Yesterday I was extremely happy because the weather was cooperated with me. I was busy cleaning the mess outside (dry leaves) blowing it away from front door and putting it inside the plastic garbage bag. I started doing this thing from morning and was finished about 12:00 O clock noon. I didn't feel any exhaustion because I enjoy the weather and I was really planned to do it for a long time and yesterday was the perfect day for me to move my butt out on the couch.
The weather for today by the way is way to far from yesterday. Fortunately, we had 80's yesterday then the weather dramatically fall since midnight throught the day, we're in the 30's this morning. According to the weather forecast, the weather for today will reach to the highest 40's hmmmm. Can you imagine how weired the Texas weather is? Well, nature is always like this sometimes it brings you happiness, but most of the time it affects your mood when the sun covered by the thick clouds along with chilly wind that dominates the surrounding.

ICE WORM


I though that worm is only survive in a dry, wet, warm environment, but as I watch this a documentary title, “Extreme Alaska; Denali Park” I found out that worm is exist in this type of environment. This creature called “Icy worm” they look like an earthworm and survive under thick part of glacier ice in Alaska They can also found in Washington, Britain Columbia, and Oregon and any glacier part of the world. Their survival depends on their environmental temperature. Ice worms retreat underneath the ice before dawn Enzyme in ice worms have very low optimal temperatures, and can be denatured at even a few degrees above 0 degree C . When ice worms are exposed to temperatures as low as 5°C, their membranes melt and the worm itself liquefies. Ice grows several centimeters long, and they can be black, brown, and white in color. These creature has maladaptive behavior in terms of temperature, I hope they will flourish and still protected despite of the danger effect of global warming.
