Hey Jerry, what's this harsh anti-lepidopterist line you're taking? We lepidopterists are just about ready to come up and picket your house. We (our cats, anyway) have no choice--we have to chase butterflies. And that's where we find them--in a field. And just think of all the aerobic exercise we get chasing them. It's no wonder that in a scientific survey, 58% of doctors found butterfly chasers to be much less likely than folk musicians to be overweight, and in better condition in general. Of course Jan and I are now trying to plant milkweed, also known as "butterfly bush"--to attract butterflies (specifically monarchs). But if we do, we won't be chasing them anymore--they'll come to us. So maybe, in the interest of our own health, we should rethink this.

(Sorry--I'm in a whimsical mood--I actually know what you're talking about--and I applaud you--and anybody else who makes music.)
