<< Slide Image Left On The Website Mastheads (here and elsewhere) Since I consider myself a realist with a balanced point of view it is also important for me look at the darker side. My first bigger M7.3 earthquake was in 1946; the second an M8.1 just three years later, in 1949. Those who dance with earthquakes and volcanoes are considered mad by those who cannot smell the sulfur.

Lovely to look at, but remember that these are poisonous plants* -- do not allow children, pets or yourself ingest any of part of the azaleas or rhododendrons.

*The Full Story
One of the earliest accounts of mass poisoning dates back to the first century BCE when Roman troops were allegedly poisoned with honey by the Heptakometes of Turkey.  The Roman soldiers were reported to be confused and vomiting and subsequently defeated in battle after eating the honey's Grayanotoxins.  We now believe that they were given honey made from the nectar of the
flowering Rhododendron luteum.
The Music: Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 in C-sharp minor, S.244/2, is the second in a set of 19 Hungarian Rhapsodies by composer Franz Liszt, and is by far the most famous of the set.  Sergei Rachmaninoff playing The Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2, recorded in 1919 by Edison Records

In both the original piano solo form and in the orchestrated version this composition has enjoyed widespread use in animated cartoons. Its themes have also served as the basis of several popular songs.
