If information were food, I be morbidly overweight! I devour whatever I can find. I just like learning and am a perpetual asker of "Why and how" questions. These are two of the main questions asked by Ethologists and are firmly based in evolution. I started this quest at an early age...my Mom bought every "Why?" book she could find when I was two. My questions were not about why did she want me to do such & such, but things like "why do birds fly?" and "why is the sky blue?" Fortunately for me, she didn't just answer "because thats the way it is". At age 7, I found a wild pig skeleton and reconstructed it with wire and elmer's glue.
I'm a natural history fanatic. I once drove a semi-truck (18wheeler) across country for a year. I kept my field guides in the rig with me & stop for nature walks in regions unfamiliar to me. Since arriving in Valdez 18 months ago, I have been gorging on Alaska's natural history. Dave, be prepared for lots of questions!!
