With winter solstice rapidly approaching, the SCUM ventured out on the Sunnyside trail in hopes of capturing sunrise. The clouds prevented seeing the sun, but Robert Hannon, one of our wayward journalists, joined us today, so we needed to document that.

Later, we found LOL ornament #9 (our 4th one), and once again Robert posed in front of today’s SCUM ooze:

You’ve probably seen a herd of cattle, a flock of sheep, a pod of dolphins, a school of fish, or a pack of wolves. But, when was the last time you encountered an ooze of SCUM?

Thanks to Byron Broda for coming up with an appropriate collective noun for us.
