Nature Notes
"Seawater covers two-thirds of the earth's surface" is the first pronouncement of every text on the subject of oceanography.

Notes From Madoo
When you design and install a garden for someone else, you have to know a great many things about them in order to a) make the garden look right and b) please them and c) make it seem as if the project was a logical extension of their personalities. The Smiths' garden should not look like the Jones' garden because Mr. Smith is not Mr. Jones and does not share his tastes, equal him in purse, is a gardener, unlike Mr. Jones, who isn't, has three large, largely rambunctious dogs as opposed to Mr. Jones, who has a fat old cat. And so forth.
