@Innesfan will probably like this. One of my daughters works with librairies, and yesterday she texted me a photo of a book she found deep in the stacks of a research library, a 1951 edition of Innes' fish book. She's picked it up to reshelve it, opened it to look and randomly hit the page introducing Corydoras.
She liked it, and then looked at the killie info.
She's put it on her desk so she can read it at lunch when she has free time, but she said the 2 pages she looked at were delightfully written by a person clearly enjoying talking about his subject.
She also said the little she'd read was pretty well the same info people shared on reddit, and she expected to enjoy learning a whole lot on her next few lunches.
Running? Part of why I became such a fishnerd is that I was a very sick kid who missed a lot of school, and while I could sprint and play baseball (and hockey as a goalie), I could never run distances. So I am going to wait til every footprint doesn't fill with melt water, and do some short, one km pant and stumbles through the deer tracks out back. Then, once my leg allows me to run like a guy
@Back in the fold would see falling behind in his rear view mirror, or like an old golden retriever, I'll start briskly walking on a coastal trail across the road - it's only 4 km but it's up and down through ravines. My neighbour, who did iron man things til he was 75, used it for his running. I plan to walk fast, instead of ambling through it stopping to look at the waves, moss and bugs as I do now.
I'm writing this to shame myself if I don't do it. If I tried today, I'd hit ice on the first steep hill down and have to grab trees to keep from falling into the ocean.
