   Here in SoCal since about 2000, the once very common black widow spider is being replaced (i.e. preyed upon) by a related, invasive species, the brown widow spider. It has the same general shape and “patent leather”-appearing exoskeleton, but is a mottled brown with a large, orange hourglass on its back.

   Let’s hope he threw up all over the other boys who egged him on!

   On one of the episodes of “Too Cute” featured a recently rescued cat and her litter of black and white kittens … to which was added a rescued orphaned baby skunk. Mama cat welcomed it to the “dinner table”, and it grew up alongside the kittens, more than living up to the series title. (When I Googled “too cute rescue kitten and skunk”, I found several YouTube clips—well worth watching.)

   Actually, I think boney meant “cue” as in “cue an actor’s entrance”. “Que” is French for “what”, and “queue” means a line of things waiting to be processed (think checkout lines at the market)

    In my 40s & 50s I worked graveyard shift, which was great because I’m a night person. But my diurnal rhythm would bottom out about 5 am, so I would walk for an hour between 5 and 6—safe enough on the military base where I worked (the security patrol got to know me). Some of the best times was when sunrise happened during my walk—sometimes I had to do the last westward mile walking backwards so I could look at all the glorious colors behind me.
