Below are some photos of the massive numbers of crows here in Terre Haute. I was reading an article printed about this in a local newspaper yesterday. A faculty member in my department suggests there are over 50,000 crows that are currently roosting in these parts. Unbelievable!!! You usually see mass numbers at dawn and dusk when they fly to and from their roosts. These photos were shot at

Well, here in Terre Haute, it is fairly warm outside. Usually, I would take advantage of days like today and ride. Unfortunately, I have a final to study for, so I'm stuck indoors doing that all day. Oh well, at least I'll be parting ways with this dump of a town shortly. I can't wait to come home to see friends and family. I've been counting down for the last three weeks!!! I was checking out

One of my favorite websites, www.defgrip.com , has a trailer for the new Hoffman Bikes video. Some of the clips feature, Zack Warden, who also rides for Sam and Tree Bikes. That kid is not afraid. Looks to be a great video. Tim Tom

Well, there has been lots happening in my part of the world. First, I moved to Terre Haute, IN to pursue a Master's degree in ecology. Terre Haute is one of the shittiest places I have ever been or lived. It's dirty and has a particular odor to it, a bad odor at that. Another problem is all the homeless folks wandering aimlessly from dumpster to dumpster in the search of aluminum cans and any

Here are a few photos from my trip to SREL . First up is of my buddy Dan. We had to pick him up from this place. This was taken on the trip back to Highlands. He slept like this for almost the entire way up the mountain. If you zoom in close enough, you might see some nose hairs. And yes, this is his facial hair after not shaving for a few weeks.Next up is a pic of a cricket frog on top of a

Well, we went to Savannah, GA for the past couple of days. The ecology lab we visited was awesome, but it was too hot and humid for me to enjoy, not to mention the fact that there were mosquitoes everywhere. The place(SREL) is under heavy protection due to it being a nuclear facility. We had to get our car searched every time we went somewhere new. It was fucking ridiculous, especially the fact

Nothing to exciting going on up here, so here's a silly picture Sam sent me of John and Theo getting some mad hang time!!! I will be leaving shortly to Savannah, GA to the Savannah River Ecology Lab. With any luck I'll have some new photos and stories, possibly of some gators. Kick ass!!!! Tim Tom

Well, it's been some time since I've put up any photos, so here are some from my adventures yesterday. I walked into town to have some photos developed and the first thing I saw was this cat lyeing on the side of the road. The night before I had way to much to drink and was still somewhat drunk on the start of my trek because I started to clap my hands to wake the cat up because I thought it was

DALNothing much had been going on up here. The other day we all went to the grocery store to pick up some food. I ran into this large, Samoan dude that was trying to find some wine. I had no idea what he was talking about, and as soon as I said that he yelled, " Augh, Fuck Man!!!!!". I left immediately. There was also a shopper with a sleeveless confederate flag tee. Awesome.Today, we went to a

After a long haul the Jimmy will finally be able to rest.... I am now the proud owner of 2005 Suzuki Forenza Wagon. After looking for a car for a couple months I finally found the right one. Four doors, tons of cargo space, a roof rack, lots of interior do dads, and a damn good price. Expect to see me driving around with a big smile for awhile.

As you could already tell, I've found out how to post pictures. Here is a funny story from Scott.I was doing a TX horned lizard survey, looking down at the ground and I somehow came upon two peccaries without realizing it. The first one ran away but the other one just stood about sixty feet away. I had not really taken a decent picture of one of these so I set all of my shit down and pulled out

Yo people. I like music. ALOT!!!! So do yourself a favor and buy the latest Pelican album and DDM album. They both kick ass. Pelican is basically the instrumental equivalent of Isis and DDM is in a league of their own. The mountains have been treating me well, but I miss my Ding-A-Lings, girlfriend, and crazy doggy. Hope all is fine and dandy in STL. Love Timma

BDEYesterday turned out to be one of the best days ever. My crew (John and Bill) and I went to the same area to try and catch a hellbender. We searched for a few hours and were about to leave when Skeeter (Bill) spotted one crawling across the streambed. We ran over to it to try and pull it out of the water but it had no intention of leaving. " It just bit me! " Skeeter Peterman screamed as the

CRAPToday is one of my days off, so I will tell you how I spent it. First things first, I work late into the night, sometimes not getting back until 3 a.m. Coming home so early in the morning screws up my entire sleep routine, so I end up waking up at around 11 or 12 later that day. That's exactly what happened today. After showering and eating we made a trip down to a location to catch

Hey everyone, shit's been out of control this last week. At the beginning of the week we sampled for salamanders around an hour away from here for a few days. We ended up staying at a hotel in the nearest town of Franklin, NC. We sometimes hit the place up for cheaper groceries, but that's it. Other than that, the town is complete shit. The last couple of times we've been down there, we went to

