At the time, I didn't know much about Tree of Knowledge beyond this insert. Looking back at it, it reminds me a lot of other organizations I was familiar with in Florida.

I'd love to see it, it's right next door, but that's a trip that will need to wait until after I permanently move.

It's a plot device, something of a deus ex machina, yet it helps make the franchise more than just the xenomorphs. I appreciate its ability to direct attention to science, discovery, and creation.

My students today were coloring maps of land surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. One of them asked if she needed to color every Greek island. Fair question. There are so many, each beautiful with a story to tell.

I love seeing wooden boats like the ones shown. It's not too often you see that material used today.

I grew up around those ducks. At the time, I thought they were so ugly compared to the mallards I'd seen in media. Now, I see them as a regional constant, and I can't imagine those places without them.
