Wow, an amoeba, a single-celled organism, the size of a grape. Pretty mind-boggling. Read the New Scientist article here, or view the slideshow (much more fun) here.
And that’s all I’ve got today: little grey lumps that creep about in the mud. But it’s a lovely day here in Seattle, so Kelley and I are going to go get some lunch and zone out for a couple of hours.

That’s pretty cool – pretty amazing; wonder what this might lead to. Your slideshow link has that extra stuff in front of it again.Glad you are having good weather and taking a couple hours off. We are actually having rain here. It really poured with actual thunder last night. Very exciting for us here in the dry lands. So I took a few snapshots around the house this morning and posted a few.
Oooh, science! This should entertain me for a while. We got gusts of 67+ mph last night and Maine’s in a state of emergency. No power expected to return for a few more days. Thank goodness my fav library is open! .tromping off to bio books.