Luckily the gay guy rooming upstairs next to us moved out today, because he was a tool. A tool from Princeton. The old fucker has been quite annoying and that's after talking to him for less than 5 min. Time to get drunk and watch the Karate

DRAG Here are some goofy true stories. Last night we had a strange encounter with a fucking huge dragonfly. It was weird because we were doing a population study on this wet rock face on the side of the road at around midnight. It must of been really attracted to our headlamps because it kept flying in our faces. This thing was about the size of a small bird and it was funny to see all of us

MITI've been slacking on writing, but what are you going to do? Lots of salamanders out here, we catch so many, it's ridiculous. Earlier this week we found a great spot for Green salamanders. They are a rare species and federally listed but not yet endangered. I believe they are the only salamanders with green coloration in the U.S. Around here, they are mostly found along large rocky

GARToday we went to an awesome waterfall. The thing is pretty damn huge. I believe it is called secret falls. It's obviously not a secret, but you have to hike quite a ways to get to it. Mountain life is great. We have lots of free time up here, so we usually sit on the porch and drink beer. I love it. Out here in the east a beer is sold out here called Yuengling.

HBSI made it out to the mountains on Wed. night. It's unbelievable out here. We live in Highlands,NC which is on Whiteside Mtn. at an elevation of around 4200 ft. The roads out here are very curvy which makes them dangerous for driving. One wrong move could send you down the mountainside. The views are spectacular and is something that is much more appreciated in person. Salamanders and streams

DOGS This past Friday my dog, Tiger, was mauled by a muskrat. If you don't know what a muskrat is, it a small rodent that lives in streams and lakes. It's similar to a beaver but much smaller. Anyway we went to a park and walked along a short stretch of stream. We came up to one musk rat that dove in the water as soon as it saw us. Tiger was digging a hole near where we saw the first one and

OUI!I ran over my first ever furry animal a couple days ago. It was a squirrel, and it seemed like a race at first. It was running full speed alongside of my car until it decided to make a wrong turn under my tires. I felt a small bump, and when I looked in my rear mirror, it lay there, dead as a doornail. So, this is a shout out to my little squirrel homey from the block. Later little dude,

DAL I've neglected to write any news lately, so here it goes. First, Hardcore decided to join the marines. I have no clue what he's thinking, because there is no doubt in my mind that he will be sent to Iraq. To sign your life away like that is beyond me, especially under the leadership of a complete retard. Hardcore will now be told how to live his life by some high ranking officer. I don't

IIIIts official, Hardcore is a Marine. I'm not too sure what was going on in his head when he made the decision to join but lets just hope it was a good one. He shipped out on Wenesday for 16 weeks of boot camp in San Diego. After that he will be home for 10 days and then..... Lets keep our bloody fingers crossed that he doesn't get shipped over seas. This will definetly help Hardcore on his

D A L Christmas is only a few days away, which means I will be coming to the STL to visit for over a week. The job I have now is my first full time job with no college to get in the way. The worst part about it is that I work for a university yet I still have to work my ass off while all the students and professors have a break. I'm glad to be coming home to visit family and friends and

I officialy hate the cops! Yesterday I was driving home from work and I was talking to bobby big balls on the phone and I got lost so I thought it would be a good idea to turn around in the grass on Highway 255 in the rain. Well my car ended up in the median with 3 feet of water in my car. I was debating on wether to ditch my car or not because I had a warrent out, but then a cop pulled up. A

So yes, I am now the owner of Big Top Skatepark in Belleville, IL. Its about 40 miles from my current home and job but I will be moving out there soon. The park is about 18k square ft with 20 ft ceiling at the center. It has a warehouse

D A L Well, this year's vote did not turn out the way I wanted it and it sucks because it was my first time voting. I was brought up not to trust any politicians, so I was never motivated to do it until we had another Bush serve as our president, but the other candidate wasn't that great either. It was basically voting for the lesser of two assholes. My main concern is the enviroment, so the

D A L Yo, yo. Last Tuesday Casey, Ashley, Tanya, and Jennifer came to Columbia to catch the Faint show playing at the Blue Note. Since I live a few blocks away, I decided to join them. I was definitely impressed with the Faint. I originally thought they would not be as good as they were and truthfully really wanted to catch TV on the Radio anyways. The Faint were loud and sounded great. They had

D A L Hey everyone. I haven't posted anything for a couple of weeks, so here it goes. I will be throwing a Halloween party on the same night as the Bloody Fingers video premiere. All the DAL are invited of course, but that's about all the room I have as far as sleeping arrangements. There will be NO underage girls at the party. That's right, the first DAL to throw a party with mature women.

We (Scott, Katie, Lucas, and myself) all drove down on Sat. afternoon and set up camp at the city park. Then we hit one of the many wineries in town and started to drink, alot. I got a headache right off the bat and had to call it quits. I staggered back to my tent and crashed
