I just ran a 5km with my wife. It is here now -3degr. C. The coming days temperatures will go up again.

jorgemotalmeida 03 December 2010 19:41:23

Nearly -1 ºC here in Viseu. Very atypical temperature for this region.

Daniel, I would like to add that there are many more species of other families with the characteristic, which you mention.

rvanderweele 03 December 2010 19:22:20

No, a family is not really characterized or defined by a single character. Most Sphaeroceridae have certainly the first segment of hind tarsi short and swollen, but it is one of many characteristics

daniel86 03 December 2010 18:53:50

question!... in Sphaeroceridae, the first segment of hind tarsi short, swollen, shorter than second segment, is the characteristic that it defines the family?

Listen buddy, if you manage to update this every day until May 10th, you have at least my respect!

Ah Bushmills, good times. Happy birthday Tony.

Tony Irwin 02 December 2010 00:16:35

Thanks to everyone for their good wishes. Just time for a small Bushmills before bed!

rvanderweele 01 December 2010 23:40:32

But, I do not have the intention to upset Tony. Tony, in bed I am singing aloud: happy birthday to you...etc etc etc

rvanderweele 01 December 2010 23:39:11

One small request, on my birthday, please, do not send me all the best wishes. I know the intention is so good, but it makes me so tired......
