[Why Syzygy]

Giving it a google, it looks as though the google video clip I posted might be part of the video made with that title.
I don't know if I ever read it. Maybe if I start saving now, I can make his annual retreat in December 2010 :D

Thanks for the huggie :hug: Apparently, there is still a small portion of the pumpkin plant in good shape at the south side having been shielded. The rest of it is in tatters. The large squash was knocked over but still seems to be rooted. In fact I found a really nice zuke yesterday! I think we lost at least half the peaches. I feel terribly for the local farmers. They must be decimated.

ps. The story on the pumpkin plant, briefly ... I suggested a vegie garden, without knowing what kind of 'planter' he is. Everything went in all at once and in a very small area. Since he and our son are planning a 'pumpkin contest', I suggested organic pumpkin. Well, that thing got five times as big as anything else. The leaves are easily 10 inches diameter. Of course it took over everything else and even threatened the peach trees! After I found my radishes pulled out and thrown in the yard, I questioned him, which started a big row whereupon he angrily stated that the ONLY thing he cared about was the pumpkin! I went hands off at that point. We've had a few tomatoes (which I don't eat) and potatoes, a few green beans. Looks like the squash will come in. The sunflowers are gorgeous. Fortunately he was good humored about the pumpkin, now in shreds. :*
