How's this for off the subject of(below) off the subject. I remember
watching *The Time Machine* on TV long ago. I think Tony Curtis was the
protagonist. Anyway, when they got to the part where Tony is a couple
thousand years in future and things have *really* gone to hell I couldn't
help but notice that the whole world was covered in *Hedera canariensis*,
what we call Algerian Ivy. Now there's one time when Hollywood got it
right. The world, when it finally falls apart, will be bedecked in
Algerian Ivy.
