An additional morsel
One of the coolest things we saw on our travels was something I never would have noticed. But Ross would have been an entomologist in another life, and is always looking down at the ground for bugs — so he was the first one to see the hornet slowly murdering the moth twice its own size. We have video of the one-time-only event: it’s a bit of a big file, but let it load in another tab and come back to it in a few minutes. It’s pretty cool. (What? You don’t use a tabbed browser? Shame on you!)
ETA: Ross does like the origins of words as much as I do, but I meant to say that his other-life-occupation would have been entomology, of course. Thank you for not leaving me a comment telling me how stupid I am. I appreciate it!

Oooh — good film, needs soundtrack.
Flight of the Bumblebee is too obvious…hmm. The Theme from Rocky?

Hee. I’ll see what I can do on iMovie, which I never use.
Hey, did you get my letter as well as the postcards? I just want to make sure because I don’t know if I put enough postage on it.

Yes yes — there was plenty postage, thank you, unlike the Library of Congress postcard Kristin sent me upon which $0.12 was owed. I’ll get her back for that.
And I’ll write you as well. Soonish. Or laterish, if I have all this catching up to do on Cloud Atlas.
