Two new editions of my work in print and electronic media have recently been published. For those seeking general social critique and commentary, the latest edition of my newspaper column From Under My Hat is now viewable on the website of the South County Spotlight. I hope readers with find it both timely and thought-provoking. In addition, naturalists of all stripes and outdoor enthusiasts who use binoculars or spotting scopes in their activities may find my most recent article on The Binocular Site explaining of some of the many and often confusing types of lens coatings used in the production of those products enlightening.
