They're all excellent.

And I am way behind on everything.

I meant to say contorted Filbert:

Years ago I had a Web client who was a big nursery. The owner wanted to give me one of these, but at the time I had no place for it. I'm so sorry because this is such an interesting tree. Since that time, the elm that was in the spot where I would have put it died of a disease. That disease is common to the elms around here.

I liked it so much, I searched for computer desktop wallpaper with those gnarly branches! Found a good one.
