The Most Important Survival Skill

Two, what appears to be a redtail hawk at about 1 o'clock in the far horizon. And the rarely seen Blondeous babilicious--We can see here that this particular specimen is of the Gluteus maximus variety.
As for how many species of flora? I'm with Brian..Who cares? :p

Good information. I wish I had something constructive to add other than a 'thank you' to the previous posters.

Bragging... OK, I jealous.:grumpy:

Great post!

'Tis another interesting point.

I recently hiked around Lake Mountain in Victoria and went with my Biz Partner and friend. I found that I was watching the trail so much, as we were moving quicker than I normally walk, that at the end I felt that I missed seeing the area.

I've now come to realise that I probably would cover less ground than others of a similar fitness level just because I like to stop and look at EVERYTHING:o

Hence, why I'm eagerly awaiting Mr. Jones' thoughts on improving awareness.
 
Hy, guys - haven't forgotten. Catching up on life here after helping the family deal with my friend's death. Gotta scan the document and use text recognition, then fix the text recog mistakes and I'll get it posted. By next week for sure, if not sooner!

Best,

~Brian.
