Thanks Oso for following Sarah's wise words and posting those lecture dates.
Like many a snowbird, I can think of worse fates than being "Marooned" in Yuma in February.
To ease my sufferings on the island -- manna from heaven dropped into the sea before me, via Cessna 172.

We went to the El Cajon Library Presentation just a couple of weeks ago and Graham explained it was a simple old golf umbrella cover.
Haven't had a bad trip yet....

Not sure why NPR just mentioned the first show. All three slide presentations definitely scheduled. Something for everyone.
Walking the Baja coastline in the 1980s.
Baja burro breeding his way along mission trail 1990s.
Street dogs Pedro and Penny explore San Pedro Martir, summer 2001
