Cool Article: Ocean bacteria glow to turn...
If Zarubin allowed the zooplankton members to actually eat the bacteria, they too started to glow. Shrimp will start to shine after just ten seconds of swimming in a soup of P. leiognathi.

This morning, I went on a roughly 20 mile bike ride on the Swamp Rabbit Trail with my brother in law from downtown Greenville to Travelers Rest. After that, I have been drinking beer with my family while watching Cowboys and Aliens and Flash Gordan. Woot for the holidays!

Thanks to the internet, I now have ceramic artist acquaintances in Belgium.
I put the shotgun in an Adidas bag and padded it out with four pairs of tennis socks, not my style at all, but that was what I was aiming for: If they think you’re crude, go technical; if they think you’re technical go crude.
