We're gearing up for ABBB. I've got my list and I'm checking it twice.
Adventures of the Bug World: I saw a couple of birds fighting over what I thought was a leaf. Hmm, odd thing to fight over, and it's not nesting season--and then the leaf skittered in a wind that didn't exist. And leapt and flipped. I went to investigate. It was a praying mantis! It was pretty riled up, wings cockeyed in every direction, legs splayed, and slightly flattened so that it could cling closer to the ground. Truth be told I thought it had been squished. But I offered it my keys and it came along for a ride from the Home Depot parking lot where I found it, all the way home, where it's now on some tall stonecrop making like a leaf.
They're my favorite bugs. Awesome. Now that I know how they puff up to make themselves big and low profile at the same time, I think they're even more awesome.

Good for you! That was incredibly nice. Karma, baby.
Now it's Friday! Is there anything you need for tomorrow?
