Bird Year is over but Malkolm is cycling on! He is now cycling from Whitehorse to Ottawa as a part of "Pedal for the Planet." He will ask the Canadian Government to become a leader in the struggle to come to grips with climate change. (http://kyotoplus.ca/pedal/)
Malkolm is now 17 and just finished Grade 11. On June 21, 2008 Malkolm Boothroyd completed his year-long, fossil-fuel-free journey in search of birds. He cycled a total of 13,133 miles (21,144 km), Malkolm identified 548 different bird species and raised more than $25,000 for bird conservation.

Wilting (Wendy)


The flashing sign outside Texas Bank says it is 103 . The Weather Channel says it is 97 but the “heat index” is 109 . Is heat index like the opposite of wind chill?

We are sheltering inside Budget Hotel. The fan is turned on high.

We are making plans to try and get safely through southern Texas. If any of you live along the southern Rio Grande, or along the Del Rio to Marathon highway, please let us know if we could get water, or cold showers, at your place!

Special message to our friends who have joined us on our travels: Sa, Kirsten, Polly, Sam, Rachel and Christianne. Ken’s cutting edge technology - thick shirt wrap – kept our bottle of beer COLD today!
