comment:

I thought the juxtaposition of these two posts was curious, coming at the same moment as they did. I suspect that people use my expertise surreptitiously, but I try not to think about it all that much. For me, it's the excitement of finding things out that moves me. Granted, there are many things that simply don't interest me. Such is an autodidact.

Recently, I compiled a bibliography of articles written by Charlie Mraz. I was quite surprised how many I found in print that were NOT referenced anywhere online. Meanwhile, there is a new book out that compiles everything written about bees in America or by Americans (in the sense the author uses it).
