Mental association jukebox (Feb 29 2004 22:10 GMT) - Nearly every week I shop for groceries at the Berkeley Bowl. Inevitably, near the end of my round, in the produce section, I find my mind humming the words "... yesterday don't matter when it's gone / Dying all the time / Lose your dreams and you will lose your mind / In life unkind...." Just when I start wondering why I'm thinking about a Rolling Stones song, the chorus kicks in "Goodbye, Ruby Grapefruit / Who could hang a name on you." Just this morning, doing some dishes, I found myself mentally singing Dylan's Buckets of Rain, specifically the part that goes "Little red wagon / Little red bike / I ain't no monkey but I know what I like.... |

Bryozoans - obvious photographs of: (Feb 29 2004 22:06 GMT) - I could be wrong (5% chance), but if you look at the "Y" shaped structure in roughly the lower center of this photograph, I see a sponge fossil, pure and simple. Also,if you look just to the lower left of this curious "Y" shaped structure, you'll see what I can only describe as a cylidrical bryozoan (lower left corner.) Also, there's another oddly shaped cylindrical item in this scene, just barely to the upper left, with some sort of hook like feature on the end of it. Probably a mirage of some kind there, but I see bryozoans in this photograph, and I'd bet with at least 90% certainty, that's what they are. Anyone giving odds on finding the crabs too? |
