#^&*!@)&!!! YEARS......Had hoped to come up with some clever or thoughtful, insightful or entertaining, way to wrap things up a bit here…. but alas, hasn’t happened, and the near-ridiculous 20-year blogiversary of this site has arrived (the last dozen years of which have felt too-often like walking in frustratedly-repeating, deja-vu-like, and sometimes embarrassing, circles 😕, while a paltry few locales get searched by a very few searchers)! Meanwhile, I need to spend more time on other matters whilst the country I’ve known for 7 decades is being actively dismantled day-by-day, and slip-sliding away before thine eyes... 😟. (My father fought in Europe 80+ years ago so that his son would surely never have to witness this... Go figure!).So the intention is to post little here going forward -- perhaps only if new and genuinely significant/credible evidence (a rare combination), or a major controversy, arises…. Otherwise, for time being, will continue instead to use Facebook for occasionally touching on Ivory-bill matters (but may eventually abandon FB altogether as well), while turning attention elsewhere in these trying days.
Anyway, still hoping (and kinda-sorta-perhaps-maybe-semi-confident) that the needed, genuine, objective, definitive evidence will yet emerge and the Ivory-billed Woodpecker might still have its "Long Live" moment... ;)) Then, the real work and important discussion would begin!
