My List Today

There is _one_ thing that I want to do today and I pretty sure it won’t get done for some time. There are 3 things I’m ranking pretty highly and maybe 2 of those will get done. There are 2 things that definitely need attention and I’m pretty sure one of those will get done. And there is 1 thing that must get completed in the wee hours of the night and it may run over to tomorrow but will be finished before nightfall Saturday. Then I have a couple of self-serving things on the backburner.

Today’s Piece of Science

Collective synchronisation:

Collective synchronisation occurs in nature when crickets start chirping in unison. In some parts of the world, fireflies blink on and off in perfect synchrony like a Christmas tree. The monthly cycles of women living together have also been known to synchronize.

I worked at an office staffed mostly by women and there was a particular time each month that simply behooved having a ready supply of chocolate. When Sarah gets a little older the boys and I are going to have to have a monthly camping trip. But anyhow, the article is about bridges.
