“When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.”   —   John Muir

(Except the Global Warming deniers don’t “tug”.  They yank, rip out, cut down, burn down, bulldoze over, drill through, excavate, or completely blow up . . . whatever doesn’t move.  If it does move . . . they shoot it.  Be well and do good, friends.  And, don’t abuse nature.)   —   YUR
