Sedate and archaic, a twilight-frilled haze Walks over the meadows like rolled-out centuries Quivering in sprightly welcome. ....................................................... ........................................................ Trees probing the shrilly sensitive sunset Like little, laced nightmares leaning Upon a scarlet breast; Trees sprinkling their stifled mockery Upon the blue tomb of the air; Trees, are you silenced beings Whitening into the winding paradise Of old loves seeking a second death? And has this archaic, twilight-frilled haze Moulded me to your semblance? ~ "Minna" ~ Maxwell Bodenheim

Through winter-time we call on spring, And through the spring on summer call, And when abounding hedges ring Declare that winter's best of all; And after that there s nothing good Because the spring-time has not come- Nor know that what disturbs our blood Is but its longing for the tomb. William Butler Yeats

Men argue. Nature acts. —Voltaire

The creation of today’s domestic tomato was skilled feat of plant breeding, but one that requires many generations to accomplish. A wild species or race bred into the domestic stock also carries with its baggage of less desirable genes that reduce yield and quality. Breeders must delete these traits through repeated backcrossing, mating the hybrids back to the domestic strains, in a way that preserves only the desirable genes of both domestic and wild forms in the breeding stock. Finally conventional hybridization can be accomplished solely among species and strains similar enough to be bred together, as in the case of multiple parents of ‘Lycopersicon esculentium” Now, however, traditional selective breeding can be shot-circuites. New methods of genetic engineering have made it possible to transfer genes directly, excising them from the chromosomes of one species and placing them into the chromosomes of another species without hybridization of the entire genomes. . . .

Jogging is very beneficial. It's good for your legs and your feet. It's also very good for the ground. It makes it feel needed. ~Charles Schulz
