Lana de chopo (Jun 07 2004 07:59 GMT) - En esta parte del mundo los chopos llevan un par de días largando lana, dejando caer una pelusa que se arremolina dejando las esquinas perdidas de semillas. Semen vegetal con el que juegan los niños, los pájaros aterciopelan sus nidos y que a nadie parece escandalizar. Hay que ver la importancia que damos a nuestras secreciones y la poca atención que prestamos a las de los demás. Por estos pagos el Populus nigra es bastante habitual, y no me extraña, porque el tronco de este árbol crece recto hacia el cielo, y su comportamiento es tan predecible como el de un ministro de los bosques y los jardines. O como el de un ministro cualquiera. |

Marty's Crazy Calls 2 - 21 crazy Calls - on JustBands (Jun 07 2004 07:59 GMT) - Interesting CD Review over on JustBands. I'd never known they'd made a CD out of all those years of Marty Haynes from the morning crew on FM104.7 making crank calls. I used to laugh along to crank calls but at the same time I often wondered if it wasn't a little unkind to people who were mostly trying their best. |

Brendan has a media release out here on the subject. Hands up who think's Brendan is such a business whiz he should be directing the activities of the private sector? Anyone? Memo to Brendan: |
