hello ...
-
hello guys (fellas, ladies.)
My name's Richard. ("richard583" username.)
Allow me to start off, this - my, introduction, .. by saying, ..
"I've got to be careful."
__
(hunh. ?) .. I'm figuring you might be saying - to this.
Right. ... Well, here's the |- or "my" .. deal.
Since about, .. 1983, I've been investigating an idea that I first began to ponder back then, .. and which I've since, developed into a "working" theory.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I'd should first mention, before I go on, that this "theory", or .. more specifically the general idea, of a premise for, together with - also, simple hypothesis, to this theory, .. came to me relative to my study and simple practice at the time, of / and where considering, .. a reasonably well-known, specific method of "organic" horticulture: or, perhaps, more familiarly described and referred to--by one of its main "disciples"- as it were / .. in fact the author of a well-known "book" on the subject .. | (I'm not here to "sell any books", so I won't go into all of this.) / - (Anyway, ...) @ as "gardening and farming".
In my case (more specifically) where engaged in this practice (more involved over time: I stopped diggin' mid-summer of 1999 - 20 plus years), in fact my main study was under, another of its main disciples, .. and in point of fact, I dealt with all sorts - and manner, of vegetables; lots of fruit types - ground and tree; this while - also, at the same time, .. lawns, .. more-ornamental tree-types, many different types of flowers, even wheat (briefly), ..... bushes, and shrubs.
(You can appreciate the "pun", easily attachable to this "last" part of what I've described here above as being the more "ornamental" side of my past horticultural education and experience - more generally, .. if you like. But in point of fact, its really "not" intended.)
(At any rate, "I earned, my badge." - horticultural.)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
(.. Here's some of the "careful" part. Or, more specifically, the .. "why", "I have to, be .. careful", .. part, ....comin' up.)
@Move ahead (as they say) about 17 to 20 years, @ and where first I "go to" try to convey different parts - (more specifically), this, together with also, the main, basic premise of my "theory" - ("working": as stated above / and represented at the time .. as such - more generally), .. -->to anyone whom "matters", ..... @ while not actually "laughing" at me, /..... are (where considered as a group), either whether - for the most part, both openly more skeptical - with emphasis, i.e. where considering, certainly anything near-approaching, an acceptance of my thinking / .. while, at the same time - additionally, dubiousness - more generally, relative to its (my thinking's) holding any merit - potentially, or (in my estimation at the time) even remote credibility, at all; .. this, or either, where more polite, simply more reticent, where hearing what I had had to share.
(end part I ..)

Nobody is going to laugh at you ...(I don't think)....maybe with you. I'm curious as to what will be written in Part II.
Part I left me curious (if not a little tired) and wondering where this is all going to lead. It would be nice to have an expert in plants around here. Food is a big concern lately with the rising prices and its use for pets, livestock and fuel, I am beginning to think they forgot about the humans.
I don't suppose you do any genetic manipulation? Anyhow....carry on and welcome to the forum. I for one will be interested in "what you have to share"
They should take the warning labels off of everything and let stupidity sort itself out.

hey. Dan,
.."Fatal .." - (as it were.)
{..quick aside: or in the language .. snappy, and sometimes used to preface this type idea. "person rant": (in fact merely something I feel is noteworthy where and when I run into it.) .. I "hate" not be able to address someone, other than by referring to them by their "username" chosen. Apart from my not being able to appreciate - very well / more generally, the "anonymity" factor where regarding members' identity / general identification, where considering these types of "discussion-board-type" forum-settings, .. @usernames which don't include ..that user's first-name, generally throw my whole timing - and more, off where thinking about, the idea of .. first greeting whomever, before working to address whatever idea, beyond this one. With my first saying "Nice ta meet cha" - FW (?), .. Where regarding my use of "Fatal .." above: with it I'm essentially just trying to get by the feeling that I'm saying - or writing, something like: .. hey. "Paddleball." ..}
___
..... In any case, appreciate the welcome Dan. And .."FatalWishes".
