This tree is pretty.
Also, there’s a rabbit. Seriously, there’s a rabbit, you disbelievers!

Title, About the
Many years ago at a friend's high school graduation, I spent an hour at a table with my brother and our band director. We were strange people. I ate one mint for half an hour, our band director made faces in his salad dressing, and my brother melted things in the decorative candle.
One of the things my brother melted was a plastic fork. He carefully heated it only just enough that the tips of the tines curled neatly into little coils. We examined it and decided that surely it was no longer good for stabbing people...or food. Thus was born the original safety fork: harmless, but useless.

I saw the pretty picture of the tree and the line about the rabbit and suddenly got excited about a picture of a rabbit.
Then there wasn’t one.
I am easily excited I guess.

Almost forgot. Dave Brennan has resurrected the team’s infatuation with NationStates (http://www.nationstates.net/) so if you would like to ressurect the Mittagessenland feel free. Region is Mankato and password is that activity we all did together spelled out in numbers.
