In the sea of my emotions, his presence is like a pearl in the oyster. Very hard to locate, yet very precious and still beautiful.

All art is autobiographical. The pearl is the oyster's autobiography.

Although oyster mushrooms have been studied extensively and support health in a number of ways, it is also extremely important to always cook oyster mushrooms!

The first man gets the oyster, the second man gets the shell.

The world's mine oyster Which I with sword will open.

Old-time ranchers planted cheatgrass because it would green up fast in the spring and provide early forage for grazing cattle,_ Oyster says, nodding his head at the world outside. This first patch of cheatgrass was in southern British Columbia, Canada, in 1889. But fire spreads it. Every year, it dries to gunpowder, and now land that used to burn every ten years, it burns every year. And the cheatgrass recovers fast. Cheatgrass loves fire. But the native plants, the sagebrush and desert phlox, they don__. And every year it burns, there__ more cheatgrass and less anything else. And the deer and antelope that depended on those other plants are gone now. So are the rabbits. So are the hawks and owls that ate the rabbits. The mice starve, so the snakes that ate the mice starve. Today, cheatgrass dominates the inland deserts from Canada to Nevada, covering an area over twice the size of the state of Nebraska and spreading by thousands of acres per year. The big irony is, even cattle hate cheatgrass, Oyster says. So the cows, they eat the rare native bunch grasses. What__ left of them...__hen you think about it from a native plant perspective,_ Oyster says, __ohnny Appleseed was a fucking biological terrorist._ Johnny Appleseed, he says, might as well be handing out smallpox.
