I know, two posts in one week! But I *have* to tell you: the lilies are in bloom. I love a lily. They’re my favorite flower, but the Cahaba River sports one beautiful one in particular—the Cahaba Lily. Known as a form of spider-lily or a shoal lily, the Cahaba Lily (Hymenocallis coronaria) is technically a lily in name only and is also found elsewhere in select places like Georgia and South Carolina, but the largest stand of which is located in the Cahaba at the Cahaba River National Wildlife Refuge.

An amphibian of a sort you’ve probably never heard of Provides parental care by Offering highly nutritious skin for her babies to eat, and Making something highly analogous to mammal’s milk, which is Solicited by the babies when they click and chirp, and then, The babies collect their mother’s milk from around and within her cloaca.

One of the most humbling experiences in my life was my first day as chapter leader. I walked around and people bombarded me with questions, very few of which I could answer. In fact, the only time I found relief back then was when I entered the classroom. Holy crap, I thought, I really know what I’m doing right now.

Some of you are going to love this and some of you are going to hate it: Amy Wax is back on The Glenn Show. Amy is easily one of my most controversial guests, and it’s easy to see why. She speaks her mind, she doesn’t try to sugarcoat her views, and she refuses to back down.
