madbakerSomething about walking during lunch today triggered a childhood memory.
I remember these things we thought were leaves. They were probably seed pods or something similar, though. They were vaguely feather-shaped, and what made them cool was their structure: if you dropped them, they would rotate to where they were perpendicular to the ground, and they would start rotating like a helicopter rotor.
They were pretty common in the Bay Area in the '70s. Anyone remember these? Know what species I'm talking about?
