Dancer Beware

It was a Seventy-mile-an-hour dance on I-25, weaving through Denver. Rain slicked, quasi white-knuckled driving, twisting curves, grey skies, and the Taxi-Cab!

Ft. Collins to Santa Fe, six and a half hours away. Denver almost
spoiled the day. Keep two seconds between, a rule of thumb, a common courtesy. Seventy-miles-an-hour like packed sardines, we danced cheekily....

Eyes on the road, wide depth of view, narrow spaces. Focusing,
the road unwound, carrying the entanglement in perpetual motion.
Then the streaking yellow, like a grand ballroom entrance, indeed,
decked in bright flashy attire. Eager to dance! The voracity was that of great fervor.

Amused, intuitive, and continuing my desired dance. Depth of field grew wider, it was a reckless approach to the forefront, flashes of yellow, dancing through the crowd. The syncopation was off. The tempo ignored, the dance went on. The yellow streak inched forward, fleeting, the ensemble now distorted.

Keep my pace, contemplate my step, remain poised. I want to dance all the way home. The streak had my lane, increasing the unwilling tempo, with scant maneuverability. Recklessly engaged, among the ensemble.

The tune never ended, it is perpetual after all. The ensemble could only watch, as the yellow streak would finish its dance. The departure was even more grandiose than the expeditious arrival. The tempo of the streak now altered, and in a flash would become quiescent.

The streak weaved through the choreography with incredible timing. Each member of the affected ensemble were left to destiny as the streak made wild pirouettes across the floor. The relationship kept its distance, miraculously. The streak rested, sitting backwards, to the side of the floor.

The dance continued. I'm home!

Jasmine Blooming vs Agave Americana Blooming

Jasmine

Google Search:
Jasmine Flowers

If you've never smelled jasmine in bloom
you're missing out. I think they resemble lilac,
as far as olfactory is concerned.

Agave Americana



Google Search: Agave Americana

From what I learned today,
when in full bloom the
Agave Americana is very stinky.
I have no experience with the smell
of the agave bloom.










So...Jasmine vs Agave:

I am no botanist, therefore, I will not get technical here.
You can do that on your own by clicking the links I provided.
I am going to, however, provide a couple arguments.

I dated a girl named Jasmine once.
She was as sweet as the flower of her namesake.

Jasmine rice is quite nice, excellent fragrance.
I think I prefer Basmati though.

Jasmine tea is very strong, with excellent health qualities,
typically served in Chinese restaurants.

Agave Americana is not the type that produces tequila,
that is Agave Tequilana, a.k.a. Blue Agave. I love a high grade
Reposado tequila, it is excellent for sipping! Though I haven't done this
in many years, I would sometimes warm some tequila with a touch of honey,
Yum! Very medicinal. However, since I am arguing the Americana variety,
the tequila aspect does not play in this argument.

As I learned just now, wild agave will bloom once every five years or so,
according to wiki. My house-mate tells me they smell very bad
when in full bloom. He learned this from a neighbor.

The shoot that you see in the agave pic grew about 12-15 feet
in a matter of 10 days. It's one of those things, that when in life,
during our hectic schedules, we tend to miss the wonders of nature!
I had not even noticed the shoot of this plant
until it was at least 10 feet tall....Crazy! To the eye,
the agave is wondrous! I call it the alien though.


Looks like an agave shoot he's holding, no? LoL

Like Alien, this plant is deadly, perhaps in more ways than one.
As the lower branches mature, I have to snip off the needle tips.
Kids play in the neighborhood, I'd hate to see one of them be impaled.

You know what? This argument is over!
Jasmine......The clear victor.

Happy Earth Day!

I was curious to know the origins of Earth Day,
in my search, I immediately found this article...
How the First Earth Day Came About
It is written by the founder of Earth Day, Senator Gaylord Nelson.
