Underwater volcano! That reminds me of a hilarious story about volcanoes and tomato plants. (Read that again. You will NEVER see those words together in the same sentence, probably for the rest of your life.)

So, what? forty years ago? an underwater volcano erupted off Iceland. A new island appeared out of nowhere. It didn’t have a bit of life on it and the international science community decided they’d study it to see how life gets to remotely located deserted islands. The international community agreed to work together to isolate the island. Nobody not in the project was allowed to visit...ever. So you’ve got three navies and coast guards guarding this island. Then the guy running the show gets a message. “A plant has appeared on the island.” He jumps on a plane, travels thirteen thousand miles, gets on a ship for an eight-hour ride, gets to the island. The plant is big, it’s beautiful and he says, “Wait a minute! Something’s wrong here. It’s a tomato plant.” He pokes around and discovers the plant has sprung forth from a pile of poop. Yep, one of those “scientists” had a BLT, pooped on the island, and ruined the project. The lead guy scoops up the plant and the poop and they scientific community keep the secret for thirty-five years.

Excellent.

Trust science...but not the scientist .... whether CovID or climate.

Trust God..... but not the bishop.

Is the messenger the message?

My neighbors all have lawn services and their lawns are full of weeds so they then have to pay the lawn service to spray for weeds. Told one of them that lawn services are the cause of their weeds because they don’t power wash their mowers between cuts.
