“White Apes: These are terrible monsters with a cunning almost equal to human.  Many seem to have a rough tribal organization, and those that do always use stone (or some other form of) clubs. . . They infest the abandoned cities of Barsoom, and they are also found in many other places.”  The 6-limbed white apes of Barsoom were said to be a favorite monster of Gary Gygax, eventually reappearing as D&D’s girallon. (Greg Bell, Warriors of Mars by Gygax and Blume, TSR, 1974)

#swampwalk quarantine isolation day 367 [1 year, 2 days]

Happy Ides of March!

Weather a bit cooler but still balmy at upper 50s F.

#bogsafari counts – 3 squirrels, a big ol’ fluffy dog (samoyed?), and some humans well masked and distanced on the way to the swamp. Once I arrived, there was a lot of bird activity. A cardinal, three turkey vultures, lots of robins, misc little brown birds. As mentioned earlier there was a small raft of buffleheads in the bay. So many peeper frogs calling out near the water!

The swamp itself is showing more life, redbud trees and tufts of grass popping up, the water has multicolored algae. Not too buggy yet, hopefully the frogs and birds will keep them under some control.
