Trach, that's not easy -- though not impossible -- to interpret as a gift from the universe, nor, I think, is it an answer to SoberLeigh's gift.Leigh, the best I can come up with is a very surprising view of a partly dismantled showerhead.

Well, I read everything. Everything. And I remember. Someday's that's good. Someday's, not so good. But, I do remember. The true beauty of the internet is that if you have any clue about what you want to know, you can find it. Just like the encyclopedias of my youth. Down the rabbithole you can go, learning, learning, learning.

I was actually asked this question this afternoon after I re-tuned a very troublesome sewing machine. They had been fighting with it for days. I got it right in four hours.
They thanked me, gave me money and I left.

My abstract reasoning is pretty good, but I have few facts.

I guess with a name like Maypop you'd have to be edible.
These are edible - well, at least they're not toxic - and they're going nuts right now up here:

Yeah, edible. Damn tasty, too. You're lucky to get a ripe one because all critters love them. If you see a yellow "pop" grab it. You eat the inside, not the rind of most. Certain varieties can be grown domestically for fruit.
