Saturday

Bright sun and cold, 28 degrees. But it is supposed to get above freezing today! Looked in the back yard and saw a chickadee, two purple finches, and some tiny yellow-breasted bird on the feeders.

Have been reading Michael Pollan's The Botany of Desire and loving it.

Not sure what's on the agenda today, so have a couple of news articles. For folks who read the recent collaborative fic Roll the Bones, I think this might be one of Colt's long-lost cousins -- man in hospital gown steals fifty bucks, tries to escape on Walmart scooter. Also, guys will stick their dicks in anything. And then not be able to get them out. Heh.

microscopic aquatic plants that form the bottom of the food chain would probably be most essential.

That would be my vote. I read an article once saying the amount of oxygen produced by algae is much greater than the amount produced by all terrestrial plants.

Mmmm, kelp fry...
