Subject: Re: helicopter seeds



"...a seed pod came spinning down and lit on my shoulder. In college I'd

had a friend from Vermont; she called the two-winged seedpods 'helicopters'."

--Marcia Muller, TILL THE BUTCHERS CUT HIM DOWN, p. 199 (hard bound).





Hey, doesn't anyone call them 'samaras'?



Once again a reference to Charlie Poole:



And then he rambled, rambled;

He rambled all around,

In and out the town;

And then he rambled, rambled;

He rambled till them butchers cut him down.



Or something like that.
