[IBC] Omigod Department
As part of two Introduction to Bonsai packages I am assembling for a Syracuse
Jewish Family Service auction, I am including two copies of Bonsai for Beginners by Craig Coussins, donated by Borders (patronize them; Barnes & Noble & Waldenbooks wouldn't give me the time of day). However, while leafing through it, I found a picture of a Scots pine in its native territory with the caption, "Pine branches point upward, except at the tip, which points down." What?! In the Northeast US, all the lower branches on pine trees point down & the tips point up, because of the heavy load of snow, even on what we call Scotch pines. I hastily penned in a little explanation. Remember that big argument we had a few years ago about the triangles? Iris "You must have a goal. Then you will know when you've failed."
