National Geographic Day

 


The National Geographic Society was founded in January 1888 for interests in geography, archaeology, and natural science, the promotion of environmental and historical conservation, and the study of world culture and history.  The Society operates the magazine (from which the above photo comes from), TV channels, website, and worldwide events.

I follow a photographer on Instagram, Paul Nicklen.  He began his career in conservation photography, and a lot of his work focuses on marine biology and climate change.  He takes stunning pictures.

The magazine has attained nearly cult status over the years, where even a dog-eared edition is considered a collector's item. The iconic border is simply a frame used by the Society as their logo.

  Science is also serious. You may have heard that a case review is ongoing regarding the safety and science of an abortion pill, called mifepristone, that has been on the market since 2000. It's another attack from antiabortionists who want to restrict others from care and choice for themselves. Of course, the FDA already vetted the drug and numerous studies show the pill is safe and effective. "If courts can go against a whole tremendous amount of scientific evidence, that just doesn't seem right." More Info: Science News News and Politics

 A newer tradition developed from the horrors of certain families, or maybe just the stress of all the preparation, but Hubby and I are ditching all that this year - we're going camping. Perhaps some brandy to help keep us warm.... And I came across a yummy martini recipe: you'll need a pumpkin liquor (the particular one was a whiskey), vanilla vodka, and Irish cream.  Shake 'em up and then add a pinch of cinnamon and/or nutmeg. Be safe, be fed, be thankful. All my love.
