Busy day: first, Martes and I tried to join the docent tour of the burnt-out Towsley Canyon, but they were completely full! At least that's good in number of people interested in such nature-y things. Talking to the nice docent we learned that growth is indeed making a comeback and that the unfortunate critters they've found (charred carcasses) included one deer, some smaller animals (raccoons, possums) and one bobcat (sad). No coyotes were mentioned, possibly supporting their wiley reputation.

Then a quick trip to Loscon, a large local science fiction con. They often have a number of media guests (Joe Straczynsky used to hold court there when Babylon 5 was big). The dealer's room is decent-sized and has a very good mix (eclectic and traditional) of stuff to buy. Had just enough time to touch bases with a number of people before zooming off to see the film reviewed in my next post...
