“Black yogurt”

Crested dwarf iris (Iris cristata), if I don’t miss my guess, from our walk on the 20th. Someone (surprisingly, not me) found the wildflower ID book (thanks, luv)….

There are all kinds of words and phrases I know something about, but not much. Or, it turns out, not much at all.

Today, I learned that bunker fuel, which I knew as the stuff that fuels the Great Lakes tankers, has the consistency of yogurt. Ick.

And who knew that shipping produces twice the carbon dioxide emissions as aviation? I can’t tell if that includes military aviation; but, still!
