UC#1-SU UC#4: I have been meaning to send you this info, since I am pretty proud of it, and actually forgot to share it when you were asking about what we were growing (?!!) but maybe that will help to give a timeline, since I think the seedling was about 2 wk old at the […]

The sense of smell, or olfaction, is the special sense through which smells (or odors) are perceived. The sense of smell has many functions, including detecting desirable foods, hazards, and pheromones, and plays a role in taste. In humans, it occurs when an odor binds to a receptor within the nasal cavity, transmitting a signal […]

One of those gloomy days, my friends. Some new anchors around my neck, some cumulative anchors. Voice in the wilderness, reflections on the wasteland, etc. In no particular order: Elder G Has an Idea Despite the lack of enthusiasm over the Soylent Green project, Elder G suggested we expand our mission to include the World’s […]

WLBOTT stands for “World’s Largest Ball of Twine Tour.” We embrace absurdity and want to make the world a better place. Peace through twine. What do you think? G: That sounds fantastic, […]
UC#1-SU / MacGyver UC#1-SU / Details Wait…. someone’s actually reading my emails? Semi-Sequitur: Did We Get it Wrong? What if it really was Lady MacGyver, not Lady Godiva? SU#3 When I was around 14 years old, I was summoned on weekend morning at our house on [undisclosed location] by UC#4. A friend of his had […]

The Elders’ morning routine. Sally the Intern Looking forward to another unpaid day at WLBOTT HQ. “It’ll look good on your resume!” UC#4 / UC#4-SU Elder KM Very curious as to why you are in chicken suits? As for us, we get up between 6-7 when Little Person #1 (the alarm clock) wakes us. Then […]
Today we celebrate international blooming! UC#1 & SU I’ve got to make some corrections here. The rhubarb plant is named “Ruby” (not “Barb” as you might have guessed!).
