The next page will be delayed a bit as I'm going in for some minor surgery. Nothing serious, but I'm going to need a couple of days to recuperate. Yes, in other words, I actually have a good excuse for a delay for once!

In the meantime, though, please raise a glass of quadro-triticale to the memory of Norman Borlaug, who recently died at the age of 95. His agricultural research saved a billion lives. What are you doing today?
