Ms. Rachel Carson’s birthday is this Saturday, the 27th. However, YIR will be away that day, so We are mentioning it now.

Ms. Carson did a great deal to raise awareness of the chemical pollution of pesticides and the toll of unrestricted industrial activity on the environment. What critter would not be grateful to her?

Well, all right; not every critter is sensible. Even Rhinos have the occasional Loose Screw.
