My friend, the butterfly

In my queue this morning was an email from a friend saying "this is delightful," following with a long piece called "The Butterfly Effect." First thought: Oh, he doesn't know about this old saw - butterfly flaps wings in Pago Pago, peace breaks out in the Middle East. How wrong my quick-to-judger really is. Read this. I'm stealing the photo from Don Southerland's article. Hope that's OK, Mr. Southerland. What a beautiful way to start this week. If you've ever had an unusual "relationship" with one from another species, prepare yourself for taking a step beyond.
