Short hike at the Red River Wildlife Refuge with the wife
The wife and I went on a short nature walk at the National Wildlife Refuge in Bossier City, Louisiana. I had just gotten over the flu and was still suffering with laryngitis, but I'd been cooped up so long, I needed the fresh air.
We took a couple of the shorter trails and I shot a little video and took some pictures. Enjoy.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
