Lights Out

Hello on this Stir Fry Wednesday!

Yesterday was very dark and rainy, so Oogyhubby lit some candles for us to enjoy during dinner.  These became even more useful when the power went out for a few hours just a short time later.

In other news: The deer were parading up and down the driveway at 12:45 AM; ask me how I know.

There is an exquisite beauty in the way tetrodotoxin is made harmless to its hosts, the way a wasp moth vomits over its mate, or the way a mongoose withstands the venom of the cobra. To me, these are things worth exploring, so I do. " In his book, Macinnis endeavors to describe poisonous compounds and their science, relate which historical figures are implicated in the use of these poisons, and document how these poisons are referred to literature. He then attempts to weave all of these aspects together. Macinnis does indeed attempt to cover aspects of science, people, and all the history inbetween, but he does not seem quite able to cover everything in a consistent, coherent way.
