i was getting pictures of a big bumblebee when i saw this character looking at me from under the umbrella of another flower. for some reason i'm thinking of telling this grasshopper about my dental nerves. i have to go to dr. johnson today to have an ancient filling replaced. it's not like before. everything or most everything decays but my teeth are more solid than they were for many a year. i think it's residual nerves, but who knows what's residual and what's anticipatory. i talk to grasshoppers.
