only saw two of these flowers...i think they are rare...at least here
rained a few times this week and if you want to see the plants in their prime now is the time
more atrocities in gaza..."fog of war" my ass..
.found some good stuff on you tube.."Malankovitch Cycle" is a good thing to know about as it explains why the earths temperature changes due to "eccentricity", "tilt" and "elongated orbit"...as proposed by Serbian Milutin Milankovitch around 1920...also i read about epigenetic modifications...when i heard linsays explanation about how the spider-tailed horned viper evolved a tail to look like a spider i thought the resulting evolutionary changes seemed too extensive for a slow transformation...since i have always been a bit of a Lamarkian i seek other than the regular route to changes...
watched "Cat People" last night (1982) some of this movie was shot in New Orleans and some of it was shot in the zoo...i was at the zoo in 1984 and only recognized the elephant exhibit...but most of the "new" zoo was around in 1982...never saw the beautiful red-head though...anyhow i could accept most anything in the movie except the scene where ms. kinski disrobes to take a stroll in the marsh...the mosquitoes would have left here bereft of blood within minutes...
"Great actions, the lustre of which dazzles us are represented by politicians as the effects of deep design; whereas they are commonly the effects of caprice and passion. Thus the war between Augustus and Anthony, supposed to be owing to their ambitions to give a master to the world, arose probably from jealousy." Rochefoucald
