Re: Mind's Eye coffee

A few have told me the trick to headaches is learning to drink water
alongside alcohol. Back when I was young/dumb enough to drink most under
the table I finished off a case of Budweiser on a long trip and a hot
day, the three to five day headache is still fresh in memory. I better
quit before we start passing around tequila, and beer before liquor
stories, because it's all good until you stand up and put your head
through a wall on the way to the bathroom. Not too classy, but we were
rolling over it later.

Glad to see you Don! I read a forestry undergrowth paper a while back
that said the common earthworm isn't native either. Apparently the
topsoil was much richer and thicker especially in forested areas and has
been reducing in depth ever since, though man's influence is undoubtedly
more severe. Humans seem naturally nomadic, the contented bonobo chimp
we are not. The bonobo apparently evolved a little differently because
they developed on the other side of a waterway that had less competition
for resources. Fascinating! I haven't followed up on it but caught part
of a documentary about our near extinction in Africa and early migration
into the bamboo forests of Asia. Another tried to examine why we push
ourselves to exhaustion and endure for long periods of time, apparently
we can exhaust many other land animals. They say that there was a recent
period where a few species of hominid may have lived at the same time
and I wonder what happened to the others, or perhaps they were too much
like the bonobo. :(

Back in the day a slime mold could just relax without all this riffraff!
When the Earth is our mother we are quite related.
