Wonky?

The day has finally arrived. A soft-science news source has used "wonky" in its headline. (Stress Gives Reef Fish Wonky Ears.)

Since when did uncommon slang work its way into news headlines without quotation marks?

And to note, cortisol from chronic stress gave Raven a big belly. Yes, yes it did. The cure for cortisol-induced belly though is contraindicated by my knee pain. Bugger.

Navel Gazing/Today I Saw (#7)

I wonder at what point in their evolutionary history, cats realized that letting monkeys paw at them was advantageous to their food supply and for getting to that hard-to-reach spot between the shoulders.

But really, isn't it odd that cats ever deigned to let monkeys touch them in the first place? It's as though we evolved to serve their needs, while we bred dogs to serve ours.

Today I Saw ...
(No, really, this one was really from today!)

• Rusted tin can awaiting the school bus


• Kite flying on rainbow wings


• Teenagers pushing bikes down the sidewalk; sign on handle bars:

  HOME-
  LESS



• Gentle passion surfacing from the depths of a man's eyes


• That tin can is still waiting.
