Several random things make a post
"Gnar" is an English verb, meaning snarl, or growl. The G is silent, as in gnash or gnome or gneiss.
I have finished calculating my taxes and hope you all have done so for your own.
I highly recommend Persepolis, the film made from the graphic novels of Marjane Satrapi. I haven't read the graphic novels yet; I expect I'll like them, too. (Note to Vy: not for you right now; too much violence.)
My daffodils are about done for this year. We have a snakehead fritillary blooming in a spot where we never planted any. That is, we've planted plenty of snakehead fritillaries over the years, but the ones we've planted have vanished, and this one has appeared, far from its parents. The snakehead fritillary is a very satisfyingly silly flower.
The exhibit of Roman art from the Louvre currently at the Seattle Art Museum includes a sculture of Venus and Eros with Mosasaur. The label says it's a sea monster, but anyone who looks at that jawful of teeth can tell right away that it's a very small mosasaur. Thank you, Adrienne Mayor.
