What they're saying

[ritaxis]

"sedges have edges, and rushes are round, but grasses have nodes from their tips to the ground” --botanist's mnemnonic I copped from Botany Photo of the Day which I have on my flist by feed! Yay feed! (can someone tell me how to make a feed for a blog that doesn't already have RSS or something attached to it?)

And, seen, I am not making this up, on the announcement board of a little church on Capitola Road between Chanticleer and 17th Avenue (Live Oak unincorporated area which was truck farms and abandoned farm houses when I moved here and is now wall to wall housing, neither cheap nor luxurious):

REASON IS THE GUILLOTINE OF FAITH

Think about it. It's true!
