I'm really into lichen.

In the burbs with my pets and garden, trying to keep up.

Ignorance is not bliss--it's the bludgeon used by sociopaths to destroy everything that makes your life peaceful and prosperous.
John Steinbeck's The Moon Is Down. They've been reading Hitler and other despots, so we have to study up on how they rallied together to fight fascism. And they won.

It's a long fight. We need to get busy.

There is probably black lichen, too. :)

This was a small outcrop, but it was the only place to pull over. A mile or so northwest there is a mile or so of basalt outcrop covered with these brilliant lichen. :)

Google street view is all in the fall, when the lichen is dry. It's worth a spring drive.

Good listen. Paticularly enjoyed the Steinbeck intro essay.

My cat wakes me up 3 times a night at least because apparently she believes I will sleep better if she walks on my head to get to the other side of the bed.

She also hates the food I bought that isn't the paté because they were out so she's been complaining, loudly and often.

Feel better?

Do not pretend that broody hen will change her mind just because she was super unsuccessful for the first month and you kept taking away her eggs. She knows you are often away, and she will just keep busy until you get distracted (for 3 weeks).

Kimchi lentil soup. Yum.

Like cloudy water? Or did you mean turgid, I.e. filled with fluid, metric turgor pressure?

Oh, and algae.

After all, how can I use oogonium in a sentence without a Volvox colony?

Yum.
