Any of my followers fossil nerds, especially about the Great Lakes fossils? I'll be staying with my parents for a while longer, and my dad has a vast fossil collection that I want to dig through, identify, and make a post on. Does this sort of pattern look familiar to anyone? To my eye it resembles mycelium or slime mold, but the likelihood of those being fossilized is very slim.

Eclipse Trip Report, Part 2

Sunday was an even more perfectly gorgeous day! We spent it exploring our home park. Here's the lake and swimming beach area:

Like most of the Pennsylvania state parks, the lake was formed by adding a little dam:

In addition to being eclipse weekend, it was also the opening weekend of trout season, so the park was pretty busy:

All the exploring made Sophie sleepy:

The campground was completely full Sunday night, and mostly full Saturday and Monday nights. Most of the people were in campers, but there were a few hardy souls braving it in tents. (The daytime weather was pleasant, but it got very cold at night!) We had people from all the neighboring states, and I also saw cars from Kentucky and Michigan.

Back at the campsite, I used my new cast-iron pot to make stew over the fire:

It's the kind with little legs so you can sit it right in the coals, but my fire ring had a big rock right in the middle, so I had to sit it on the rock and piled the fuel up around it.

The stew came out pretty well, though:

I made some of the flour-and-yogurt bread, too--I was going to try to do that over the fire, but with the rock situation, I ended up doing it over my bottle-gas camping stove instead, and then just put it over the fire to keep warm.

My dad showed up just in time for dinner, and then pretty much fell asleep right after. We hung extra blankets from the top bunks to provide some semblance of privacy, which is what my sister and I used to do growing up:

Eclipse day, we drove out to the park on Chautaqua. The weather was like this:

And pretty much stayed that way until about 15 minutes after totality. We got to the park pretty early--about 11, for totality at 3:17. I'd allowed plenty of time for traffic, which turned out to be completely unnecessary; there was less traffic than when I did my scouting trip on Saturday. There were maybe 3 or 4 cars already parked at the marina when we got there, so we went and got breakfast and then came back.

By the time the partiality started, the row of prime parking spaces right on the water had filled up:

(The orange cooler and chairs are our spot.) The sun occasionally peeked out, during partiality, which you could tell because of how everybody shouted and scrambled for their eclipse glasses. This band of clear sky toward the southeast steadily widened as we got closer to totality:

Which prompted lots of hopeful remarks on the theme of how the clear bit just might make it to where the sun was, in time. (Spoiler: it did not.)

During totality, I got one fraction of a second glimpse of about half of the sun's corona; other than that, the main thing to see was the 360 sunset effect, where the light from outside the path of totality was reflecting off the clouds. It was fairly neat:

We also heard some nighttime calls from birds on the lake. It was not as spectacular as a clear-sky eclipse would have been, but it was interesting and somewhat eerie.

As totality ended, you could see it getting lighter by the second, and the band at the street party on the opposite side of the lake started playing "Here Comes the Sun."

They could, perhaps, have tried playing it a little earlier, because about 15 minutes later, the sky started to clear, and we had an excellent view of the second half of partiality.

And there was still no traffic, and my dad had never seen Lake Erie, so we drove up there afterwards--we just did the Barcelona beach, because he was driving back that night. You could tell by the state of the trash cans and port-a-potties that they'd had a bit of a crowd, but by the time we got there--with totality not even entirely over--we had it nearly to ourselves:

And I found this piece of slate that I think might possibly be a fossil imprint of something:

A different angle of it:

I have no idea how you tell, but none of the other pieces of slate on the beach has a texture like that, so there must be something unusual about it. (Just in case anyone is wondering, rock collecting is listed on the beach's website as one of the activities you can do there. It is a licitly-obtained free-range rock.)

And that was about it for the trip! My dad went home that night, and Sophie and I followed the next morning. We did encounter some traffic on the way home, but it wasn't anything too drastic--about like how it gets in that area on Penn State football weekends.

Here are a few more cottage photos. This is the upper bunks and ceiling:

The view from my bunk:

The standing fan was provided; I've never had one of those in park lodgings before. The trash can is also fairly unusual.

