Inside you there are two Calvinists (Marilynne Robinson and Mark Driscoll).

Ai Chihuuahu!

I don't know if any other album (of any artist) had the impact on me of hearing Catch For us the Foxes for the first time.

I'd love to hear more "It's All Crazy" songs. Cattail Down.

That final song transition!!

And Bethlehem, WV was fantastic. I'm really into mellow mewithoutYou these days.

Hope you don't mind me basically live-posting this here, but the inclusion of (a snippet of) Julian the Onion, and the whole of Cleo's Ferry Cemetary is pretty cool. Two of my favourites and non-album surprises. And Timbre's harp on Grape on the Vine!

For refersnce, what is TPUSA?

mewithoutYou live pt. 2 is so good you guys, truly the best to ever do it

The Kootenay River and the two Brilliant bridges in the distance at Castlegar, from earlier today.

Come join us at the Butterfly Garden at Syringa PP for a bee walk tomorrow at 1pm!

4 terms? More like 4 centuries.

Wh-wh-what? The "Memphis Shall Be Laid to Waste" bit caught me completely off guard.

Listening. "We need that cog!"

Furthest in each direction I've been in Canada.

S. Metchosin, BC
E. Viking, AB

Point Pelee is on the destination list one day!

Is it out??

If I did this it would be really boring

No, there's no post editing. If it's really bad, most people delete and repost or follow up with a correction.

yes, and also places, basses

Yes, I'm aware of owls.

That SG could hurt!

I don't think that's Rhizocarpon. I'd consider Candelariela or something similar

MacGillvray's!

Thanks!

Photo of large colony of Rhizocarpon lichen, with pale yellow and black dots, on gray rock.

Small patch of rhizocarpon lichen colony on whitish quartz, with yellow and black spots, and dark lines stretching out in river-like lines on the quartz. Roughly the shape of India? Antarctica? A reverse of the Horn of Africa?

8-12. Rhizocarpon geographicum (or related lichens in the same complex) was everywhere, often delightfully contrasting on white quartz and granite. Real map energy on some of these.
