My Mascot


I have adopted a personal mascot: the dung beetle. The Egyptians had a sense of humor. Because no matter how much smart people go on about ancient Egyptians comparing the scarab's "load" to the sun, it is really just a poo-ball and everyone knows it. And yes, it is truly an amazing feat for a small animal to move anything that has the potential to crush the animal. I do feel a sense of reverence for it all, but it's also funny.

And laughing helps a lot when you feel like a small little animal that has to move a lot of crap.
