  1. 16 thousand dollars a gallon for some blue blood that can detect toxins down to one part per TRILLION. Whoa.

  2. On a cross-country road trip to visit relatives on the east coast, I found an empty horseshoe crab shell.
    I left it, barely visible in the bushes at the Monarch Pass rest area on the Continental Divide, for the amusement of future travelers.

    Some evolutionary biologist will someday look at it and come up with another Darwin golden moment: these creatures evolved from Rocky Mountain Oysters (he’s heard of them) when Colorado was covered in an ocean. Then the ocean dried up due to ancient volcanoes and a huge meteor impact and the crabs all died off. He’ll conclude, against all evidence that the crab must be a fossil because how could a crab swim all the way to Colorado from the Atlantic or Pacific ocean? Brilliant!
