"Purslane, smartweed, sumac, and lambsquarters."

When I was a kid, there was a reason we had vinegar at the dinner table.

Interesting, but dangerous. This stuff grows wild around my place.

Note also: This type of wild "food" is one of the reasons the very poor were able to survive the Great Depression (the one in the thirties, not Øbama's).

The poor, in the 30's. recognized food when they saw it.

People don't know how to do that now.

Random thought: how would a nuclear/ion[vasimir type] hybrid work, and what performance could one get out of it in the long run?
[probably not worth the thought ex, but it was a horrible and bizarre mental image in a dream.]
