The narrative after that is gripping but the nature notes are indispensable for scene-setting and general greatness.

You should go. Just, you know, WEAR A LAB COAT. Sling a stethoscope around your neck. Carry a beaker full of burbling fluid….

I know! Einstein wigs all around!

I was all over that – happily excited about biodiversity and thinking, “we are SO going to Southeastern AZ in the spring…” when you just HAD to keep on writing.

Undocumented Border Patrol “Volunteers.” Great. just great.

(I have read about, whilst on the Internet, spitting upon one’s keyboard. This made me do that: “huge beetles shot out of the night and flew plonk into the sheets.”) I did want to say, though, that all that stuff can be seen on teevee, you know.
The second half was a downer. Beautifully set up.
Thanks.
