    Safety Wing Review (Updated 2025)

    June 5, 2025 - By 

    Budget travelers love saving money — myself included. But one of the expenses that we shouldn’t be cheap with is travel insurance. After over 17 years of traveling the world, I still never leave home without it. Why? Because I’ve seen firsthand how useful it can be — and how much money it can save. I’ve lost baggage, had my camera broken, and even needed emergency medical help over the years. Travel insurance has been there for me each time. Not only has it saved me money but it’s provided me with peace of mind as I explore. I’ve written…

    Hiking the Sultan’s Trail in Eastern Europe – Stage 1: Vienna to Bratislava

    June 3, 2025 - By 

    As our followers on Facebook already know, we are hiking the 2500-km-long Sultan’s Trail from Vienna to Istanbul. After Coen was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer last summer, we decided that the best remedy to pull ourselves together and reclaim our lives was to walk. Hence this big adventure.

    First Impressions, Changing Habits & What You Desire

    June 1, 2025 - By 

    Humans judge people quickly.  Once they have their read they tend to find ways to support it rather than to be open to the idea their first hit might have been off. You can miss a lot this way. Separate but related, people get in habits with their behavior ,  These habits are hard to change and I mean this in the broadest sense. For example if you act as a decent person and you have for decades, it’ very unlikely you are going to start acting like a jerk unless something goes wrong in your brain. The opposite is…

    How I Became A Bird Spy

    May 30, 2025 - By 

    https://www.lastwordonnothing.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/juncos-2.mp4 Don’t read too much into this, but I have become an obsessive bird spy. I blame LaWONian Ben Goldfarb. He wrote a post about his birdcam (and the board game Wingspan, which I still intend to try), and it made me think that a birdcam would be a great Mother’s Day gift. I consulted with Ben and selected one for Mom. Mom liked the gift well enough (she would never tell me otherwise), but it has attracted mostly rodents and she can’t keep it up all of the year due least she attract the bears in her neighborhood among…

    Anthropologists spotlight human toll of glacier loss

    May 30, 2025 - By 

    In an important contribution from the social sciences, Rice University anthropologists Cymene Howe and Dominic Boyer examine the societal consequences of global glacier loss in a commentary published today in Science. Their article appears alongside new research that estimates that more than three-quarters of the world’s glacier mass could disappear by the end of the century under current climate policies. While the study projects the physical outcomes of glacial melt, Howe and Boyer highlight the social impacts and human stories behind the statistics — from disrupted ecosystems and endangered cultural heritage to funeral rites held for vanished ice. “Often statistics…
