Probably bad that watching Invasion of the Body Snatchers this weekend made me realize how behind I am on moisturizing.

Ska? Sure. Why not?

Highly recommend this one. Read it after Margaret Atwood recommended it when she came to speak here in KC.
My choice for the 30-day books-by-women challenge:
#BookSky #BookChallenge #ReadingWomen #30DaysBooksByWomen #Books
It is not fiction, but worth a read with everything that is happening right now.

Gah. Another interminable family Zoom on the books. Checked all the Okie boxes:
- Where this week's tornadoes hit.
- Current state of the local creeks/rivers/lakes.
- Where the good persimmon trees are RN.
- Where and when everyone is fishing and/or birdwatching this weekend.

Delicious sushi lunch was delicious. Also, temporarily incapacitating.

Overdid it on meat and potatoes this week. Rectifying with a pot of very veggie puttanesca with roasted lemon garlic broccoli on the side.

Eating the last of the cardboard box-ripened garden tomatoes. Will be working on the frozen and canned ones until it's time to plant again.

It's a #GarWeek #FossilFriday! Here's some of the ganoid scales off of gar that we routinely find when scouting in the Hell Creek. So far only 1 complete gar skeleton has been found in the HCF, and I found it a full 10 years before I found my first Tyrannosaurus.
