Here's a reintroduction thread because it feels like the right time for one. Here's me, my spousal unit Jennie, and the chef statue at Gelsosomo's pizza in Chesterton, IN. We are NOT a throuple - don't believe every cockamamie rumor you read.

Thinking about Christmas presents? Maybe you want to get a book of little paper figures from a classic work of literature for the reader in your life!

A lonely Kosmoceratops wades through the waters of the marshy Kaiparowits jungle. Also making an appearance: a pair of Mirarce and somewhat hidden Alphadon. #artadventcalendar

My Uncle David was my favorite uncle, and if he was still with us I'm sure that never would have changed. I think he *got* me before I got myself.

My Uncle Jimmy was infected in first wave of HIV/AIDS in the 80s. I was just a kid. I can barely remember him. He was fun, and funny, and played honky tonk piano. He was a Vietnam vet. He bought me LEGOs. :) I can remember his laugh.

I miss him.

Fatal attraction: Electric charge connects jumping worm to aerial prey
A tiny worm that leaps high into the air — up to 25 times its body length — to attach to flying insects uses static electricity to perform this astounding feat, Emory physicists have found.

"small business" is such a funny term bc in it you have like a bunch of little gremlin artists fighting over a dollar and then also a guy who owns every tire store in a tri-city area and they are both like "im a small business"
