bamboo update

imitating a recent visitor's search for "snooty waiter," an EV archive page popped up in google. on that page was a brief missive about my bamboo. well just to let you know, the bamboo had not been doing so hot lately. even the bonus third bamboo shoot that I had bought to keep the original two bamboos company was not looking so great. having withdrawn the bamboo to the furthest corner of the living room (since my experiments involving increased sunshine had merely scorched the leaves) there was nothing left to be done to rescue these wilted stalks. so I threw them down the garbage chute.
