erm, so. . .

NaCl (that's salt for those of you who didn't concentrate in chemistry)

so there we have it! salt! apart from the fact it's not as simple as that, because not only do we have salt, but now we have kosher salt. . .

let's just take another look at the situation shall we? here's some salt:

and here's some kosher salt:

now, my dear friend shot introduced me to the concept of kosher salt (click the link if you're still unclear) and it shone some light on the situation for me! and my new understanding also explains why, when I was living in Manhattan, one of my friends was able to cook beefburgers on salt but when I returned home the recipe never quite worked out for me. . .

hope you're having a great day!

what the word vers are really trying

to tell us: not that we're. . .

. . .but that we should pay attention to the beauty of this shrub (the hypericum!)

("shrub" is such a strange word, isn't it) (but even stranger is the fact I'm know thinking about pelicans: a wonderful bird is the pelican, its beak can hold more than its belly can)(is it because belly can kinda rhymes with hypericum? no! I didn't think so either)

would you care to join me?
hope so!

O hushed October morning mild,
Thy leaves have ripened to the fall;
To-morrow's wind, if it be wild,
Should waste them all.
The crows above the forest call;
To-morrow they may form and go.
O hushed October morning mild,
Begin the hours of this day slow,
Make the day seem to us less brief.
Hearts not averse to being beguiled,
Beguile us in the way you know;
Release one leaf at break of day;
At noon release another leaf;
One from our trees, one far away;
Retard the sun with gentle mist;
Enchant the land with amethyst.
Slow, slow!
For the grapes' sake, if they were all,
Whose leaves already are burnt with frost,
Whose clustered fruit must else be lost
For the grapes' sake along the wall
