Goodbye For Now

[Vin]

If you ever get close to this area again let me know. I would love to throw back a cold one with you. I really appreciate the folks on here that knew me in some really dark times and overlooked some inexcusably poor behavior. You are one of those people. Anyway... Stay away from fish heads and blood pudding... ;-)

... and balut!

... and balut!

Thanks for that I will certainly check out "Gnarly Branches."
I always thought that book was by Dan Robinson, not about Dan Robinson and his trees!

Two of my better written contributions to bonsai literature referenced on this thread:

. . . and some musings in the Tea House forum, as I recall, about toads and chimps - the study of which, BTW, may find parallel symbiotic pairings in the Philippines, if I understand correctly.
