"Mille voix" by Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe & Ariel Kalma. Morning Origami Tue Jan 14 with DJ AskTheQuestion on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

good morning.

hello Dale, hello all. Nice to be with you this morning!

this grey city is a trip!

I'm glad you liked it too! A great weird

we have so many critters fighting for supremacy in our bodies, it's crazy.

And helping us too! Competition and also raucous joy, in its way

Love your show. Is yours just a temporary hiatus, I hope? Science remains the great sanity purveyor the world always needs.

Thank you, Mark! Yes, I will be on the air here and there through the spring, and hopefully back full time in the summer. I am glad you find my show helpful for your sanity!

is this why the frozen ice in my bird bath looks like a small model of mountains and valleys?

I am so curious what you mean! Maybe it is related. The surface is just uneven?

yes, it never freezes like an ice rink would, it's always incredibly rough. it could have to do with all the contamination in the water, dirt, seeds, bird poo etc.

DJ AskTheQuestion, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your show for the past season. I’m saddened you won’t be on to keep me company on my morning commute, but I look forward to catching you on the air in the future!

Maybe it freezes in the wind, with ripples building up on points that happen to be higher? or the freezing and thawing cycles lead to buildup in some areas?

Big Jarret, that is so nice to hear! Thank you so much for your regular listenership!

i once read that window glass is not a solid, it's a slow-moving liquid with an incredibly long 'relaxation time.' hence why old windows have wavy glass.

well, that shoots that down. and i don't have a billion years to see if it proves itself out.

Who does? Solids and liquids are a lie but some things move so slowly that you can pretty much trust them

@ DJ AskTheQuestion I'll add my thanks & kudos! I've especially enjoyed and benefited from your installments on invasive species, since I write about the issue(s) a lot for local newspapers.

I'm so glad that you've been a part of the show, Richard! Thank you for tuning in. I'm glad we can act in harmony to promote native wildlife.

My prediction for the controversial plant of the week is eucalyptus :0

dang im gonna start thinking about what i want to plant this year

i like putting kitchen waste in the ground to see what happens. the celery stump turns into this wonderfully tall spindly plant that caterpillars like to munch on.

would ike to attempt grafting as well as i have a camperdown elm in my yard and that's the only way it can come to exist.

Eucalyptus is also good! I always find the scent mysterious, I'm not sure in a good way or not

That's exactly my feeling too: I always feel too late for seed starting! somehow

Then i forget to water t hem....

The amount volunteer plants I get from t he compost, happily growing next to my struggling seedlings, is always fun but bewildering

Gonna miss waking up to your show, DJ ATQ! I'm looking forward to hearing you again later this year :]

Aww thanks TAndy! I have loved doing this show, I am looking forward to more science on the radio soon :)

Thanks for all the music and science segments. Wishing you success in your experiments ⚡️💥

im gonna miss this show so much, im happy to hear you'll be on in the summer. Hopefully we will have updates on how you and your plants and expirments are doing!

good topics....good music. i'll miss the show as well. good luck on your endeavors!

Thanks again. Best wishes for your plasma research!

So glad you all have been here with me! Cheers to all of you and see you all again soon :)

thank you for everything!!!0

Thanks for the lovely Tuesday mornings!

:)
