In Maryland, I have about six woody plant species per hectacre. (One hectacre, a metric measurement, equals 2.47 acres.)

[…] the wise and considerate Men of the World, by a right and careful employment of their Thoughts, and Reason, attained true Notions in this, as well as other things; whilst the lazy and inconsiderate part of Men, making the far greater number, took up their Notions, by chance, from common Tradition, and vulgar Conceptions, without much beating their heads about them.

Men fell out, worn-out, and there were sunstroke cases. It was an eight-mile march upgrade.

I almost died in a capricious winter storm.
