To summarize:
-the murderer was Larry David from Curb Your Enthusiasm
-no wait, it was a different guy but we got him
-fuck, no we didn’t
-I bet transsexuals did this
-okay but the fact it feels like they did says something about society
-we’re fairly sure he’s either in Utah or somewhere else

Manoomin (aka wild rice) is an aquatic grass, so wind pollinated. But the flowers have a great purple color. This rice bed has flowering plants alongside mature seeds.

🌿 Sedges are, to 99% of people, a kind of grass. Even among botanists they are a bit of a joke, with tiny wind-pollinated flowers. They often have to be IDed using a microscope.

This guy, however, is insect pollinated and gorgeous.

I love to show up every day for my job, which is standing around holding the front of my tactical vest and getting told to choke to death by thousands of passers-by while 11 of my coworkers handcuff a roofer on his way to work. Every night I drive 80 minutes home, thinking about nothing at all.
