Oh, good.

24 hours later, what I was positive was a competing mold has thickened up into what looks much more like pleurotus ostreatus mycelium. I called Paul Stamets' people and they told me that that's what that particular species' developing mycelia look like. I guess I've never seen it in its early stages before, and it really does strongly resemble cobweb mold, which is a common plague of commercial mushroom-growing operations.

Okay, good. Now I can get back to my regularly scheduled program. I hope.

I think I might still make some Winogradsky columns, though, just because they are pretty.

This is my Jessybean, and our dad. Her mom is conversational but not fluent in English, and does not understand why I would call a child "bean," so has decided I am calling her "jessy-baby."

From Portland, a while ago.

Yes, I am finally catching up on photos. No, I have not uploaded my Hawaii stuff to Flickr yet. Or even looked at them, really.

Man, there was more stuff but I failed.

I was visiting these people the day after they shot this.

I felt I should add something entertaining when all I had to say originally is that it is now the end of Day 6, and not smoking isn't that hard. I mean, I still think I should smoke a cigarette, but it's pretty easy not to.
