I give you the elvis:

1. Take one piece of sliced bread
2. Apply peanut butter
3. Cover with sliced banana
4. Cover with crispy bacon
5. Drizzle honey
6. Top with one piece of sliced bread

It has been said that the King himself invented this sandwich after regaining his appetite following a two-week benzedrine binge.

Argiope aurantia

It was a dragon fly that caught my eye and brought me to the area; I was following him around trying to get a picture when I found the spiders. The dragon fly got away, and luckily the spiders aren’t as tricky to photograph.

I found three black-and-yellow argiopes. The things are apparently common in North and Central America, but this was my first encounter with one in 26 years.
