Today's poster features the great matriarch Magnolia Moonalice. According to Moonalice legend, Magnolia lived right here in Live Oak. In the tradition of the great Moonalice matriarchs, Magnolia was both clever and wise. Clever? She could roll doobies with one hand while wrestling an alligator with the other. Wise? She understood the importance of making the hemp crop last all year.
According to Moonalice legend, October 23 is Mole Day. You might assume that Mole Day is just a hangover following yesterday's Highest of High Holidays, Wombat Day. But you would be wrong. A Mole turns out to be one of the seven base units of International Standard measuring system. It's not a number that rolls off the tongue - 6.02×1023 - but scientists like it enough that they celebrate it today. Since we weren't together yesterday, I recommend that we pretend it's still Wombat Day!
