This tree is not like other trees. This tree was created in my imagination, to accompany a narrative I was constructing for an elementary-aged student in April, 2017, in Korea. I often would draw pictures and tell stories to students, as a way to motivate intrinsic learning. This is from one of the frequent one-on-one sessions I’d had.
The tree is at the center of the picture. It doesn’t appear to have played a major role in the narrative, but I can’t be sure. The student drew the bat in the upper left.

Caveat: logs and lettuces and loopy isolines
I worked on my firewood collection for a while in the morning.
I saw some lettuces growing nicely in my greenhouse.
I created a really messed-up topo map on my server. Something went wrong with the algorithm. I later learned it had to do with not deleting some temporary files left over from a previous run of the same program.
Another day in my moss-covered, misanthrope’s paradise.
Caveat: Poem #1354 “Anti-Chomskyan”
ㅁ And still my luck was green and colorless and dwelt among ideas like a ghost.
– a couplet in blank verse (iambic pentameter). This obliquely references the famous Chomskyan composition which he used to demonstrate the distinction between syntactic well-formedness and semantic well-formedness.
