To Buzz or Not To Buzz

To Buzz or not to Buzz
That is the question
Whether ti's nobler
To pollinate
Than to rum amuck
With bee mischief

To seek the flower
And yet, buzz by
Or bring fruits and
Vegetables to you
And I

To seek the harvest
From spring to fall
To feed the earth
Those large and small.

Yes, yes,
So thinks my little brain
But, I'm a bee
Going quick...insane.

I just downloaded the free software. Microsoft worldwide telescope... worth looking at and here it is DOWNLOAD

As the fields around our forest finally burst into brilliance (I know I said two weeks ago, but there was the cold spell, and the cold spell) so finally does the product line of Save The Bees on Blue View Lane.

You preserve our planets
Looks and health.

Seismic Activity in Yellowstone

Poking about on the net I ran into this site on Volcanic activity in Yellowstone. In case you did not know, Yellowstone is another of those disasters waiting to happen...the sort that make one wonder at our hubris to think we can do anything to the planet. Well, we can, but only as it effects ourselves, otherwise we are merely lint on the sleeves of time. Have a look.

In Passing-Albert Hofmann Dies

Albert Hofmann, the Swiss chemist who discovered LSD in 1938, died Tuesday. He was 102. Hoffman became a chemist because of his love of the natural world and a desire to seek the essence of nature. He likened his first accidental 'trip' on LSD to the Epiphany he had experienced as a young boy becoming one with natural world in the forests near Baden.

“It shone with the most beautiful radiance, speaking to the heart, as though it wanted to encompass me in its majesty. I was filled with an indescribable sensation of joy, oneness and blissful security.” ....." Yet despite his involvement with psychoactive compounds, Dr. Hofmann remained moored in his Swiss chemist identity. He stayed with Sandoz as head of the research department for natural medicines until his retirement in 1971. He wrote more than 100 scientific articles and was the author or co-author of a number of books" NYT

Hoffman believed LSD to to be a powerful drug to be treated with respect, but one capable of aiding the participant in an understanding of the wonder of nature.

" He said LSD had not affected his understanding of death. In death, he said, “I go back to where I came from, to where I was before I was born, that’s all.” See New York Times Article
