Ahem. What can I say. Haven't been eating properly I suppose - so unbeknownst to me, the carbs have been making a bid for freedom.

Kind of cute though.. starkly revealing the drive that all life has, to survive, to grow, to create it's own succession. My only ponder is why this particular high-order mammal seems to exhibit almost none of the above.
