We were so bummed!! We had a whole obstacle course planned with different sized balls, frisbees (maybe even a human tribute). I still chortle when I remember the look on people’s faces as the net poured to the ground. Good times! Thanks for letting me remember again!

When I started my job at Mount Rainier I discovered a CO2 net gun in my office for animals fox to grouse sized. I’d never used such a tool so I brought it home one weekend to practice. I set up a course w/ camp chairs. The net spilled out like flaccid ramen noodles. The seals were blown 1/10⭐️

I was rollerskating on a trail in Alaska and encountered a baby moose with no mama in sight. I’ve never backwards skated so fast! I needed to get around it so I gave it WIDE berth and clumsily bushwhacked through the willows tiptoeing on my toe stops. Never saw mama. Had to replace my muddy bearings

This can’t be its seed in the actual tree of life, can it?

In honor of 10 tournaments of the March Mammal Madness LibGuide at ASU Library, #2026MMM Celebrates LIBRARIES!

More than books, and definitely more than admonishments to shush, libraries are incredible collections of human knowledge, information, imagination, & creativity @mmmletsgo.bsky.social

So good!

I nominate Truth or Consequences (NM)

I grew up catholic so I must confess. Please absolve me of my sin… As much as I adore flycatchers, at MAPS stations, my least favorite thing is to get an Empidonax in the net. I curse them on super busy days.

Yeah, the Smithfield closed a while ago and def had an interesting toilet situation. In my memory they were facing each other but your pic made me wonder if my memory was slightly off. Either way, I suppose the arrangement could be quite useful for a parent with a little working on toilet training 😂

Was this the Smithfield Cafe? I feel like I remember this from the Smithfield Cafe lol

This is me 😂 I have one rod that’s rated to 30 pounds and used to just change the weight of my line. I got such funny looks at our local fishing hole! I finally got an ugly stick that’s been super versatile

Me too!! ologies is always such a joy to listen to, and this one especially because I saw my first platypus in the wild this year when went to Australia for my 50th birthday!!

I have several co-authors that are so wonderful that we end convos with ‘I love yous’ as if we were close siblings. It’s so heartfelt, especially after we challenge each other. So good!
