Thank you Al and Tony. As a young man I once wondered if one of the aromas I associated with spring was the thawing of frozen pet poo as this was in the time I was unaware that collecting of such was fashionable. I was stunned by the milkweed that looked like a cactus. How they figured that out must be quite the story.

Thanks Tony and Al for once again chronicling one of the disappearing phenomena of our changing earth. In a few decades we may not be able to go visit Chicago and see the gray sludge for ourselves, so this video will hopefully serve as an invaluable record to any of our potential descendants and/or future alien archeologists.

Yo Tony, the disk of hairs on the Stipagrostis ciliata is an ant barrier to protect the seeds kinda like the things they put on bird feeders to keep the squirrels off.

That grey slush part strangely made me miss Chicago. The Namibia area stuff- I watch another channel of some guys who constantly rescue seals from fishing and other human trash that gets wrapped around them or sometimes even tangled through their mouths and around their bodies. Ironically those same ships and trawlers trashing the sea and decimating the fishes' populations can be seen in the background. Yes, I used the word fishes rather than the typically accepted fish, purposely.

good work Tony and Al great day for grey slush especially on Ashland ours has condoms and cigarette butts in it . If you really want to see dog poo sludge go over to d'angelo park on ida b wells dr. There is mounds of it a foot high really aromatic especially for the residents of those 3000 per month apartments next to it. and as a bonus you get to smell all that toxic fumes from the traffic comming off the eisenhower. Those are some great plants from africa ever see an african strangler? i mean in africa .Keep up those great money shots and make taylor street proud.

[🌼Patreon Early Access] 🤣 We have it here in upstate NY too... quite treacherous for people on bicycle or foot if the sidewalk cleaning machine wasn't able to clear it all such as this last ice storm that we just had... I saw somebody with an electric wheelchair trying to use the sidewalk and got stuck. I don't even know why they would attempt it anyone could clearly see that it's barely navigable even on foot. I have a fat bike with big huge 5 inch wide studded tires, and even I resigned myself to the dangers of the street shoulder... there was no way those little dinky wheels were ever going to do anything but get stuck in a frozen footprint.

Saw this on Patreon but it took a few days to formulate my appreciation of Al's commentary on Chicago gunk. Living in the south now, I'm amazed to find actual white, though fake, snow. How I don't miss climbing over grey heaps of funk for months of the year! Thanks for your service Al! Found another CPBBD fan in one of my on-line gardening groups. There's a group I can share these with!!!

I remember all that time I spent avoiding looking at the sand, exhaust, clumps of frozen dog poop in the garbage strewn gutters of early spring in Chicago. Your two are so funny. I live in northern Wisconsin now and we get dumped on with instead of Lake Michigan inspired snow but Lake Superior lake effect snow. Not very crowded here. So, snow stays pretty white.

Seeing these strange life-forms is bliss-inducing and I'd call the wonderment over the beauty of nature, from the very largest to the very tiniest, as spiritual as it is scientific. The volume of Al's videos tend to be so low I tend to use a equalizer to boost it, then the volume on Joey's videos tend to be high so I decrease it a bit . Similarity, one is as much an expert of trash as the other is an expert on treasure? ...

Tony, thank you for this really nice t shirt. Im keeping it for a dress shirt. A little about my back ground. Its in agriculture,forestry, and aquaculture. I grew up on a small family Nicotenacia farm up here as obsurd as that sounds these days.i was helping to look after row crops when i was ten years old. Thats a life time ago for me now it seems. The gateway into the world of nature came to me threw the Salvelinus fontinalis. I find it very interesting seeing the issues with agriculture and the natural environment 8n other places besides here. Its really bad here, all someone like you would have to do is look at a topo of my area. All the best to you and i hope you dont mind me taking in your material, im learning alot Chow

Thanks for the gomphocarpus footage you filmed up by the Nambian border from this South Africa Series. I had no idea asclepias wasn't the only game in town. Maybe they are related but botanists split the two more recently to reflect some genetic differences. Who knows, 10 years down the road gomphocaprus is gone and its just asclepias...

14:50 looks halfway in between a poppy and a thistle 19:02 that looks like a seabed, that plant probably was a sponge or a sea anenome a long time ago.. the flowers look like datura, or a stinkhorn mushroom 22:21 that looks like a limestone brick behind that possible obsidian, straight lines from drill holes or blasting cap? 23:17 Ephedra relative? (Euphorbia?! Pencil cactus?!) Different flowers mean different things but I have noticed yellow flowers have alkaloid presence a lot.. also that wax could be yeast, which is another indicator. And slightly different soil types can cause a lot of this broad biome adaptation..I think, and would explain why surrounding plants look similar, though seemingly unrelated. There's probably a lot of phosphorus in the soil from fish guts. Looks pretty rudimentary on an evolutionary scale, the area is probably just now showing signs of life after being a barren decomposing wasteland for a long time.
