You can thank the U.S. Navy Seals for this nugget of wisdom although it may go back as far as Napoleon. “Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.” It seems counter-intuitive or at least paradoxical.

Daily Postcard: A Red-naped Sapsucker is busy making rows of holes to extract sap from a cherry tree Tuesday in the yard of a home on Barranca Mesa. Red-naped Sapsuckers are industrious woodpeckers with a taste for sugar. They drill neat little rows of holes in trees to sip the sugary sap that flows out.
