Also encountered three horny toads and four snakes: two rattlesnakes and two garter(?) snakes. The rattlesnakes let us know they were there and we detoured around the them with no incident
On our hike this weekend at Henry Coe state park, CA, US, I was approached by one of the many butterflies there who decided it wanted my salts, first landing on my hat and proboscis’ing it repeatedly, then moving to my arm and repeating the process while we continued to climb up out of the Cañada del Dormida river valley. I think I carried it for 800m (.5mile)!
OH: "none print left infill"
Found this beauty of a millipede while breaking down a pile of wood chips for spreading. 
After having it crawl across their bare hand, my partner said it “feels like a zipper” and they weren’t wrong
OH: "The moon continues to wax"
"That means its darkside is still hairy?"
"... Intel Corporation, a partially state-owned enterprise with extensive links to the United States Republican Party and its armed wing, Department of War..."
If you are a masc-type person and start feeling like age might be diminishing your appeal, may I remind you that Ricardo Montalbán was 61 when they filmed Wrath of Khan
Sending warm, sunny vibes to our frozen compatriots on the east coast of the US
