    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      The term 'freelancer' was originally used to describe a mediaeval mercenary who put out his services to hire

      I thought it originated in the San Fernando valley in the 1970s.

        Life finds a way.

        The thinner tree was cut years ago and the big one has been holding and feeding it since then. They "wake up" together in the spring and "go to sleep" together in the autumn’

        Inosculation is a natural phenomenon in which parts of two different trees, commonly but not exclusively the same species, grow together, self grafting and sharing nutrients

        The term emanates from latin- ōsculārī, to kiss
