first, of course, i need to talk about school.... i finished the second chapter that we are required to read next week (week #5, it will begin this coming Tuesday)... so i basically spent this Winter Break reading chapters 9 & 10, but no worries, i spread out the reading into little sections (much less stress), and you know me, i spent most of my time taking loooong "sewing breaks"....
about RG, i had posted last night about some old fotos i took almost exactly one year ago (it was 2017-01-13)... Tony had brought me a tiny piece of empty wasp's nest that he found in the backyard (attached to the wooden, unpainted fence).... when i was looking at the nest, under my microscope, i notice a very faint yellowish/orangish dusting; and when i zoomed in (increasing the magnification) i saw these gorgeous *tiny* orange colored sporangia and very light colored sporangiophores:
today 2 doctors of Botany saw my posting, and gave me links to an RG-site article, and asked a couple questions about what is visible under the microscope.... reading the article mentioned that there are Mucor nidicola sp. fungi that follow around the paper wasp; and apparently this is very possible to be the fungus i saw....
i went ahead and cleared the dining room table today, and tomorrow i am going to try and view the sample of the nest and see if i can find out any new information on the fungus.... okay, that's what's happening at the RG-site...
onto my other "pondering".... i feel really unsure if i should bother posting any more of my discussions about our in-house conversations/daily-diaries.... i used to go ahead and do this over at LJ, but that was "back in the day"; before the Russians bought LJ, before LJ was turned into a ghost-town (thanks to Facebook)... and back when my friends at LJ were actually friends of mine, but most of the people i am hooked up with via Dreamwidth are still "new" to me, and i am worried that they won't understand what i am writing, and i am also a little nervous that my writings can be taken and used in their own writings (esp. Slash-authors).... so i am still at one of those infamous cross-roads...
have to just think about it for a while..
