The Green Lynx Spider Mother - Always a Killer

La de da. And I was convinced, based on hearsay (see 10/7 below), that the green lynx mama only guarded the egg sac, didn’t eat while performing that onerous task, then expired. Ha! Never believe anything about nature you have not personally confirmed. All that malarkey is, well, malarkey.

Check this out, two electrograms, baby green lynx spiders












and mama. This is the same green lynx spider photographed on (10/7 below), now with baby spiders. Look at that miserable bug. That miserable bug may have been after her babies. Now though, that miserable bug is dead. How long do you think that miserable bug shall have any of its juices left? Easy that, not long, not long.

Swell! Now it is time for me Dr. Pistrum, Olympus E-330 user for almost half a year, to weigh in on the new professional model Olympus DSLR, the E-3. There is no way Red would authorize the purchase of the E-3 at $1,699. Nooooooooooo way! To get that kind of money, I would have to offer myself as a sex slave to some greasy Mammonite, once. Then, after that adventure, I could use his credit card to make the purchase, since he would be dead and disfigured beyond recognition anyway, assuming anyone ever found his body.

Noper, I must content myself with the so far mythological 70-300mm telephoto/macro. That’s the one I can afford. Yet I am troubled, still. Who among the mere mortals of this humble planet has espied this phenomena, the 70-300mm telephoto/macro? Does this lens exist? Is it for sale, anywhere?

La-de-da. I am fated to await whatever gizmo comes my way. That’s just life. Crumby is just life, too, for Goddess’ Sakes. Oh! If Crumby got a job we could easily afford all these gizmos, even the E-3. Crumby can make lots of money when he’s not crazy. But alas, Crumby is still crazy as a Betsy Bug. Oh well, these gizmos, or their extended utility, may be imaginary anyway.

However, that spelled, I certainly would like to see Crumby get up the gumption to at least make enough money to fix his C 5060WZ. Even though, obviously, Olympus, having foisted a defective camera part, the mode/control dial module, on an ignorant public, should fix Crumby’s camera for free. Unlikely that.

La-de-da. As you may see, the CB has mixed feelings regarding our camera brand of accidental choice for natural history documentation. Olympus, la-de-da, has a sensor, sized to promote telephoto and relatively whopping depth of field. Yet strangely, until the mythological 70-300mm telephoto/macro may have come along, no moderately priced lenses of much account, other than the wondrous, 35mm macro, are extant. Merciful Goddess, wise those effete Buddhists up. Spell those back-sliding rascals. The Goddess commands that you sissy backsliders forget about all this snobbery. Give the regular people, and men like Crumby, camera equipment that is affordable and not easily destructed during a moment of mere hysteria. Give us trusty apparatus, or even apparati (sic) that shall keep us happy and carefree for many moons.
