365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.

Takeover
Day 130: "The Daleks have taken over Lichenopolis. The human will be exterminated! Exterminate! Exterminate!"
I am glad that I was not a child when the Daleks made their debut. I had enough trouble with the robot from "The Day the Earth Stood Still" plaguing my dreams. The Daleks would have sent me into permanent hiding. Even now, I find them one of the most menacing villains of the sci-fi genre. Many Whovians will argue that the Weeping Angels are more fearsome, but I do not find them so. A Dalek wouldn't even give you time to blink before wiping you from the pages of time.
