   Good idea.  I'm not so good with plants either.  I could rattle off   
   their names much easier when I was younger.  Now, it's like trying to   
   make distinctions between different parts of fog.   
      
   And, we got rain.  Not much, less than 1/2".  Highs in the low 50s for   
   the next couple days.  Might get out and poke around in the damp forest   
   litter.  I should try and check some of the mushroom "hot spots," but   
   that requires burning expensive fossil fuels (now with E10 biofuel).
