Utterly fascinating! And I’d have handed over the cash for that VW Beetle almost instantly

Thanks, John! I went back to take a closer look at that beach buggy. The undercarriage was seriously corroded, and I don't currently have the extra bandwidth to care for an old car. But what a beautiful thing to see.

I might not have gotten out my wallet immediately either, ha ha. I know they rust terribly from the bottom up, but I can’t help loving them nonetheless

Can't stop thinking about those harvest ants and the "ant doctor" who prescribes them for a vision quest. The visceral response I had to reading that passage is something I can't quite shake! Wow.

Right? It was an astonishing thing to come across in my feed, and even trippier after I read the paper. Thanks as always for reading.

Sheer delight, so much I have never known before, for example: how about those harvest ants! Thanks too for your description of the family gathering at the end. Choked me up too.
