Sleeping
That picture up there is something Katrina asked me about a couple times today: "Daddy, remember when i got mud on my legs?" Weird. Also weird: i was driving home from the grocery store yesterday, an insect ran into the top of my open window as i was waiting at a red light, and plopped down into my lap. I looked closely at it, and was shocked to see that it was a water strider, a true bug, and i definitely did not expect to encounter one very far away from, you know, the water. Especially in the middle of a busy intersection. It was a -- heh -- displaced insect. That being funny, obviously, because they don't float (displace water) they stand on the surface tension of water with their fascinatingly structured legs. Nanotechnology in nature. I didn't pick the bug up because i didn't want to hurt its spindly legs, and i was, you know, driving, but it staggered across my lap, and a minute later, wound up for a jump, and launched itself directly into the side of the door. Poor bug. I hope he escaped back into a more watery world.
