We’re Alive Again

Welcome to the new and improved Bobrat website. We’ve reorganized and redesigned the site, and we’re planning to start posting updates here again. Stay tuned!

We haven’t gotten every last thing sorted out yet, so there’s still a bit of housekeeping to do. Please leave us a comment if you see something amiss.

Postscript: We want to say “thanks” to the nice fellow who introduced himself at the Snow Lake trailhead the other day. Finding out that we had a fan out there was the inspiration we needed to kick this project back into gear. Thanks!

Plus, our Flickr site has a bunch more photos of other outings: the Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Island, Carkeek Park, Sam’s first trip to a swimming pool, and — the creme de la creme — Sam wearing an electrode hat. (He participated in a cognitive science study at the University of Washington.)
