Comments on: IRFD 4: Lonesome mud http://www.vianegativa.us/2007/09/irfd-4-lonesome-mud/ How can we live without the unknown before us? —Rene Char Sun, 12 Feb 2012 19:48:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: House Surveyor Suffolk http://www.vianegativa.us/2007/09/irfd-4-lonesome-mud/#comment-5826 House Surveyor Suffolk Sat, 17 Nov 2007 13:58:56 +0000 http://www.vianegativa.us/2007/09/04/irfd-4-lonesome-mud/#comment-5826 I'm sorry you had such a disappointing rock-flipping experience. Don't give up though, rock-flipping often reveals some very interesting finds for young bug-hunters. I’m sorry you had such a disappointing rock-flipping experience.

I was surprised and gratified by the response to this impromptu event, which was sparked by a comment at a VN post in late August. I linked to all the other IRFD participants I could find at the end of my second post. I was also pleased to see some dissenting voices — bloggers who preferred to leave under-rock denizens undisturbed.

But the end result may not have been so different. My foot knocked over a rock while I was watering and there was a big black cricket.

It's someone else's turn to play ringleader! I guess the attraction of the bridge rock was that it was a big-ass rock that we could still tip and replace with relatively little disruption. Also, I wanted to get in touch with my inner redneck. I dunno. It’s someone else’s turn to play ringleader!

I looked over our cliff and its big boulders, but I thought, "Dave wouldn't approve if we took the tractor to those..." I misjudged you. Of course, those boulders are buried so deep, there's probably nothing macroscopic happening, and I really like them the way they are. This has been fun! What'll we do next? Hmmm.
