5/17: two things

I had a 7-hour online workshop today, and I was a little nervous about getting back in the mode of interfacing with folks from work again.  For some small groupwork I got matched with two professors who were so good to talk shop with; it made all the difference!

When I walked down the hill to get the mail after the workshop was over, I noticed a bug I had never seen before.  Once back inside, I Googled "Arkansas insect black with yellow shoulder piece and black dot" and the internet immediately came back with the identification:  the American carrion beetle.
