I found a microbe!

Look at it go!

Prime microbe hunting territory:

I plopped a rice grain into the bottle a few days ago and have been impatiently taking samples every few hours since.

Today was the first day I managed to find something. It's weirdly exciting. Somehow I made it all the way to my late 30s before ever touching a microscope. So, I've now entered my "weird old guy" phase where I walk around taking samples of everything "for my research." Social norms be damned. There are tiny things to look at.
