This is my oh-so humble contribution to the blogosphere. My wife and I moved from West Texas to Waitakere New Zealand, because we were becoming content with the routine of life and that scared the Hell out of us. This blog updates friends and family at home. I also write what occurs to me when I feel like it. If it appears that the blog has Multiple Personality Disorder, it does. My wife and I both contribute.

There were birds -- including the largest birds anywhere in the world, the Giant Moa (now extinct). There was also a penguin as big as Mindy (now extinct). There were no mammals on new zealand except for bats prior to settlement by the Maori 800 years ago.
