In the previous blog post, read by many, there is a reference to the CocoBOP, also call the Coco Butt--a move where Bobo Brazil smashed his head into that of his opponent's. This man, called the "Jackie Robinson of Professional Wrestling" broke the color line in fake, TV, staged, totally fake wrestling. He was not Brazilian. He was born in Little Rock, and established a famous restaurant in Benton Harbor, Mi. He died from a series of strokes, which is the opposite of ironic. He was father to six children. He was not a plant taxonomist but he could kick the crap out of Linnaeus.

On the Cicada, from Fabre's Book of Insects
by Your Friend Jean Henri Fabre (I answered my own question and thought you might enjoy this part of the answer too.)
"...Years of hard work in the darkness, and a month of delight in the sun--such is the Cicada's life. We must not blame him for the noisy triumph of his song. For ... years he has dug the earth with his feet, and then suddenly he is dressed in exquisite raiment, provided with wings that rival the bird's, and bathed in heat and light! What cymbals can be loud enough to celebrate his happiness, so hardly earned, and so very, very short?"
Please, please add a new note to this blog!!! I've put it on "favorites" and my mouse is not happy with getting the same note every day.
New comment; As I drive in TN the golden rod colors the roadside yellow. And we are getting duller colored leaves. Isn't it time for another season?
Dan,
I googled you and found your blog.
I have a flower from my garden I'd like your help in iding. I scanned it and wanted to email it to you but don't have your email. Can you send me your email address please?
