"When you're walking home tonight and some great homicidal maniac comes after you with a bunch of loganberries, don't come crying to me!"

Happiness is happening upon an unseen Monty Python episode, when you thought you'd seen them all.

"The great advantage of the tiger in unarmed combat is that he eats not only the raspberry-laden foe but also the raspberries. The tiger however does not relish the peach. The peach assailant should be attacked with a crocodile."

In other news, I'll be mailing out the morning glory seeds to everyone who requested them tomorrow. Notes about germination and cultivation (from some seed catalog): "Seed has a very hard seed coat and better results will be obtained if the seed is soaked in lukewarm water for 24 hours and then planted in warm (60 to 70 degrees) soil. Morning Glories prefer average soil, moderate watering, and no excessive fertilizing. A southern exposure will add to more continuous blooming." All of that has proved to be true for me, except I don't think the soil has to be *quite* that warm for germination. Let me know how they do!


In other other news, for the first time in months I've come up with an entirely new and wonderful (hopefully) kernel of a poem. Tally Ho!
