Looks better and even bigger in Lightbox.

A while back, our son Greg treated me to a birthday salmon fishing trip off the Marin coast. There's nothing I love more than fishing, but normally I'm not a fan of going out on a party boat and sticking my rod in a rod holder and dragging a frozen anchovy behind a 4 lb lead weight and standing around waiting for a fish to hit. However, when this 25 pounder grabbed my bait, releasing that 4 lb lead weight so it was just him at one end of the line and me at the other, I underwent a rapid change of attitude, which was further reinforced when this salmon was quickly followed by a "little" 15 pounder. Greg caught two, too, but of course mine were bigger...

The century plant is an agave, originally from Mexico, and when we first moved to California and found this plant growing along a path near our house, we were told the stalk grows only once a century. Believe me, in the 45 years I've been walking past this plant, I can assure you that bit of lore just plain ain't so. According to Wikipedia, "When it flowers, the spike with a cyme of big yellow flowers may reach up to 8 m (26 ft) in height. Its common name likely derives from its semelparous nature of flowering only once at the end of its long life. The plant dies after flowering, but produces suckers or adventitious shoots from the base, which continue its growth." Anyway, it's an impressive plant, and it's nice to see it continuing in good health after all these years.

I don't know what to call this; that's why no title.
