They’ve found another mature American chestnut tree that appears to be resistant to the chestnut blight!

This is extremely good news. Until the chestnut blight, chestnut trees were the predominant tree in eastern North America. They hope to breed this one with others.
up early getting ready to go back to volunteering-work, eating a banana and drinking chai 'cause I'm not going to stop at Safeway to get chai on the way 'cause I'm getting a Lyft 'cause it's icy out there and I would prefer to avoid a quarter-mile walk along an icy unlit road with no sidewalk and plenty of traffic 'cause I would like to *reduce* my chances of dying this morning
@cute_weeds oh THAT KIND OF ENDO. *cough* yay! :D
@cute_weeds did you drink the Terrible Stuff? or is this just a friendly visit? :D

watched the second Doctor Who/Dalek "movie" (with Peter Cushing, and it was SO WEIRD seeing him NOT blowing up Alderann [sorry, spoilers]) RiffTrax with Spouse, and it was pretty horrible but funny with the commentary. now waiting for 8 pm to roll around so I can feed the cats and head to bed. tomorrow morning, I'll be heading back to volunteering! and we'll see if there's anything there to work on, heh.
I found this Sabertooth Squirrel print in Portland. I had to have it. It might be the start of a squirrel collection. #weirdart
