@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... #BikeNIte A2. My husband, when he was chair of the Transportation Board (purely an advisory board, no power) commented at a board meeting on the big open cracks on one multi-use path near us. The next week, workers appeared and started filling the cracks. Which isn't as great as it sounds, since now, there are big filled lumps where the cracks used to be. I'm not sure if they're better or worse than the cracks. They haven't been back to fix the lumps.

For #FungiFriday : when I was out walking at night with the UV light, I found a #fluorescent #mushroom growing in a bed of rocks. So I went back out to find it the next morning and see what it looked like in sunlight. I've never seen a mushroom like this before.

A neighbor was out walking her dog and snapped an excellent photo of a deer hanging out with my Tristegatops. She was nice enough to come to the door and offer to sent me a copy.

(A Tristegatops is what you get when you weld up a Triceratops but forget that it's actually Stegosaurus that has the tail spikes. I really wanted those tail spikes.)

@nprofile1q... That was actually got me out there walking in the first place. Years ago I went on a night walk with someone who used white-light flashlights, held near his face, to seek out spiders by their green-eyed reflections. I thought I'd go look for that in my yard, but took a UV light as well as a white one. I was surprised not to find any spiders that way, just crickets and the one scorpion (and lots of little unidentifiable stuff). I'll keep looking.

I've been prowling after sunset with the UV rock light (bought through the geology club to look at fluorescent rocks) to see what I can see in the yard. Discovered that crickets fluoresce. So last night I went out with UV light and the cellphone to try to get a photo of a cricket. Didn't find any crickets, but I did find this! I knew we supposedly had some scorpions here, but I'd never actually seen one and didn't entirely believe it. About 1.5" long. So cool!
