as long as we're kvetching

Lists don't work reliably. Places don't work reliably either.
No further interest in these features.
Just don't even get me STARTED on Identotron

Note to self: create a playa project

There needs to be one. I've been finding really interesting species associated with Llano Estacado playas, salinas, and particularly their margin habitats. Alkaline and salt-loving stuff.
Doubt anyone else will do this. So I should do this. Maybe over the winter, when observations slow down

Would it be more useful to cinclude all playa species, or just the playa-unique ones? The latter would be hard to manage. A compromise would be playa-representative species, but that's rather subjective.

Salinas are a different ballgame. Should they be lumped in with intermittent playas, or given their own project? How to categorize a body of water? That too may be problematic
