If you have no idea what’s going on here, start at NPW’s blog and keep reading forward. To read backward, the part of the story that precedes this one is over at Poppy Cedes. With just the tips of his fingers grasping the fraying string of the talisman as it spun round and round, Dr. [...]

Lazy Updates!
I have 10 minutes, and maybe as many bullet points… If you want something more in depth, you can read my post today at The Greenists. It’s about mildew, oven repair, and fruit fly capture. There’s something else I was going to say, maybe I’ll save it until the end. Yesterday, I scheduled a date [...]