To "Fatal-Wishes" more in particularly, .... Regarding the idea of my theory's @being laughed at--(or "more scientific": "scoffed at") potentially - here within this setting.... . Per my own view, relative to what you've suggested, "We'll", just have to "wait-and-see".
More related to my horticultural expertise, "Ask away". In the - to this point, relatively feel instances, online, where I've had the opportunity to share what knowledge of accrued relative to the wider subject, .. I've had a lot of fun doing so. (.. compost, wide-bed garlic, carrots .. , fruit-tree pruning ? - If you'd like the name of the "book" that I've referred to above, let me know and I'm set it to you via PM.)
Beyond this, where regarding my introduction begun above - in general, .. although perhaps "odd" where compared perhaps to what might be submitted more typically where considering this type of situation in particular, .. in point of fact - with my having been given the opportunity, .. I really do think, that in my particular case, i.e. with considering what I hope to introduce more in line with specific subject matter, .. that a more extensive--and even if potentially - apparently at least, perhaps "extraneous--introduction, is .. both warranted, and necessary.
(Hope this makes sense.)
And, again, .. "appreciate the welcome".

Ok .. Jeff.
__
As far as the next part of my introduction goes ..
I've got it sketched out at this point. But in line with my broader introduction's main theme - more abstract, I need to check through it more before tacking it up. (.. I'll give it a fresh looked tomorrow.)

Ok. So "What's this "theory", all about ?", or ".... of yours", @ I can almost hear you say.
Ok. Here' the deal.
Straight and simple :
(.. a little meat on the subject - [as it were] / at least, where considering that of my introduction: in my own view, essentially .. a "preface" to my theory's "introduction".)
The main reason that I've elected to submit this inarguably "drawn out" "introduction", (in fact to a certain extent not revealed above), is that ..... , with first and foremost, [my] feeling where considering ..this "theory" of mine, that in fact, I have something to share @ that is both, of substance - even merit, and also - in my view, very important both meteorologically, and climatologically, .... and then, beyond this, more related to it's "credibility", (alluded to above) the idea and even fact, that its main premise is - most certainly potentially, where at first "appreciated", (I will, and do concede) highly "questionable", ..... each of these ideas considered, .. @ where considering the idea of working to share my thinking, —> essentially I have resolved that I need to, or should (certainly perhaps) work first, before attempting lay out, either whether my thinking's main premise, or either, different of the main ideas which in fact make up my theory, to provide some specific pretext to these idea, with perhaps outlining some of the history leading to my having both developed its main premise, and further, fleshed out its main and "working" different elements.
(.. Main point again, ...)
The central idea which I'm trying to represent here just above, being, that this my introduction (i.e. in this particular context), is in point of fact, more an introduction of my theory, than myself.
- - - - - - - - - - -
Me ?: Hi. My name's Richard Mann: [I'm] from Paradise, CA: elevation 1750 ft, NNE of San Francisco, (resting) within the ridgeland foothills of Sierra Nevadas, just east of Chico CA -- {.. interesting meteorologically, with its being situated topographically, so as to present two significant and distinct orographic challenges for storms approaching from the west generally: both, west and south facing. @Plenty of instability weather-wise. 50-plus inches of precipitation (mostly rainfall) annually ..} -- and just north of "Oroville". And where I live, together with my wife - no children, and our two cats "Misty" and "Buster". Myself and my wife have lived in Paradise (Nope, not "that one" - entirely.), since May of 1999.
