The mystique of certain San Diego plants and animals

Xoconostles, a type of prickly pear
Hive Mentality
- “The book said to call the fire department and tell them you’ll take swarms. That’s what I did. I got the swarms.”

Tom Glenn. To be sure that he has no Africanized drones, Tom Glenn prevents his drones from free-flying.
Grrrrrrrrrrrr
- Pit bulls can attack and kill. But does such notoriety tell us anything reliable about the dog, or does it tell us -- more accurately, I think -- the degree to which we misrepresent bad dogs themselves?

The paraphernalia in the Baumgartner-Murty brothers case included "breaking sticks," which are used to pry open a dog's mouth and break its grip on the other dog.
To Fuse Wind and Motion
- "I approach. Am met with indifference, then wariness. Mothball heads. Bright yellow beaks. Slate-gray mantles. Field vision whole, each sees my coming and a space to move toward. I approach closer.

Birds Squared
- "Tom's wife, Ann, said that things had changed completely since the last time she and Tom were here in V17. "In the spring, this was neck-high grasses! We got lost, separated from each other a couple of times. We were tripped by the logs that were hidden and fell on our faces.”

Philip Unitt: “A group of us talked about doing an atlas in 1978. But as time went on, the other people fell by the wayside until I was the only one left."
Savage Beauty
- “There’s just something about the orchid. The mystique of the flower. It’s hard to say why. Until you get that feeling when you bloom it. I have people calling me and screaming on the telephone, ‘I just bloomed this plant!’’
- By Don McCullough, April 17, 2003
Paraphalaneopsis. “There isn’t a pill and there isn’t a shot you can take once it gets started.”
