Just think, how important are you really? ........ ;-)

Well the real point is, Mike, all those years of evolution and
improvement have been leading up to..........me!


He could at least have got the age right. (The Earth is about 4.5 billion
years old; the estimates of the time that have passed since the Big Bang
have converged on 13.7 billion years.)

Which goes to show, that no matter which figures you apply, man's presence
on Earth is nothing less than a layer of dust. So I ask again, how

I have no idea what my garden will look like even a million years hence.
It's not anything I will have to worry about.
At the moment it's full of snowdrops and the species crocus are rearing
their heads, it's lovely and gives me hope that spring is not far away.
