Hello Adriene and all. I have been undergoing an existential endemic of immense proportions which has caused me to act rash and not be available as much as I'd like to be, as I imagine many of us are. I do not take this show, all of you, and WFMU for granted. Much love.

ultra d there's another plant (which i've had many of, as it's incredibly easy and propegates generously) called "4 o'clock" that flowers either at night or more likely early morning or on dark days.

Handy Haversack:

We got you, Mr. P.

I am taking a break today. Slept late. Worked not that hard. The cats had a late breakfast so aren't even harassing me yet. I'm on the couch with a book and the dog and glass of wine and The Blind Tourist. Feels OK.

Adriene, I'm reading about a Danish expedition to Arabia in the 1760s. One of the young scholars spends a month along at Persepolis, mapping, charting, and making the first copies of the cuneiform inscriptions there -- the ones that led to the recovery of the language. They were inscribed high on shiny marble walls and columns and he could copy them only when the sun was shining directly on them. He goes blind from the glare! And even when he can see again, his eyes stay super sensitive as he continues his travels.

An early blind tourist. Carsten Niebuhr would lovethe show.

Ha, nice. We have a rent-stabilized place with back-yard access. So hopefully don't move again until the REAL apocalypse.

DJ Guin:

@Ken -- i believed they determined the cause of sudden hive collapse. a pesticide, of course. is it still that bad?
  6:49pm
Shane Braindrain:

Yes, remember bees?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:53pm
coelacanth∅:

it's the many pesticides and unfavourable conditions in general.
and as if the direct assault to the bees isn't enough, the shithead species like yellowjackets are resilient and adapt to all humans' crap, so they still flourish on, always willing to destroy the honeybees' colonies.
