Friday "After The Thunder" Chatfest
Posted by on Friday, August 24, 2007 in - 6 comments
Don't expect much from me today. What a thunder storm. Like the 1812 Symphony without the orchestra: boom, blam, whammo. What with the many mouths a wailing, not a lot of sleep.

Bees are your most ignored life partner. I heard recently that if bees were to disappear, we'd have about four years to find an alternative or humans would die off. • Last night, right at the deepest part of dusk, I saw an extraordinary thing as I was watching a sugar maple as I listened to the …
