Tim Bray has been taking great spring flower pics — I especially like this rhododendron. (He is further north…all the red rhodies around here have already bloomed & gone.) Also, “petrichor” is the chemical term for the smell of rain after a dry spell!

basically: “span[style]” plus “inherit !important” — I may be trying to override CSS that comes from other applications, so this could come in handy.

altho the wide range-style reporting makes it hard to compare apples to apples. (Did Maria Cantwell lose a lot of money, or just change the reporting range?)
