Say what you like. I am not old.

Now I'm really, really puzzled: Where did I say anything about your age,
or impute a heightened level of A(crank)? I've been well aware of the
limitations of cyberspace, ever since the first BBS programs ran on a
dial-in line on a Commodore 64, and it hasn't gotten any better.
As for the Beta name game, I am not a botanist, nor do I play one on TV.
You now seem to have chard as a sub species, which is getting close to
"variety" or "landrace." I notice that even the scientific types who
determine these things keep changing their minds, much to the dismay of
nursery folk.
I'm sure the "blocking the view" bit is a reference missing from my
archives; not to worry, the biggest hat I have is a cloth fisherman's
hat-think Walter Matthau.
I gotta go plant something....leaving for the SSE campout next week, and
I'm way behind as usual.

Is that the Society for Sensible Explanations, or Seed Saver's Exchange?
Bring back a doggie bag of knowledge in any event.

Mad dog Republicans to the right. Democratic spider webs to the left. True conservatives, and liberals not to be found anywhere in the phantasmagoria
of the American political landscape.

America is not broke. The country is awash in wealth and cash.
It's just that it's not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the
greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks
and the portfolios of the uber-rich.
