One of Winestonck's on-going themes was the "law of the perversity of 
inanimate matter"--why toast always falls butter-side down, and such.

I'm educated enough to know that plants are not "inanimate matter" but 
experienced enough to suspect they follow the same law--as do a 
majority of my ex-wives, children, and in-laws.

Thank you for your time in listening to this.
