looks like my apartment…which means I’d best get to work shortly…
Good to be home and out of my hosiery; wore knee-high hose with my dress boots today, which look nice but my feet/legs were majorly complaining by the time we got home. Definitely a jeans girl here…still need to pull on some shoes so my feet don’t swell too much. š
It finally cooled off here a little, so we are getting a reprieve from the helllish heat for a few days. I’m in a hotel again, this time Westlake Village, for an upcoming “director’s retreat.” It’s a lovely place in it’s way so I just ran around for a couple of hours and took a bunch of pictures.
My “Don’t Think of a Troll” diary is still live on DKos, ironically a few folks are hashing out the fallout from a “Troll War” where someone named SLouise and her sockpuppets ended up getting banned. But there were some serious hard feelings that won’t go away. It’s puts a whole new spin on “taking things personally” when people don’t even know each other personally and aren’t using their real names.
Anyhoo, I’m going to finish my glass of chardonnay then take a dip in the pool and go have dinner. All you lovely froggies are always with me in spirit!
I watched a David Attenborough special on caves last night. It included a segment on “glow worms.” They are actually the larve of a fly (which, technically, makes them glow maggots, but I can see how glow worm sounds better).
Their excretory tubes use waste, oxigen, and few other chemicals they manufacture, to create a blue green glow. Which they use to attract flying insects into the sticky suspended lines they make. When an insect get caught on a line, the larve reels it in and eats it.
It’s all terribly gross and facinating. There is a cave in Tasmania with glow worms. I have yet to visit it, but plan to in the next year.
in the house? I’d love to know what this might be, other than the world most disorganized plant.

Hope everyone’s having a great day/evening…
Uh, where did you find it? A location might help narrow down the options a bit.
It was growing in an opening at the edge of the woods. It was about 18″ high. The lower leaves were green but the ones with the flower were silvery.
Hi Frog Ponders! Back from a very hot day of canvassing for Lamont. I just wrote about it here if you’d like to find out more about how it went!
How has everyone else’s day gone?
Just checking in for my weekend hello!

Good to hear from you. Sounds like you have a pleasant evening on tap. Enjoy.
Thanks, AndiF. You have been in my thoughts!
I’ve enjoyed your beautiful photos in the FBL when I drop by for the occasional 4-ings.
I went to bed early (looks like everybody else did too) and so am just getting to read this.
I’m glad you have enjoyed them. Thanks.
And next time you’re dropping some 4’s, stop in and say hi. š
I WISH I WAS A GLOW WORM
FOR THEY ARE NEVER GLUM
COS, HOW CAN YOU BE GRUMPY
WHEN THE SUN SHINES OUT YOUR BUM

I very much like your song.
A friend sent it to me last week. Its author is unknown.
Of course, having re-read my post and now realizing how attrociously ungramatical it was, I’m embarrassed to have had it read by a teacher.
Putting the “sexy” in dyslexia
I was guessing it was perfectly grammatical Australian.
