Wow! I hadnt realized I'd made almost 6000 posts in ten years. Now I have seperated them into folders. At first I wondered how many folders I would make, but within half an hour I had made 11. I still wondered how many more I would make but in the end I still had 11. They are: Astronomy, California, Cultural, Fun, Geo, History, Horticulture, Mars, Moon, Nat.Hist., Plants.
I am going to make more subfolders for Trees, Flight, Yosemite....
This will take a lot of time. I now realize that no one needs to keep all of their posts, especially ones that are no longer relavant, ones that were contemporary news, ones that were just for fun, ones that I posted just to post, ones that dont show up on g/e anymore because the frame has been updated (lone person walking on dirt road), etc. etc. etc. .... So I am going to delete many of them. In the end I will have a few or several hundred that I will keep.

March: I mean why save a bunch of kmz files of postmarks when its all availble online or in books? I eleminated most of mine and am saving folders that I formulated - Giant sequoia Distribution; Unique Aspects of Mountains; etc.
I completely eliminsted all my astronomy files as I have hundreds of astronomy images saved to My Pictures.
I'm a self taught naturalist with many years experience in research and field study. I've been published a dozen times.
In my area near San Francisco are to be found many arboreta and historic sites, which helped foster my interest in plants, especially trees. I’ve seen and am familiar with many species of plants. I was a construction worker for Lord and Burnham Greenhouse Company and also worked at nurseries, and the produce market, and when I was a ground man for tree companies I learned to recognize and identify many tree species. I have read about and studied trees. I’ve been fortunate to have lived in Niles (once a central point for west coast horticulture) and been able to visit Shinn Park and Meek Estate numerous times, as well as Golden Gate Park, Hayward Library Plaza, and John Muir Historic Home Site, and the experiences I had in the greenhouse, nursery, and produce businesses. All have given me a unique perspective on some history of horticulture.
