Things always seem terrible around here, but yesterday my daughter saw her first waterfall and I got to watch her face.

@JWvanGroenigen Just more proof of how important soil is in unexpected ways!

@queenjoheen I like to eat 8 spiders on the 1st Jan, that way I know I am above average for the whole year.

"We are tougher than we seem. We are tougher than we think. Our stories will outlive us. Let's make them good."

A reflection from Neil Gaiman (@neilhimself) on the fragile but powerful resilience of humans:

Can’t believe how awesomely down to earth @neilhimself is in facing this. Actually had an unexpected calming effect in this household

I recorded this late last night my time. Anyone out there who wants to write?

Lucy Bartholomew is second place female at Rucky Chucky Near (mile 78). She is +40 minutes and pranced down the steps to the river looking good. #WS100

[iRunFar @iRunFar]

Courtney Dauwalter currently sits 15th place overall at Green Gate (mile 80). She is 33 minutes behind course record pace. #WS100

[iRunFar @iRunFar]

Jim Walmsley is first place male at No Hands Bridge (mile 96.8) in 14:00 elapsed. Ran right on through without stopping. He's 14 minutes ahead of course record pace (apologies if time from course record at Pointed Rocks was out by a few minutes). #WS100

This reinforces in my mind the importance of non-vascular plant taxonomic skills to support this developing field of ecology. Regreyably we are losing our expertise in plant identification across all groups https://t.co/zmxtRlCs1G
