A small pine tree grown in a glass box shows the intricate network of white, finely branched mycorrhizal threads or "mycelium" that attach to roots and feed the plant.
These mycorrhizal fungi form symbiotic relationships with plants, helping them absorb water and nutrients from the soil while receiving sugars and other compounds in return.
This incredible underground network supports plant health and growth, illustrating the vital connections within ecosystems.

Goodbye Metro Station :-( we had a good run together as we shared the same block on Front Street for 11.5 years ~ from May 1, 2010 to January 8, 2022
~ It was a good friendship, since we both helped people travel. Of course our customers were moved thru invoking lands of distant cuisines. And your customers traveled on the BUS ~ but still we were BOTH in the business of taking people to new & different places. And there was a familiar and comforting profile to you old Metro Station.
We have both been victims of the same GENTRIFICATION & a City Council hell-bent on attracting “a different caliber of citizen”. We feel your pain as you are demolished as too was India Joze.
Surely their plans for you are noble & grander, but we are GRATEFUL for sharing those simpler times together & your partnership in the hood. Since we both moved hearts & minds, we wish you Godspeed as you are cast into the that mystical realm of MEMORY. Go in Love.

It’s all about the FOOD ! Oh ~ and the Shelter !! Oh yes AND the Compassion !

There is a direct connection:: America’s worship of wealth / US having the MOST Billionaires (742) AND America’s deplorable issue with unhoused citizens. That we allow & protect the profiteering directly EQUALS more people on the streets. Their wealth is often siphoned off the people & the Earth. Sure they work hard & they have good, sometimes great, ideas ~ but our system of wealth actually generates homelessness as a byproduct.
Thank God for Food Not Bombs who work hard to redistribute some of the world’s FOOD WEALTH.

See how California's richest people stack up amongst the people on the 2023 Forbes World's Billionaires list.
