Earlier this week I was back out at Babcock Wilderness Adventures in Punta Gorda, Florida, for a meeting which included a tour of the working cattle ranch and Telegraph Swamp.

During the trip to Western New York and Pennsylvania over the weekend I didn’t get to see any Amish folks or any evidence they exist (despite being told “they’re everywhere”) but I did get see this potentially massive storm.

They offer puppy hugging on Saturdays but I was in luck today. This sweet little guy, […]
