True words! Not only is the knowledge almost gone but the land is stressed in ways it never was.

Gone are the flocks of birds so dense they would dim the sun enough to turn day into night. Gone are the great "chili givers" of the plains (do they need another name?). No longer will a school of fish impede the forward momentum of a ship...now I wonder... why aren't the blasted mosquitoes suffering the same fate?
