It's interesting that the USCG made use of these corvettes in their hour of need.

had a big convo with my mechanic marcelino about this little plant. he's a mexican meditator and a tree hugger in a literal sense - says they give him energy. anyways, he took positive inspiration from this in that nature is so adaptable & perseverant like people are, but it made me wonder about the randomness of where you end up settling down. this plant obviously doesn't know what a damn bad idea it is to try to grow here... i wonder if i've chosen my ideal place to live.
