...]

After dinner on Sunday evening we sat down to watch a show, actually more of a documentary called Food Inc.  After watching the show I wouldn’t recommend this for after dinner fodder if you have weak innards. In fact if you are planning on going on a diet this show will get you off to [...]

by Wayne Mumford December 3, 2009

The weather in western Montana has been about as flaky as it gets since the middle of the fall. October started out with a cold snap that set records for low temperatures.

I’m really not much of a big game hunter and definitely not a horn or trophy hunter. My idea of hunting is much more culinary in nature, shoot the first legal size animal that comes along that’s in good shape and head home to more pressing (fishing type) matters. Pretty much opposite my approach to [...]

The dawn of fishing?

by Wayne Mumford July 23, 2009

Even the denizens on a nearby branch of our presumed common evolutionary tree are apparently in the early stages of developing sport fishing. This Orangutan was photographed in Borneo attempting to spear fish in a river after observing the local natives in their fishing endeavors.
I assume this chap was fishing for sport or at least [...]

Voices We Shall Never Hear, Leandro Blanco

by Wayne Mumford May 30, 2009

Film by Leandro Blanco.
“We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature, and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their [...]
