Sometimes it is aggravating when IT “reads” my posts and sends me links and ads that “they” think I will like (or buy).

The revery alone will do, If bees are few. – Emily Dickinson Charles Darwin called the emergence of the angiosperms (flowering plants) an abominable mystery.

“You know what music is?
