"Two bags save one life" was a slogan.

-During WWII, school children (U.S. and Canadian) were mobilized to collect milkweed pods because the fluffy floss inside was a crucial substitute for kapok, a buoyant fiber used for life vests that was no longer available due to the war with Japan.

Like a clock with no hands, 'time for a chocolate chips cookies' its always that time! ;-)

Reminds me of western New York State...

Garden of Eden, protected by the Flaming Sword...
