When we biked by the park, a bagpiper was practicing in the middle of the field, playing a deep second base. He was pretty good; even so the middle of a field is the polite place to practice, but he didn't need a bigger field. It makes me nostalgic for CMU. I like the sound of a bagpipe in the distance.

I may have spoken too soon about nothing else going wrong with the furnace.



I got a few peas germinated, but not many, and went back to fill in the spaces. The soil seemed peculiarly well-populated with millipedes; I dug up one of the dud peas and it was completely surrounded by a writhing mass of small millipedes. Blaniulus, I think. Maaaybe it was dead before they started eating it, but I'm suspicious.

See them writhe.



What is this flower? I like them. [Note: if you are skipping the lj-cut you do not wish to go to the previous photo from this one.]

I have to confess I didn't handle them enough to look closely at the pea. I know in my head they're fine glossy millipedes but they felt like creepy parasites anyway. Their coloration does them no favors. The pea at least wasn't grossly eaten away, so they may be innocent... but on the other hand the pea didn't have a visible payload of fungi etc. either.

Thanks for the ID.
