sojourn

[ noun soh-jurn; verb soh-jurn, soh-jurn ]

noun

a temporary stay:

In this case, Ithaca, complete with short stops in town, Cornell and a visit to Woodstock, a place where yours truly shared space with 450.000+ back in August of 1969. 

Enjoy. :)  As an aside, the Argos Inn's a 10 in terms of service and accommodations. :)

Yours truly loves jumping spiders. Tiny, inquisitive and incredibly smart, these engaging little guys captivate me to no end while also being an extremely successful predator to the max. The reason for the jumper's skill set is readily seen by this truly excellent clip describing how this amazing arachnid sees the world indirectly connects to the deep relationship of additive and subtractive color spaces as articulated in a "wonderful" series of blurbs residing in BRT under color. :)

Why talk about this? Well, vision is a prime driver of intelligence as it requires serious brain power to negotiate the 3D space in which all life lives. From the development of vision over 540 million years ago in the Cambrian to today, the capability to see was and is essential for almost all life on this planet to survive.

The stigma (2) of the euglena hides a light-sensitive spot.

Jumpers also hear, very well, without question. 

Science, done well, never disappoints. :)
