Don't get mad, Wordwind, at this very moment etaoin and I are testing the communication apparatus necessary to send the proper pictures. Meanwhile as a lesson in patience and a reminder of the the slow grind of the wheels of science, here is a story that will have a direct bearing on my story that took over 30 years for my friend Prescott to garner his measure of fame. Prescott has since wasted 30 years of his life by being a pediatrician and a Professor of Pediatrics at UAB while waiting for his great egg discovery to float to the top of slow-grinding Paleontology. But finally, last year, his great find was at last recognised and today oft times Prescott tours the country with his egg.

The point to retain in Prescott's story is how the egg got to be buried in the sea.

Opps...Andy's horn blows outside and I am sitting at my computer in my socks.
Later...

Thanks, et', for posting these and, Milo, you have got to be very excited about this find. Thanks so much for sharing all of this adventure here on AWAD, perhaps the best adventure of any of us here this past year!

Ah yes Wordwind, I remember when I was a very little girl, our house caught on fire.
I'll never forget the look on my father's face as he gathered me up
in his arms and raced through the burning building out to the pavement.
I stood there shivering in my pajamas and watched the whole world go up in flames.
And when it was all over I said to myself, "Is that all there is to a fire"

Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is.

No Wordwind, this is not all there is. But I will have the rest of the story posted here by mid-week. I promise. It is hard getting the schematics just right. - Milo

Yeah, Milo, there's enough confusion about whether you're a boy or a girl as it is what with various members saying that you're a girl, when you're not. You've now advanced in Milolateralness to Milolateralmythology and that's a Milomouthful.

In reply to:

Will it be Eudibamus mili or will you go with E. neptis?


Shouldn't that be Eudibamus milonis?

But yes, congratulations Milo. Well done.

Eudibamus milonis

I thought you just went with the genitive singular of the name of the discoverer.

It is, of course, at the option of the discoverer, which is why I suggested, not knowing her name, neptis, genitive singular of 'granddaughter'.
