    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

    Kind of like a president who has no brain and his staff.

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

                                    The German Kaiser-class dreadnought battleship SMS Prinzregent Luitpold being towed back to Rosyth, keel uppermost.

                                    This is one of many German ships sunk by her crew in Scapa Flow in 1919 after the fleet had surrendered in November 1918.

                                    Although they were scuttled to prevent Allied Forces from using the vessels, some were salvaged and used for scrap metal to manufacture British armaments.

                                      It was 50 years ago today that the 18 1/2 minute gap was revealed.

                                      If I had a friend like Miss Rosemary Woods,

                                      How simple my life would be

                                      I'd just give all my problems to Rosemary Woods

                                      and she would erase them for me
