That certainly was fun, thanks, I would never have
figured it out, but I am not very good at puzzles,
seem to take more patience than I can muster.

That is unbelievable! I had no idea such were so
complicated and beautiful. I"ve favorited that site

Most difficult choice. I think I could not make it. Top it?
Don't think it could be done. And maybe that is part of

How I envy the site in Monterey. I 'd love to see it. I just watch them pass through and breed here and lay eggs, caterpillar and new bug. Is Professional Entomology your life's work?? Yes, the eco-nazi', as you call them, did put a damper on butterfly collecting. I had a collection as a boy, and be...

[. Try deleting part of the quoted text, and see what it looks like by using the "preview" button down at the bottom. Keep doing this until you get the hang of it.

OK: here it is, deleted all but the last. Sorry if it is
clogging up the thread, but I have to learn somehow.

Yes, even this discussion of Pin/Pen seems somewhat

You are really good. Do you stay up nights figuring
these out???? All those names, would drive me crazy,
(crazier). If I start with palindromes I probably will never
stop: sort of like crosswords, or potato chips.
I have, however, bookmarked that site. Thanks.

I truly do watch butterfly culture. {Not being too sure what you mean by 'butterfly guy"} I have always been intrigued by the Monarch and it's 3000 mile journey. I used to sit on the banks of the Platte River decades ago, in October, and watch one bug fly four feet forward, and then the wind wo...

Living in the great "no accent"(that I know of) Plains,
is that:
"That guy down there, he's got one, the same color as
yours".????

I'd like to start a new topic, which I plan to try as soon as I finish this post. What I'd like to discuss is how people in the media, who, alone among us (with the exception of those who have educated them) bear a heavy responsibility to use our language - the essential tool of their profession - ...
