    Thanks. I do intellectually know some of this but I don’t grok it or the implications.

      There’s things that are really fundamental to our local environment and it’s hard to wrap our heads around when we go elsewhere.

      Up here, other than evergreens, everything appears to die in the winter. The trees all lose their leaves, the grass turns brown, surface plants whither. It has to be this way because nothing not very explicitly evolved for the environment can survive the winter weather.

      When I went to cuba for a vacation about 10-15 years ago, it was sort of hard to wrap my head around the fact that all the trees were always growing because their winter was nothing like ours (in fact, it was early spring when I went, and we nearly crashed the car on black ice driving 8 hours from the northern community I lived in at the time to the big city airport). It’s only natural, but the concept of a year-round growing season seemed totally alien to me.
