And sometimes you get eaten.

Good stuff.

That is a great read, that book. It gave me a sense of peace and cadence when I read it.

Yes, you are correct. And yet, some spikes of some plants have both, being either gynaecandrous or androgynous.

I do believe that I did notice the same thing around my area. It was limited to the extreme shoots. I was with Ted Gordon in mid april and he predicted this because everything is about 2 weeks early in the bloom time.

Okay. I see now, its not what I thought it was, but it is interesting. Fly poison has those long grass-like leaves, so its not that.

Nice stuff Tom. 1.) A monocot, mayhaps a lady slipper orchid. 2.) Hudsonia ericoides. 3.) Really cool. Like to see it some day. (Tom, see my PM). 4.) Looks like Carex folliculata.

Seems right to me too. PB and Gipsie, on the fringes of the pines?

HUGE! Mark that down, I'd love to see it!

What problem is that?

Good spot Jeff. I now agree with that perception.

I don't think it happens unless the snake has no time to feel threatened, as probably happened here. Once he bit her, he was still agitated, so naturally he'd be rattling away. By the way, I thought that rattle sounded awful loud, like maybe he added it to the soundtrack later.

Hmmm. I wonder...if the pine pollen gathered together into large clumps from the rains, and then sat in the water in the hot sun, would it begin to ferment?

Real good Scott. You must have loved Rizzo.

I'm not missing the point at all. What's next, a 22 rifle shot in the back of the head for running from the cops with a grin on your face? The punishment does not fit the crime. Even the Phillies Organization agrees with that.

You are one cool guy Bill. I wish you could come with us. How about you join us for a mile or two sometime near the end? We'll make it easy to intersect your car, then we'll drive you back to it.

:rofl: What, usually, are his intentions?

The kid was only 17. I don't think I'd like my son getting tazed for pulling a stunt, no matter how much of a knuckleheaded thing I thought it was. People have died from getting tazed (sure there were usually aggravating factors that led to the death, but nonetheless).

Applesauce! Break a law and get tasered? I disagree. It all depends upon the situation. He was just being a giddy fool, they could have just ran him off the field into the waiting arms of a few more beefy cops.
