Those "more productive"s are just a burden we have to bear, right? If they knew how much of a pain they are... Sorry. Couldn't help myself.

jpmac, Long time, no see! Howdie, to you! Did you ever go to the Arboretum in Arcadia and to the D'scanso Gardens? Is that a dumb question? Holly

I rode my bike around the fence of Huntington Gardens many times; and thru the campus of Cal Tech. (I had an Osmosis 1300.) A prof at Cal Tech called my house one day asking for me, by name. Hee hee. How many people here have had that happen? (Uh oh. Probly a lot.) He had found my baseball mitt. Even though he was Cal Techie, the fact my name and number were on it helped. I was impressed, and for some reason scared, that the Huntington Gardens had 1) the original of a painting on mommy's wall (Blueboy and Pinkie), and 2) a lily pond in the front. There were dragonflies and waterflowers, and I'd never seen stuff growing in water, and not many dragonflies hanging around in plain sight. (Later, somewhere else, I was bitten by one, and that ended our...relationship. Until Lalique.) It scared and thrilled me in a mysterious way, like, Big Universe. And the Succulent Garden is flat out, unashamed to say, succulent. And in our third grade tour, I saw my first "Moonbridge", the red one, and wondered about the practicality of those orientals and their feet. I wish I had that kind of intelligence now.
