Listics

Walking our feet off… occasional rest stops in places like the Hayden Planetarium and the AMNH Imax where I learned about hyperthermophiles. These things are tiny organisms, and I’m wondering if there isn’t a sub-class called microhyperthermophiles. There should be, for the sake of both precision and poetics. In the AMNH bookstore I was able to pass on a $55 volume by Randy Schuh on taxonomy, systematics, and cladistics. While I really needed this book, I was conscious of Golby’s gentle chiding about my book eating habits so I decided to give the consumer thing a rest.

Headed downtown today to meet up with Dean Landsman and learn about pastramiphiles.
