I'm so glad I ctrl-c'd before I tried to send it. LOL)<BR/><BR/>Sheryl,<BR/><BR/>Obviously going to be off topic here, but it occurred to me last night as I was "going to sleep" that you might miss my reply on the comment thread at my blog.<BR/><BR/>So I thought I'd echo myself here, just in case you get busy with the WODE thing. Yeah, it's a little OCD of me, what can I say? Poor me.<BR/><BR/>Anyway. Yes, I'd love to talk via private mail, but I don't know how to get e-mail addresses off of comment threads. I'm not very tech-savvy I'm afraid.<BR/><BR/>So maybe you could e-mail me at:<BR/><BR/>life101student (at symbol) yahoo.com<BR/><BR/>(No spaces or special characters in that, other than the "at symbol")<BR/><BR/>Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Talk to you soon.. and good luck with the WODE. What do writers say that's the equivalent of "break a leg" anyway?

How could I possibly forget any of it when I had mapped them out so thoroughly? Jolted from sleep by world devestating nightmares, that's how. I know better.Keziah Fentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07938311968836003221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36498913.post-1167339074414576662006-12-28T15:51:00.000-05:002006-12-28T15:51:00.000-05:00From Wiki ...The chestnut blight is a fungal disea...From Wiki ...<BR/>The chestnut blight is a fungal disease caused by the sac fungus (Ascomycota), Cryphonectria parasitica (formerly Endothia parasitica), which has virtually eliminated the once-widespread American chestnut tree.<BR/><BR/>The chestnut blight was accidentally introduced to North America around 1900-1908, either in imported chestnut lumber or in imported chestnut trees, and by 1940, mature American chestnut trees had been made virtually extinct by the disease.<BR/><BR/>The blight appears to have been introduced from either China or Japan. Japanese and some Chinese chestnut trees are resistant to the fungus: they may be infected, but the blight does not usually kill them.<BR/><BR/>Despite the devastation the blight caused to the American Chestnut tree, the root collar and root system of the tree are fairly resistant to the blight, so a large number of small American Chestnut trees still exist as shoots from existing root bases. However, the shoots are seldom able to grow enough to reproduce before the blight attacks them.<BR/><BR/> <BR/>Cankers caused by the fungal infection cause the tree trunk to split.The fungus is spread by an unknown agent, but it is local in range, so many American Chestnuts survive where there is no other tree within 10 km. Also, there are at least two pathogens which weaken the fungus (hypovirulence) and many trees survive that way.McBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01437136297944260051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36498913.post-1167313694136082832006-12-28T08:48:00.000-05:002006-12-28T08:48:00.000-05:00Oh Oh Oh I know!http://www.forestpathology.org/dis...Oh Oh Oh I know!<BR/><BR/>http://www.forestpathology.org/dis_chestnut.html<BR/><BR/>http://news.independent.co.uk/environment/article1221302.ece<BR/><BR/>http://www.caes.state.ct.us/FactSheetFiles/PlantPathology/fspp008f.htm<BR/><BR/>http://www.ricecrc.org/reader/2990#Pests<BR/><BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameraria_ohridella<BR/><BR/><BR/>well you asked....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
