I got this idea from a graphic I saw on BMEWS yesterday.

No Meme Before It’s Time
Thanks to LinkedinUSAF for the tag on this – Damsel and I had fun figuring out what we would do with it. It took us a while, but we think we’ve accurately answered all questions posed – but not before we gave grave consideration to each item.
I previously equated meme with a chain letter. I was wrong. I now believe it’s a full-blown blogborne pandemic. Anyhow, here’s the way Damsel and I answered this meme:

Tag – We’re It!
Damsel and I have been tagged by LinkedInUSAF to respond to a list of questions in a meme recently seen circulating in the blogosphere. Since the Damsel and I have to collaborate on our answers, it may be a day or two before the meme gets posted here.
Oh, by the way . . . WTF is a meme?
One definition of meme on the Web:
As defined by Richard Dawkins in The Selfish Gene (1976): “a unit of cultural transmission, or a unit of imitation.” “Examples of memes are tunes, ideas, catch-phrases, clothes fashions, ways of making pots or of building arches. Just as genes propagate themselves in the gene pool by leaping from body to body via sperms or eggs, so memes propagate themselves in the meme pool by leaping from brain to brain via a process which, in the broad sense, can be called imitation.
A meme is sort of like a chain letter, I guess.

Damsel Sends You a Daffodil
Here is our first daffodil of the season. The unseasonably warm weather convinced this flower to come out as though it were spring. Not to worry, though; cooler weather and precipitation are yet to come this winter. California actually has four seasons: rainy season, mudslide season, summer and fire season. And all bets are off when the ground starts shaking; earthquake season is all year long.
