This is the 15th year of continuous daily publication for 365Caws. All things considered, it's likely it will be the last year as it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to find interesting material. However, I hope that I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world with my natural history posts, or encouraged a novice weaver or needleworker. If so, I've done what I set out to do.

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.
