Edited just for the fun of editing.

Should have left that up. It was a unique pic and a good read.

I'm on trees now. Across the street in someone's back yard there once were three Lombardy Poplars in a row. They were so beautiful. Some woman bought the place and let honeysuckle vines strangle the life out of those trees and then for a few years they were just corpses. Eventually cut down. They were just perfect for the location but a knuckle dragger didn't appreciate them.

My parents had seven Lombardy Poplars in their backyard along the fence that they planted in the mid '60s.
They were beautiful and it was sad when I had to take them down in the '90's because the heartwood started
rotting. Have a soft spot for this particular tree since I grew up along with those trees.

A common name for Poison sumac was also False Sumac, as the leafs and leaf pattern was similar to staghorn sumac. Although other characteristics are very different. Staghorn sumac has a nutty smell and makes me think of brownies cooking.

Poison ivy and kudzu are the state birds for several southern states. Although kudzu is beneficial as a tuber food source and its liver healing properties. The Brits are know to be fond of poison ivy for use as a fence row.

Very unique state birds indeed! [:D]

Time for a musical interlude in this thread. Michael Nyman. I think he's some sort of genius but his music is somewhat childlike, not that there's anything wrong with that. It's also a bit like Philip Glass blowing a 2.0 at a highway checkpoint. The first link will take you to a pretty good exposition of his sort of music. For those impatient ones among you skip to 15:47 for the climax. For those of you who were patient enough to listen to it all, go to the second link for some more. Finally the third link takes you to Philip Glass.

I think this is really good but weird music, give it a chance.

Now Beethoven is my lodestar, but I have guilty pleasures, and this is one:

Yes you will, you can't help yourself. It's Wagner.

Wagner? The People's Court judge that just died?

Japanese building ships in Colombo!

My headline is somewhat misleading, as Japanese banks will just provide 80% of the loan to fund the construction of three patrol craft for the Sri Lanka coast guard. Nice picture of the Colombo dockyard:

Japan is getting all the non-Chinese friends they can.

The US has a Special Operations Base in Djibouti. Among other things this is where most of the attacks on Al Qaeda in Yemen originate. Saw a report that Djibouti is letting China build a naval base not far away.
