A frog.

The bug is a fractal.

I have no idea what this bug is. I'm not even sure whether it's really a bug, since all it does when I poke it is quiver. It came from the top of the big ash tree in our yard -- the tree had split and needed to be cut down, and my brother spotted it when we started dragging branches out of the driveway.

Edit: I cannot believe it -- randomly surfing the web and I found another picture of the thing. It's called a Crowned Slug Caterpillar.

Eep.

It's much too hot.

I suppose blogging is like writing.

In order to get better at it, first you have to write lots and lots of posts and not worry so much about how good they are. It's a way to take the rust off too. And I'm awfully rusty.
