Ugh ... previous 'bio' was very long winded I am sorry, this is true with most everything I post in a text format , not so much in person, generaly quiet anyways ... make the story short, I am very facinated by the family Solanaeace , specificly Nicotiana , and all of the various tropane genuses ( Datura , Brugmansia , Atropa , ect )

a bit about myself other than that , I was born in southern california , but have lived in western washington state most of my life, my family is of Mexican ( fathers ) and Polish ( mothers ) decent , and because of this as you might imagine ,I have eaten alot of solanaeace foods ( Father never cooks without Tomatos and chile peppers, most everything my mother cooked contains in one form or another potato :P ) and as such this is quite typical of my own diet , this has probobly bleed over into my facintion with other areas of the Solanaeace family in general

Aboriginal culture , and the spiritualy of such has always been of deep facination and respect for me. Having known not perticuarly much about my mothers ancestors, my fathers ( from southern mexico ) have held facination for me , and a deep profound meaning ( not for me to get into here :P ) but in anycase , the interest in my fathers ancestry has lead me into interests of ' Ethnobotany ' as it has come to be called , and plants that have been utilized by humans for one reason or another always hold interest ... especialy the solanaeace ...

a bit more , I live on a small ( 7.13 acer ) farm , we raise horses , and rabbits , as well as we have one dog , and I have my own council of felines ( three litermates , two females , one male , the two females are ' polydactyls' IE : they have many more toes than they should :P nothing wrong with mutant kittys in my mind :P they are ' special ' like we all are in one or another way, we also have two other male cats living with us , these cats for the longest time have composed the core group of my ' social life ' as I am very introverted in person , and ' yes I will admit this ' suffer from a good deal of social phobias , and various other issues ,that I have been dealing with since I was old enough to remember , which was very young , I am a very social person on the internet , as you can likely tell if you actually read my posts in their entirey, I can talk alot, but in person I am very shy . i am very open minded , in many respects , I just do not like to be held responsible for ' other peoples' actions , I will gladly take responsiblity for my own . hmm other things .. I am very ... nature oriented ... I love to hike , I grew up as a 'angler ' " I skiped school several times per week to go fishing during spring and fall " I do not fish much anymore , but I did for a long time :P , I do not hunt , I prefer to observe wild animals, than consume them, for that there are grocery stores stocked with meat from animals that are already passed on , by the time I decide I am hungry ... we do however have a abundance of wild live in this area, black and white tail deer, elk elk elk elk ... " Mobile car crushers " and 'not so rare' these days, is seeing Mountain lions , or ' Pumas' , they are starting to come down from the forests due to the loging industry, and we see them several times per year here , coyotes are also everywhere , and in season .. frogs frogs frogs ... during the spring / summer one need not even put on music at night to lull them to sleep, if you can stand the errie howl of the trickster coyote , the harmony of frog + canine, is enought to lull anyone to sleep, but perhaps give a few nightmares :P

well thats me - Adam - and uh ... I guess this bio is just as long winded as the previous :/
