What sort of world would we have if the very grass decided not to grow after we mow the lawn.<BR/><BR/>It is the nature of life to endure and rebuild and reproduce. In fact we have clinical terms for the people who do not.pbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11568681879593734160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12894268.post-1153414470551893452006-07-20T11:54:00.000-05:002006-07-20T11:54:00.000-05:00Yes, I know what you mean.
