Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Why do starfish always win? Because they're a-head! A new study of starfish genes has revealed that what we thought were arms are actually just extensions of the starfish's head, each containing DNA corresponding to various areas of the brain. This suggests that, at some point in their evolution sea stars had a torso, but lost it and became only disembodied heads. You can read more about this fascinating discovery here!

Turns out that Starfish (sea stars) are all head and stomach, with no legs (according to what scientists have discovered about their gene activation)

Trying to write during a windstorm is basically playing chicken with a potential power outage. Even in spite of autosave I find myself hitting the save button every few minutes just in case. I just barely won last night, finishing for the evening and doing my final save about five minutes before the power flickered a few times--and then went out for good.

Thankfully it came back on overnight, and I can now tell you that I added 4,534 words to The Everyday Naturalist manuscript yesterday, for a current total of 34,635. Not only did I get Chapter 3 (Getting Started With Nature Identification) done, but I am now well into Chapter 4 on How to Identify Animals.

Today is going to have to be an errands-and-appointments day, so I likely won't be writing, but I have tomorrow slated as another mostly-work-on-the-book day. My plan is to get as much of Chapter 4 done as I can, and go from there. It's going to be stormy all week, though, so we'll see how many breaks I'm forced to take due to outages again.
