Discoveries in 2017: Part 2, Back to Belize 2018/01/11 The woeful Weazel was sick as a dog and as thoroughly broken as a suspected Jew on the Grand Inquisitor’s rack; nevertheless, at the beginning of June after less than a month of recuperation I set out for Belize.

Discoveries in 2017: Part 3, Why Guatemala? 2018/01/27 Wherein the crushed and sickly Weazel moves on from friendly little “PeeGee” in southern Belize to Livingston, Guatemala, and from there to the wondrous province of Alta Verapaz, land of the Kekchi Maya.

Discoveries in 2017: Part 4, The Origin of Mankind 2018/02/01 Who are the strange little Maya people, and what do they really think? Thus far you may have dipped a few chips into the guacamole, but the whole enchilada has yet to be served.

Springtime in the South 2018 2018/06/06 Since the dawn of time the Wandering Weazel has undertaken an annual pilgrimage to the underbelly of the South; there to search for serpents, sniff magnolia blossoms, drive down dirt roads, and listen to the languorous drawl of those who still cling to a much maligned yet noble way of life.

Hamadryad 2019/03/12 In which Weazel travels to Java to meet the king of serpents!

Peru 1: The wretched coastal desert 2019/04/2 The first of a series of adventures in Peru.

Glorious combat, man against nature for nature’s benefit! 2019/11/16 In which I sell Florida swampland to a Yankee.

Fun things to do with a broken back! 2019/12/23 Beelzebub may have broken my back as I attempted to bugger his bunghole, but that didn't slow me down!

Country roads take me home… 2019/12/29 …to the place I belong. West Virginia!

Blackberry winter in the Cumberland plateau, Part 1: Georgia 2021/06/12 Having been thoroughly jabbulated against the plague, the Weazel and Dr. Ann set out on a late springtime trip to the southern Cumberland plateau which extends throughout much of Tennessee, then into adjacent Georgia and Alabama.

Blackberry winter in the Cumberland plateau, Part 2: Tennessee 2021/06/23 After a delightful but chilly sojourn in northwestern Georgia we headed to Tennessee to join friends high atop Jumpoff mountain near the scenic little town of Sewanee, home to the beautiful University of the South.

Blackberry winter in the Cumberland plateau, Part 3: Alabama and Georgia 2021/08/23 By late May the brief Blackberry winter we had enjoyed atop the Cumberland plateau had given way to sweltering summer in the lower latitudes, by which I mean just over the Alabama line.
