The Tale of the Whale

I was listening to the Spa Channel on XM Radio, and heard "Tale of the Whale" come on, by Michael Gettel. It made me feel so alive and full of emotion, and I absolutely loved it. It is incredibly haunting.

I also love "Summer Rain," which I highly recommend if you love rain and thunderstorms as much as I do.

Mossy Bath Mat

I stumbled across this incredible bath mat. It is made of round sections of moss. It grows and thrives wonderfully in your bathroom from the steam and from your wet feet. I can't even imagine how awesome it feels on your toes!

Beekite Ring

I am a member of a fossil list, and found this great photo and information in my inbox. It was stated as an interesting fossil find, identified as a "beekite ring", that was found when sifting through the shale in St Louis, Missouri. It is commonly found in Nebraska, and is related to Pennsylvanian fossils in Utah and Nebraska.

The reference for the posted article link is:
Loope, D. B., and Watkins, D. K., 1989, Pennsylvanian fossils replaced by red chert: early oxidation of pyritic precursors: Journal of Sedimentary Petrology, v. 59, no. 3, p. 375-386.

I go to a few fossil shows a year, especially one in Jefferson, Wisconsin.
