"All problems become smaller if you don't dodge them, but confront them. Touch a thistle timidly, and it pricks you; grasp it boldly, and its spines crumble."

- William Halsey Jr.


I am JaliscoPine, as in Pinus jaliscana, the Jalisco pine. This name I chose, stayed, and stuck. I write Wikipedia articles, which is now my largest hobby besides sitting outside in nature.

Botany, ornithology, ecology, and Minnesota history, well, that's about it for my expertise.

The family Pinaceae, as well as Poaceae, are my favorites. The plant genus Cypripedium, as well as Asclepias, are fascinating too.

I am not a social person, and have a hard time communicating with other Wikipedians on talk pages.

Notable Wikipedia articles of mine

I am now "partially retired" and am working more on personal writing, although I do visit Wikipedia every day, multiple times, to see what is happening, and what topics need articles or edits.
