Creatures, Semi-Creatures, and Non-Creatures
When you look through the microscope at very small things, the question always arises to which of them can we honor the designation of life. Some of the larger more integrated-looking things don't act alive at all and some of the tiny dots and vague-looking circles appear to be waving greetings at us. Who decides these things?

Don,
I thought you had poisoned the Rotifers cause only a few in the new crowd.
Then at the end was Rudolph Rotifer himself.

I have been avoiding paying too much attention to rotifers. I limit myself to one or two per session.

Don,
I remember that one time you had so many that you could walk across their backs to get to the other edge of the slide!

I think their numbers HAVE gone down, but I'm also looking in different places.

Don,
They say moss for Water Bears.
There is moss here and I probably spent 8 hours all together looking for water bears but I couldn't find any.