Largely retired from the idea of advising different individuals and [also] entities where considering their different more horticultural ideas and pursuits, .. for the past 8 or so years I've since spent much of my time .. studying meteorology (and, of course, along with this, certainly to some extent, climate), this largely with accessing different materials and data (via computer) through the internet; .. this together with my also, with this, having been fortunate enough to take a course (class and connected weekly lab) which covered - and provided me with, a reasonably - I feel, substantial "Introduction to Weather", .. offered at the local Community College, here in the county where I live. (.. Of more incidental note: certainly a rarity, where considering your average Community Colleges general course offering; .. at least in my own impression without researching the idea better.) And, with this, where still considering this course, beyond this, where and with having completed the study of its main ideas presented, my having worked as its .. instructor's main assistant, for a period of four semesters following.
"I've got this, "theory" .....
(And a "Mac".)
Wanna .. hear it ?
- - - - - - - - - - -
beginning, part two :
In point of fact, I got my "horticultural" training, working for a .. combination "landscape" and "vegetable growing" operation, the heads of which - (just slightly my senior / - I was about 35 at the time), were either interested strongly in the method of "gardening" and "farming" practice that I've suggested with having pointed to above, or either, in fact more directly involved in and with its being established. (As suggested - only, above: My chief mentor, horticulturally, studied directly under its creator.)
And, with this, they - as a group, had set up a "landscaping" business, more or less specifically, to foster their greater interest in organic vegetable growing and production; i.e. essentially, toward the idea and effort of supporting better, their being able to finance a main business effort .. (more ideally) the main focus of which would be the sales of freshly grown, organic produce, flowers, and ornamentals.
Narrowing my account of my experience working for these people, this while working in and with a few different community garden projects / efforts, also at the time, .. where moving gradually away from this experience and toward different things, .. (and with having learned quite a bit more than I had known, when I had started with this group) I took another course in horticulture (a simple County course) before .. signing on to my home County's Juvenile Hall, as an advisor to its newly established "Gardening" program. (Essentially, I provided all of the advise to, and while working with .. different counselors over-seeing the programs main activities, this, at the main - and fairly extensive, "grounds"-wise, "facility" associated.) Beyond and following my four or so years spent at this job and site, I moved on to a "project" having started up and been somewhat established in San Francisco's "inner-city"- as it were; at which my job was to do pretty much the same thing as I had done previous and the Juvenile Hall program, albeit .. where working with a [female] "Sheriff's Duty", and adult "detainees" instead. (1000-fold increase in production be the time I left. Strong sales, increased notoriety, etc.)
I guess, opposed to my having gone through all of this history outlining different parts of my main horticultural history and experience, and where considering this part of the main "background" leading up to and having lent to my having developed my theory, that instead, I could have said, ..."With several years of experience accrued where regarding a specific application of my main horticultural training - much of it "on the job", ...... I grow steadily more, outstanding in my field."
But as I've suggested at least, above, .. this type of concise, summarization, just doesn't (really) lend itself to the tough sell involved where considering the main "theme" of my theory.
In fact I hope you'll pardon me on this account. (Not, the .. not "cutting to the chase" "part", . . @ but my attempt at levity, at the end of my short description of my past main horticultural endeavors.)
This, because essentially, my main reasoning behind having in fact included all of this background [...] above, has been to draw specific attention to the basic idea, connected more to my related main study of "weather" / meteorology, and/or "climate", .. that this study, has in fact stemmed (specifically) from my time spent working more horticulturally, .. as it were, "out", "in the elements" - specifically, .. generally for - a very least, 10 to 12 hours a day, for several years — for the most part, seven day 'a week.
Or, perhaps, in other-words, more in line with the main theme - or approach, which I've in fact chosen to open—my introduction—with above, .. I'm "being careful" that this more specific and tactile, is not in fact over-looked, where considering what I have to share - more theoretical.
Within my next post to this thread, .. I will begin - at least, to "introduce" some aspects of, and ideas relating to my theory, more specifically.
As a "clue" to just what it main addressed, take a look at the follow graphic which I've put together. (To be described and addressed more fully in the future. / - in fact accessible within my [newly - entered] main "signature" - to each of my posts submitted, with clicking on the words "wider graphic" - within it.)
