Happy Birthday, M!

P.S.  I went outside this morning and said my goodbyes to Bertram.  Poor little guy.  :(  I thought about taking one of his baby limes and planting a Bertram, Jr.   But then I started thinking ...  what if I became Typhoid Wendy?  What if he is a carrier of Citrus Canker?  The Asplundh trucks just drove by.  :(

First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak out for me.
