Well, Kat- that's what this blog is all about. I am so glad you see the point immediately. What we intend to do is dig up the filthiest, scummiest reality of life in the corners of our fine country. Yes, this may make us seem "negative" but I like to think of it as real and open. There is a certain positivity to the exposure of the negative. Yes- this is a cathartic blog. So - cathart yourself silly!
Dig up? Why bother when the scum just falls in your lap? Actually, I have some between my teeth after a day of trying to grin and bear a wade through the pond.
This could get good! But I don't know where to wade.... shallow or deep end! The water here can run hot and cold and hot and cold. Just when ya think it's safe to go back in it can get luke warm and kinda mucky. Just the same, anyone else gotta rinse some eggshells off of their feet?
You know, if this keeps up, besides the wind farm, we may have a bio-fuel resource (in the pond scum) like no other!! There is gold in them there hills (not an intended slight to Golden Hills whatsoever).
Pond scum has been around for some 4 billion years, and it’s still going strong. That would make it a very successful life form. What can we learn from our earliest relatives about how to adapt to changing conditions of life on Hatch? Answer: Simply float on calm waters and don’t make waves and your species will live for ever.
We have only just begun and I already feel like I need a shower!

Hmm - I like the idea of "make your life work by acting like cyanobacteria" Kat - good analogy!
