Long story short on the skinny of this nut:
A pal and I had just finished eating calzones under a velvet Elvis painting somewhere near Patagonia, AZ, circa 2010 (paging Lani Hudson...do you read me Lani Hudson??) and we stumbled upon this kickass, cracked-open nut shell. It looks like a heart. It looks like an owl face. Take your pick.
I think it is from a Heartnut tree (I'm not being obvious - it really exists) which is maybe a type of Japanese walnut? But hell, I don't know -- I'm too exhausted to do anymore research. For all I know it's a petrified raccoon heart. I think I've hit the wal...zzzzzzzzzzzzzz...........
Day Twenty grid.
PAAAALLLL!! i'm here! and i just realized the heartnut also looks like an animals nose/nostrils.
