Cleavers. Those tiny prickly seeds that get all over your pant legs and socks. I got them in my hair, crouching down to take their photo.
News:

Earthquake in Peru, a few hours ago. 8 on the Richter scale. (I've been through a few 6s; those are scary enough. I've seen the results, close up, of an 8. Newspaper stories don't do justice to it.) Here, with links to more stories.
Humour: We need some, after the news.
Remember the Doomsday clock? It has run down.
And Elvis laughs!
