The rains rain upon the plains--and upon everything else as well. Managed to slip in my daily walk this afternoon when there was a lull in the liquids.

About 100 pages away from reading the entire Goodall book (it has 685 pages of narrative). Quite a book! Quite a person! She accomplished an incredible amount (research, writing, teaching, family, films, administrative chores, and much more) even though she was plagued by illnesses and setbacks. Inspiring!

Makes me question what I've done, am doing--besides watching the rains fall.

She was in this area quite a bit in the late 60's and 70's as a professor at Stanford. She lived in several places here in PA. I don't recall hearing anything about her back then. She touched a lot of people's lives at that time--especially the graduate students who went and worked at her research center.

Well, the rains keep falling and I keep reading--and then what? Let me know!
