Bio
I don't know? We are what we eat. Teachers of wisdom teach the diversity of food plants have sustained humankind since we moved from the tooth and claw of the hunter-gatherer to the sooth and law of agriculture. This is the basis of all human life. We are what we eat. This is my 60th birthday party. The cut/paste photo cropped my mop of hair. I look like I had a thimble of honey wine? This is okay for a first try ... test.

doing nothing. And it is not my fault I have this

They provide no shocks, no surprises

And, bless them, they never disappoint.
