[RC] 'tree hugging' and endurance - Spottedracer

Guess since I've finished all my academics for my Bio degree - have 2 classes 
left for my Chem degree...... And have been corraled by an old Mentor into 
working on a research team project which is taking Environmental/ecological 
studies - and converting them into a format for teachers to utilize in the 
classroom.... I could probably be considered a 'tree hugger'. (Though I usually 
vote for middle-of-the-fence politicians, regardless of 'party')

This said, Endurance riding for ME (as a biologist/chemist intensely interested 
in ecological research) is truly a part of my 'study'.. I've been known to 
excitedly stop my horse from a full gallop - just to jump off and look at some 
plant/fungi/animal - that I've previously ONLY seen in a book! And if I can't 
figure out what it is - I go home and research until I can name it. (Cheryl - 
remember those weird Morrels?)

Maybe I'm strange - since I strive to observe nature as much as I'm striving to 
complete the ride on time... But even in my own state - there's so many 
different species to see! BSF has species you don't see at LBL - which has 
species you don't see much at Natchez Trace......

BTW - as a 'Tree Hugger'.. any of you notice that the new '07 Diesel engines 
CANNOT run on Biodiesel?
