My dear friends Roseann and Jonathan Hanson, writers, scholars, adventurers, Arizonans, Africanists, connoisseurs of the good life, have (re)started a blog, The Constant Apprentice. I have the highest expectations. Here are a few images of them from my own files… I will let them explain the saber toothed skunk puppet…

One more from Cap’n Rick
Whale breeching near tuna boat. Rick: “I have hours of whale videos and every day we go for tuna it’s a spectacular whale show. Here’s a pic I took– when the whale landed everyone in the boat got soaked!”
Big Fish
Cap’n Rick Rozen, one of my oldest friends and a sport AND professional fisherman (charters, tuna), is up from Costa Rica to go after big bluefins off the Mass coast. He is already having some success (that is him at the top); seeing whales too. Rick is one of my few high school friends who …
“Dirtwinger” videos
Warren Spencer, seen here at the wedding below, has been putting up videos of our falcon- tazi- lurcher teams at “Dirtwinger”. Most if not all dogs here bred by us or “granddogs” of our stock… Here are two of them of Warren’s breeding (we own all grandparents) with Terence’s late Gyr- Prairie tiercel Cog on …
Karen Wetherill & Terence Wright Wedding
A brilliant, beautiful entomologist, reigning expert on the wild bees of NM… …marries a longdogger… … and a fine celebration follows. One amazing thing was the amount of “dog relatives”– I think everyone in the photos but one has a descendant of our hounds, plus many others present–!

More old photos: shooting with Father B
This one is pure fun: with Father Anderson Bakewell SJ, shooting his latest acquisition from Champlin Arms, a scoped drilling in 16 X 16 over 7 X 57 JRS, the rimmed version of the 7 X 57, at the Magdalena range in, I think, 1988. Not quite as cool as his .416 Rigby. A Brit …
Night Out: Open Range
Our social life is limited when we are busy and broke, and with two books in the air you can bet we are both! So it was a treat when Libby’s friend and former employee Linda Hausler got in touch to tell us that her and her husband Ric Steinke’s old- time cowboy band, Open …
Quote & visit (or visit & quote?)
Mark Churchill and his friend Jessica blew through with the wind this weekend, and a good time was had by all. Which of course made me check his blog Flyover Country, where I discovered photos, hawking, links and the following absolutely true quote, from Jessica: “God made Australia so that most of the world’s most …