Here's the bunks without all my stuff in the way:

The little ledge with the lamp is a nice touch, too--a lot of the time, all you get is a ceiling light.

Sophie says, this was fun, but it's time to go home now!

Exterior view in the sun:

And here's one of the park yurts:

I stayed in one of these once; they're kind of neat. The walls are made of several layers of tarpaulin-type material, on a wooden frame. There's a wooden floor inside, and they have electricity. The top of the roof is a see-through dome, which you can also raise up if you want ventilation.

Anyway, that was our eclipse trip! It was a good time and I'm glad I went, even though I didn't have the totality experience that I hoped for. (Now I'm trying to convince my dad we should try again in Iceland in 2026. His turn to pay, since I got this one!)

All this time in Paldea studying prehistoric beasts that made me have more and more questions…..but I couldn't expect that the answer was that I was seeing the past of another timeline

today (it's still today in my timezone) marks a full year since i became unemployed which is pretty cool. as harrowing and obnoxious and a whole host of much nastier adjectives it's been (and continues to be) to try and get on disability, i think it's safe to say that i'm still much, much happier than i ever was while i was working. the future continues to be uncertain as always, but right now, i'm glad i can wake up in the mornings as The Unemployed Friend On A Tuesday.

there's a pretty persistent narrative out there of "even without being financially forced to do so, people still want to work", and i don't even really disagree with that idea, but for years and years and years i've never felt that way about myself at all. i feel like it's just something i was expected to "grow out of" and i guess it never happened. i can't imagine i'm the only one.

for all the people out there who can't work, who shouldn't be working, and who wouldn't work even in some hypothetical paradise, i hope you and i both get to live good and happy Unemployed Tuesdays in the years to come. and i hope every single united states politician explodes into blood at the same time

#spiritspeak #oh and happy almost halloween :) dressed up as a dragon and walked around the fall farmers market today 🐉🎃#ate some nice food. saw a lot of birds by the lake. got a little ammonite fossil. good times

This natural beauty is one of the few existing "natural swimming pools" but also a mythical home of 'Abena Mbushi'

This natural swimming pool is called Lake Kashiba of Mpongwe District in Copperbelt, Zambia.

According to myths (believed as factual) by local people, this lake has no base but has a village, a home to the 'Abena Mbushi'.

Unlike man- made swimming pools, this beautiful natural swimming pool can never be seen with leaves shaded from trees despite being surrounded by only trees as the "villagers of Abena Mbushi" living underneath the lake have it cleaned in the hours of the night.🫡

Among many other stories about the Lake Kashiba is that fish from this lake doesn't get cooked but sings in the pot instead 🥵

Does it have crocodiles and other aquatic life?

This beautiful lake is said to have inspired the concept of the Marvel movie- Black panther 2.

#Queen anne's lace | Daucus carota #Pulled from a roadside wildflower tangle on a whim. Date sometime before 24 August 2022.#While riding bikes to visit makeshift museum of twisted metal.#I rode slow alongside my mom. probably. it's a blurry memory.#On a tiny island on a sea sized lake #shallow and full to the brim with fossils and dead fish and broken glass.#An island that gave my mother her name. one of my favorite places. where i imagine storms when im angry #My first memory of this plant is old.#My mom pushing my sisters in a red double stroller in the summertime.#Turning the bend near our home.#Or walking toward my grandparents house in late August. maybe. i dont remember #Just that she told me it was queen Anne's lace and I patted my face with it like a powder puff.#Its tiny white flowers branching out blurry like a globular cluster pressed flat. Like stars huddled around the mass of a tiny velvet purpl #flower. a flower that makes me feel small and needy. with tiny hands and tiny worries.#...usually i write these things off thr top of my head but this one was prewritten. i just feel too insecure to make writing posts that can #be reblogged 😬 but anyway im writing entries for the handful of pressed flowers thst i have. idk y i grabbed this one bc it was the 1st #i just always liked queen anne's lace. childhood nostalgia and all that i suppose #unrelated #also i say it was prewritten but when i wrote it. it was still just brain vomit without editing lil
