the_rckMystery solved. The car did, in fact, belong to Cordelia’s friend’s parents. They asked Cordelia if it was okay, and she knew we wouldn’t mind but didn’t think to come in and tell me.
We only ended up staying for a little bit of Expo. I was so tired by the time we got there and up the stairs that I couldn’t face spending more time than was necessary to see Cordelia’s group’s presentation (which came about 6:25 and would come again at 6:55). We saw a presentation on panda preservation and one on gray wolf preservation in Michigan. Then we saw a presentation on snakeheads (the only one with a convincing potential solution. I wasn’t sure they’d looked at the likely repercussions of it, but it could work without being horrifically expensive— They want to introduce pike into all the waters where snakeheads are. Pike are native to N. America and potentially better fitted to our ecosystem).
Cordelia’s group talked about the sea lamprey. Cordelia told us afterward that she had wanted to suggest using a substance that the DNR is already using, a poison that works on sea lampreys specifically. One of the others in her group refused to talk about that. He wanted, instead, to say that they were going to come up with something to make all fish in the Great Lakes toxic to sea lampreys without making them toxic to any other creature.
