Meanwhile I have phone calls to make, formal stuff to write, less formal stuff to write, and trivial stuff like fun with horses I would write if I didn't have the other stuff to write. Sigh. Maybe I should write a CW song with a refrain of "Stuff to write, stuff to write, I always have stuff..."

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t. Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8wM...

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

The fruits of Nyssa are drupes—fleshy fruits with a single, seed-enclosing stone (like a cherry). This is N. ogeche. The fossilized stones (endocarps) of Nyssa are known from Europe until ca. 5–10 MyBP. Nyssa died out there, but still lives in E. Asia & C. & N. Amer. #Nyssaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱
