Good morning. 🦎🦎🦎

Teacup Hypothesis
Did you ever ride the teacups at Disneyland? Me? I’m not sure. I know I went there once as a child and saw the teacups spinning like pastel whirlwinds, but I don’t recall actually getting on the ride. We were there for the Matterhorn, I think—but that too is a wisp in memory, a snow-globe shaken and faded with time.
It’s one of those things: you feel certain you’ve got a grasp on the past, but there’s always the chance the memory is wrong. Our minds are tricky. Hmm... I could’ve said “brains” there, in the not-hungry zombie sense.
Is there a difference between brain and mind? My take: the brain is the hardware, the mind is the software—or maybe the app. The brain runs the body’s systems, while the mind handles thought, ideas, dreams, fears, memories, and self-awareness. There’s overlap, of course, and I’d argue you can’t have one without the other. Except—there’s no thinking without a brain. But you could still have a non-thinking brain. Me thinks.
So what happens when the brain stops functioning completely—when it dies? Logically, the mind, the consciousness, vanishes. Poof. Gone. Not here anymore. Doesn’t exist. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
But... is there more? It’s comforting to think so, even if it’s not logical—unless you’re in a science fiction story where minds are freed from the burden of biology and float off into the cosmos. Anything is possible, I suppose. Maybe that’s where belief steps in—to help us embrace the illogical with open arms.
“Our memory is a more perfect world than the universe: it gives back life to those who no longer exist.” — Guy de Maupassant
“Memory is not frozen, it's very much alive—it moves, it changes.” — Louis Malle
“Our reality is an infinite battle between what happened and what we want to remember.” — Haruki Murakami

A diving bell
A water #anole blows an air bubble, a technique that allows it to dive underwater and stay there for about 20 minutes as a way of avoiding land-based threats such as birds and snakes. Just 4-8cm long, the Costa Rica lizards have been called “the chicken nuggets of the forest” due to their susceptibility to predators.

We usually have dozens of green anole #lizards around the house but this year I’m not seeing many at all. Then the other day I saw this big Cuban brown #anole (Anolis sagrei) sitting on the front bushes. According to wiki this is an #invasivespecies that “is capable of expanding its range very quickly, and both outcompetes and consumes many species of native lizards, like the green anole.” So this may be why so few green anoles around this year.

Anoles are super cool.

Another shot of my hibernating Carolina anole. When she first came inside, she stayed brown but more recently she's decided to go with green.
She came in before the hard freeze so she's been snoozing on this plant for weeks but I've noticed her blinking and moving around a bit more, so figure she'll be leaving soon.
I think she thinks she has gone completely unnoticed!

This sweet hibernating lizard has turned out to be a very restful & inspirational snoozing guest... if only all house guests were so trouble-free
She's starting to wake up tho... guess she'll be leaving for the great outdoors soon...
