Thanks so much for coming to Rochester last night!! I had not, in fact, heard your lecture before and it was great. Not that I needed to tell you that. Thanks again!!

Sepia officinalis... "officinalis" in the species name, at least for plants, usually indicates they had a medical purposes at one time.

Curmudgeons getting all horny and wild.

They still look like priests and nuns disapproving all that nonsense.

You see them there, peaceful, on the Sargasso plain. But they are being watched. A pride of lionfish have just appeared over the reef. . .

Those're BeaUtiful!
