Z? Z! ZOMG!

Who knew what was lurking in the wood pile? John Scalzi has zombie trees! I must agree with the person who said it's too bad we could not have asked his daughter to start s-l-o-w-l-y moving the woodpile toward the original tree.... Gotcha!

You can even sing about undead happy trees.

For the curious -- buds form in the fall on many plants, and continue to develop over the winter. I imagine this variety (maybe pussy willows?) has a tiny little manufacturing plant at each bud point, waiting to respond to temperature and moisture levels. Which is a wonderful freak-out for those who thought the points were old bud sites, not new ones....

Do you need business jargon un-sucked?

Funny and useful!

AND NOW -- Back to taxes.
