Putting Out the "Gone Fishin'" Sign

blog's hiatus / new direction (probably and maybe)

The Antelope College Blog started a few years ago, when the usual author (me, Charles Hood) reported from Antarctica, when I was on a research grant with the National Science Foundation.

For all of June, the "gone fishin'" sign will be out.


Several reasons for this. In my case, I will be in Tibet all month and am not checking email nor phone messages. I will be off the grid as completely as possible. Among other species, I look forward to seeing of my favorite birds, the Hoopoe. Of course, at 16,000 feet, I will be panting so hard I probably won't be able to hold my binoculars steady.


Separate from that, it may be time for a new look / new direction for the AVC blog. Starting in July, a new Public Information Officer will start work at the college, and so perhaps there will be an overhaul to many public faces of Antelope Valley College. Perhaps not --- I am not suggesting there will be something big and dramatic happening --- but perhaps so, if whoever it is has a new vision for how this space can be used.

Until then, keep your powder dry and your canoes pointed downstream.

See everybody in July.
