Err...I didn't have a video phone.  Eventually it all worked out, just
frustrating.  But then I never felt threatened with unemployment when I looked
at the younger competition.

  The jojoba, a shrub that is native to the Sonoran desert of the United
  States and Mexico, is under development as a potentially important
  crop plant for semiarid lands. The shrub, Simmondsia chinensis of the
  box family, Buxaceae, grows to an adult plant about 6 m (20 ft) high
  in 3 to 4 years.

  The jojoba is valued for its seeds, which consist of about 50 percent
  oil by weight. The oil resembles sperm whale oil and is notably
  resistant to degradation by bacteria. Thus far it has been used
  mainly by the cosmetic industry for making shampoos and lotions, but
  it is edible and does not grow rancid and could become a substitute
  for vegetable oil. It could also be used as a lubricant and for other
  industrial purposes. Commercial jojoba plantations already exist in
  the Sonoran region as well as in Australia, Ghana, and a number of
  Middle Eastern nations.
