The Tonka Bean Tree Can Wield Lightening to Kill it's Enemies.

The Tonka Bean Tree Can Wield Lightning to Defeat Enemies

Where most trees live in fear of being struck by lightning, there exists one tree in the muggy jungles of Panama that embraces the lightning.

I found this fascinating, then I briefly read a little about there being other such trees with defence mechanised in Panama.

@Marie2020 , that is interesting.

We know that many species prosper in the years after wildfires. That tree gains what might be immediate benefit from lightning strikes. It even grows in a way that attracts lightning. Life!

I was also attracted to the article about "bibliotherapy." The picture of the young lady with Cher's hairstyle from 50 years ago . A set of encyclopedias pulled me through a difficult time when I was a kid. I am still inclined to that sorta therapy .

we just named our cell-phone. it's been a few years since we changed from the landline to this newfangled gadget (or is it a gidgit? )...

as Mom was talking to a few nieces this evening for a while taking some of the charge of the battery down when she plugged it back into it's little cradle it starts blinking red (indicating that it is charging). so i told her it was sucking juice to recharge and then a moment later the phrase, "Juicy-Juice" comes out of my mouth. this is a common phrase between us over the years used in various contexts (and another "Shoot the juice to me Bruce!" happens at times too, we have our own language, don't you with your old friends? ).
