Alice was not scared. Not at all. Maybe a little bit. But she was determined

to confront the ghost in her house. Alice lived in a farmhouse built in

1921. Al of the floors and door were original; the doors even had

skeleton key locks. But by far the most terrifying part of the house was

the basement. She kept that door locked and ignored the thumps,

crashes, and cries that came from below the house. What made Alice

determined to confront the ghost today was the especially loud crashes

the previous night. She'd gotten no sleep, convinced the ghost was going

t o break through the door and do something horrible. What, she wasn't

sure, but the ghost would do something.

Alice hadn't seen the ghost, but what else could be making loud noises in an old house? The one time she had been down in the basement was after buying the house unseen. Once she saw the shelves with old glass jars, she was a little put off. But what made her keep the door shut and

locked was the abrupt end of the concrete floor halfway across the room. Because nothing good ever happened in a basement with a dirt floor. Alice had seen enough horror movies to know that.

Alice stared at the basement door, trying to gather enough confidence to open it and march down the stairs like she owned the place. Because she did-or she would, once she finished paying her mortgage in 30 years. Alice took a deep breath and yanked the door open. She marched down

the stairs, only to stop abruptly at the bottom. Because she was face to face with not a ghost at all, it was a calico cat, one who looked utterly unimpressed by her brave journey into the basement.

An Ode to Naps

The rain is tapping footsteps on the roof It sounds a lovely dance inside my head This peaceful aura only

serves as proof That I should dodge my work to lie in bed

The pillows pull me in with their behest A trap that I do not want to escape The blankets form a most

enticing nest They wrap me in a shroud that won't undrape

I'm tempted further by my furry friends They've taken o'er the mattress in a pile Oh, how I want to

nestle in with them! But first, I know that I must work awhile

I promise, bed, I will be back for you I'll surely nap before the day is through

later served in Congress, published a map that is still crucial almost 160 years later. His map showed all

soil conditions and any underground water that still flows through a building site, potentially

undermining foundations.

Alice had seen enough horror movies to know that.

Mourning geckos (Lepidodactylus lugubris) are truly a unique species. This gecko is small, as it only

grows up to 10 cm or 4 inches. With a range of Hawaii, the South Pacific islands, and Central and South

America these geckos have one of the largest ranges among reptiles.

reproduce through parthenogenesis, where the mother essentially clones herself to create her offspring.

However, their genes have the ability to recombine to allow genetic variation and mutation. Like many

other geckos, mourning geckos lay two eggs at a time several times a year. The eggs incubate for 65 to

103 days.
