It is a constant battle to keep the woods from reclaiming our house. I don’t buy this “fragile earth” stuff any more. Between the moss and poison ivy and the squirrels and the bugs, I am in constant battle. Oh, and don’t forget the woodpeckers!
I am wondering if melanoma is such a dangerous cancer because the melanin facilitates the overgrowth of cancerous tissue from the sun’s radiation. Also it makes sense that fungi, one of earth’s older life forms, could survive and even thrive in radiation, as the earth was far less protected from extraterrestrial radiation at the time they evolved.
