Yeah, about 90% sure.

UPDATE: This critter is actually a young Ant Damsel Bug (Himacerus mirmicoides).

It Ain’t Easy Bein’ a Duck ’round Here

Duck at the Dam

This afternoon, while taking a break from writing code, I watched a young duck mis-judge the current and get swept over the Sixth Street Bridge dam. Fortunately, ducks are quite buoyant and this one made it to safety after a minute of being tumbled about in the turbulence at the base of the dam.

Just When…

2008-05-31 John Winkelman

Just when you thought the world was going to Hell in a handbasket – American economy is tanking, more than the usual number of middle-east quagmires, gas prices skyrocketing – you see something so out-of-this-world amazing that you think maybe, just maybe, there is some hope for our species after all.

I’m talking about this.

An excellent use of a government bribe, if I do say so myself.

The Weekly Avocados, week 5

Three Avocados

Here they are, in all their glory. The oldest one is in the middle. It should have the beginnings of leaves in another week or so.
