This is Mac’s “ it’s Sunday so we’re going to get a pup cup, right?” Face.
We adopted him as an adult. I sometimes think his previous owners were Jedis because he often stares at you like he’s trying to perform the Jedi mind trick to get what he wants.
It worked this time. We got the pup cup.

We went to the bookstore to let my son browse, and I wound up getting a book of my own!

Had not seen this book before. Thanks to the Quarterly Review of Biology for putting it on my radar.
FYI, I was expecting a compilation of papers like in Foundations of Ecology. This is a summary of classic papers, does not include actual reprints, but still looking forward to reviewing selection.

Fortunately, it’s still a good while until my son can apply for his driving learner’s permit. The doll was OK. Have a good weekend and be safe everyone!

Wife sent me this phone picture of a buck and doe in our marsh today. We see lots of deer, but it’s uncommon to see bucks in our area.

A coyote strolled by when I was walking Mac and Scout last night. Then it popped up in the backyard shortly after. Feel like it followed us! Good thing Mac and Scout are both around 70lbs and only go out with me or I might get a little nervous!

Good size cedar beetle on campus. These apparently parasitize cicadas.
