I don’t want to give the impression that today belonged to a single #butterfly species, because there were quite a few. However there were hundreds of Ringlets in my first foray into Los Penasquitos Preserve. Predictably so, since grassy expanses were dominant in the first half of the hike.

What a magnificent day for #butterflies. My only beef was that I didn’t get more time. Nothing I hadn’t seen before, but a huge variety nonetheless. Many Whites, many Hairstreaks, many Cloaks, and even many Admirals. But many many many Blues!

@bmacDonald94 But when you frame it that way, you’re backed into a corner. Just leave “evil” out of it and simply chose from the lot.

Every apple in the barrel has its flaws, but you still need to pick one.

@Npars01 @Blinxeto @samhenrigold I can’t count the number of conversations I had in 2020 explaining how the red state governments were covering up massive numbers of Covid deaths. Texas and Florida in particular. CNN went right along with their bogus numbers, even though their case/death ratios were obviously completely bogus. Recall that DeSantis fired his statistician, told lies, and even threatened to have her arrested for trying to get the truth out.

@hj Expect the unexpected!

@lowqualityfacts "Fishy?" Gotta be a nickname! I call my cat, whose name is formally "Sebastian," Sea Bass, Maestro, Little Man, and Buddy (among others). #caturday

@WarnerCrocker All #SCOTUS needed to do was stay out of it. The appeals court ruling was was more than adequate. But they couldn't even do that.

@hembrow @CelloMomOnCars @breadandcircuses Are they marketed here in the usa?

@godofbiscuits @CelloMomOnCars @hembrow @breadandcircuses I think the goal here is a personal transportation vehicle that weighs 12 lbs and runs primarily on leg power. 😬

@matthewtoad43 @empiricism @godofbiscuits @CelloMomOnCars @hembrow @breadandcircuses The best thing that could happen right now is for petroleum/coal to become suddenly and irreversibly unobtainable. We would be forced into reliance on natural electricity production, ethanol, and animal power. It wouldn’t support 10 billion but it would support 100 million.

@CStamp @matthewtoad43 @empiricism @godofbiscuits @CelloMomOnCars @hembrow @breadandcircuses Yes, it would. But I think the time for “gradual” is in the rear view mirror. We’re already committed to what is coming. Once sea level rise “mobilizes” 10-20 percent of the population it’s all over. A good 80 percent of petroleum distillers will be under water.
We gotta stop now.

@goatsarah @Holberg I remember once during summer field geology our cook made spaghetti and the recipe called for 5 cloves of garlic. Being a student and a newbie cook, he thought they meant 5 entire bulbs.
I have to say, it wasn’t awful, but we trespassed on a dimension reached only through #garlic. 😁
