I know that you aren't reading this Dave, which is good because it might
be embarrassing for you but the UC IPM suggests
Biological Control, Cultural Control, and Physical Control before they
mention Chemical Control. But then, as we've seen, this is only to
protect the plant from cosmetic damage. You know, you might be better
off giving your lemon trees a little fish emulsion instead. Too bad you
won't read this sage advice.

Now, are you truly gone?

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
Pretending that I'm doing well
My need is such; I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no one can tell.

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
A drift in a world of my own
I play the game; but to my real shame
You've let me to dream all alone.

Too real is this feeling of make believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal.

Oh yes I'm the great pretender
Just laughing and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not; you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around.

Too real is this feeling of make believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

Yes I'm the great pretender
Just laughing and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that I'm not a clown
