wow - it's been forever since I've seen or even thought of the film Adaptation! I'll make a note to find it and watch again. Thanks for the documentary link - I've saved it to watch (soon, I hope!)

Thanks for your comment, Jan. if you haven't read the book by Susan Orlean, "The Orchid Thief", I recommend it—what a journey it takes you on!

Thanks for the recommendation! I've just added it to my library cart!

I view the 2023 Omnibus as a good metric of the priorities of our elected officials. That is, little for services and a lot for the military.

Yes, it's an exact metric of their priorities, really. I simply can't understand why there is such resistance to social programs...

Thanks Jeremy. I hope as many people as possible take a few minutes to watch that documentary — it's quite good! The committee seemed to put a lot of work into it, which their report documents...but what will become of their recommendations now that the committee is disbanded and the House has changed parties...?
