       The year is 1988. The place is Mesa, Arizona.I am four years old and playing in my front yard. There is me, one of those little cars you pull back and it races forward, and a particularly fine example of the state plant of Arizona: Carnegiea gigantea. (2/x)

       You may be more familiar with that particular succulent by its common name: the saguaro cactus. And if you’re familiar with neither, you may have seen it in emoji form. (3/x)

       As a general rule you don’t want to end the day with too many more holes than you stared it with. You certainly don’t want to set a new record for puncture wounds at the local hospital.
