A week ago I visited a friend and snapped this picture. (I tried to get a couple pictures of her chickens, but they weren’t suffering me to get close enough for the camera I had on hand.) The blossom itself was a very vibrant purple, nearly magenta color. Unfortunately, that seems to be about the most difficult color for a digital camera to register properly; as a result the original photograph is almost painful to look at.
My name is Matthew Xavier. I live in Minnesota, read books, and write software (for fun and profit).
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.
