Was Thanos Right About Saving Earth?. Top Story - May 2021.
The most memorable antagonists are the ones that make you reconsider your position on an issue. They are not evil for evil's sake but operate from a moral compass that, while unpopular, is entirely understandable and at least partially agreeable. In this regard, Thanos stands out. If you are unfamiliar with the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Thanos (huge purple dude, weird chin) is an overarching villain who first makes an appearance in the first Avengers movie in a post-credits scene. His presence remains enigmatic as the heroes move from film to film, but as the universe expands, the audience is able to piece together little nuggets of information about him.

Nature Diary
Killdeer used to nest along our long gravel driveway to the farmhouse. Coming home from school in the afternoon, I would see the Killdeer, with their scurrying steps and bobbing heads, darting here and there in front of me as I walked in from the road. In spring, at nesting season, these birds would put on a clever display. As you approached, if there were a nest nearby, the parent Killdeer would hurry in front of you then fake an injury like a World Cup footballer trying to get a penalty kick.

LOOK WHO CAME FOR DINNER!
I am an animal lover and deer are no exception. Deer eating the apples I put out for them is a common sight in my front yard. I took this picture from the window of my house. One of the deer caught me taking the picture because it is looking right at my phone, which is how I take pictures. It is almost as if it is saying to me “You know, you are interrupting our meal!" I know many people all over the country have deer in their yards. This is nothing out of the ordinary. I live in Pennsylvania right below a wooded area so I see deer all the time all year long. I have been lucky enough to see this sight my entire life and it never gets old. They are such beautiful animals. In fact, I feel guilty if I don't have something in the yard for them to eat every day.

Water. Top Story - May 2021.
It’s raining today. Don’t ask me why, I just want it to continue. I live in Tasmania on two-hundred-acres of virgin bush. The wildlife frolic freely here, no hunters allowed, and even the vermin can make you smile, but the rain, the rain never came when the tanks were empty. It never came when the lake dried up. It never came when my mouth craved its cool wet intrusion. Yes, in Tasmania, the rain never came, but it is here today.

The Ocean’s Dark Truths
My true identity is within these four. Dedicated to the life of the oceans; the Pacific, the Atlantic, the Indian, and... the Arctic. We are one body yet have been divided by land by a natural instinct of what the world decided for itself. Now due to the progression of how deep the oceans limits are... well we all remain carefree and slightly careless. I’m here to say that I can always feel the waves rush when the waters ache for relief. The jealousy of being pure when our friends the lakes, rivers, and ponds are full of pollution. The waves are the waters way of acting up and it’s beautiful but I believe that human beings detest the matter behind the oceans dark truths.

Where's Your Toe?. Top Story - May 2021.
Shopping for Shoes If there is one thing I absolutely, positively, 100% can’t stand to do, it’s buy new shoes. I don’t know why, but the thought of walking into a Target and heading for the shoe section makes my heartbeat rise and my palms sweaty. I must have had some kind of bad experience as a kid which I’ve since blocked out of my memory. Probably waiting endlessly for my picky older brother to decide on a pair that he liked. When I do buy new shoes these days, which is never more often than once a year, I grab the first pair that is 9 ½ and buy it. I definitely do not try them on. My mom’s standing over my shoulder in my mind’s eye: “Try these on Eric. Try this pair. Oh, how about this pair? Test it, Eric. Walk around a bit. No, farther than that. Where’s your toe? Is that your toe? Are you sure? Where’s your toe?”
