3:00 snapshot, #107.

My coworker and her office area, using her computer only minutes before the slam bang thunderstorms turned the power off.

Disgusting substance of the day: a film of gore on my fingers, as I prepared the snapping turtle's mouse and carrot surprise.

On this day in 365 urban species: Stinging nettles. This entry has a spirited discussion of this prickly plant's edible and medicinal qualities. Definitely worth a reread. There are tons of nettles in the deer enclosure at work, many more than in previous years (they don't eat it, so it's spreading). Likewise, I saw a ton of it during my visit to the zoo this week.
