Monsieur Georges Louis Leclerc comte Buffon,
I am a young naturalist in search of a mentor. After careful examination, I have chosen to allow you the opportunity of training me.
Your ambitious approach to Natural History in observing internal morphology, breeding habits, distinctive characteristics, and varieties is the only method that will yield true knowledge.
Linneaus, with his utter reliance on external morphology, is in a fool's paradise. I would expect him next to attempt to divide all of creation into 2 types: that which moves when prodded with a stick, and that which does not.
Your system, based as it is on the fine strokes of the Creator's brush, is the only one I will consider.
Yours,
Guillermo Lopez
Naturalist
PS. I like your hair.

Guillermo,
You're such a damn good writer you get two blogs apparently. I think you should publish. Seriously. You're goddamn bloody brilliant you are. I'll be back here.
