These...i'm glad that you liked the series, kvd. These series pose an interesting technical challenge. I have a 500 word limit on the columns, each column needs to stand alone to some degree, but still link. I hadn't quite intended this series to be as long as it ended, but even then I was leaving material out. <br /><br />I never quite know what will fall out out of your collander mind! I hadn't heard of Basmarti Blues. Reading the Wikipedia entry, it doesn't sound as bad as presented! I wouldn't mind seeing it! The hybrid corn one brings in a new possible series about that remarkable man, Don Shand. I have written about him a little, but it is a good yarn. <br /><br />Jim Belshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075614280789984767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24338064.post-35588396605491266342019-06-19T06:14:23.193+10:002019-06-19T06:14:23.193+10:00Brilliant series Jim - thank you!

Carries my earnest recommend to your other readers as a worthwhile hour spent.<br /><br />That brief mention of hybrid corn being unable to produce seed for the next season triggered the collander that is my memory these days: a similar issue with rice was, I think, a flashpoint in an Indian film called Basmati Blues - otherwise forgettable except that the token European actress, Brie Larson, later ended up as the female lead in Captain Marvel.<br /><br />A sidetrack, as always :)<br /><br />kvdAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
