At my last breath, I believe I would rather follow the example of that young person, than the good old light at the end of the tunnel experience. As always...

B.W., that was a rather cold period, I was a letter carrier at the time. Some pundits were predicting the beginning of the next ice age. It raised the awareness of the terminal moraine in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. Come to think of it, all of Long Island might be considered one. Some end of the world, as we know it, climate science fiction came out, as a result. One was the The Seventh Winter, great story, it even had snow tornadoes. Science reality now takes over from science fiction as we anticipate the possibility of the first coastal snowless winter. As always .....

I have to start cataloging my closet full of Lionel sets and accessories. ‘$1,200’. Unc., when you are finished and on many levels, your set up, considering what you put into it, will be worth immeasurably more than that #.

I was 29 the year of the Bi Centennial, 1976. A parade of 18/19th century tall ships. An aircraft carrier anchored in the Narrows off shore road. Hundreds of pleasure and commercial craft vying for water space to watch the ship parade and fireworks. I remember seeining one of the old green Staten Island ferries listing with the crush of paid observation passengers concentrated on one side of the boat. The city was awash with sailors, crowds enjoying the sights. There were non, so it seemed, of the present worries about personal physical or health Safety. SPRTA22 you will see the Tri Centennial in 2076. Maybe you’ll remember an old man from the distant past that predicted it would be so. By that time, in our warming climate, the New England/ Northeast forum folk will be having melt downs because the rain snow line keeps setting up in central Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.

Congratulations! I hope to reach that milestone before the end of the year. The way I figure it and with apology’s to the competent statisticians on the forum, at my present pace I would have to live to 113 to catch up to Anthony’s present count. Of course by then he would probably be approaching a quarter of a million. As always.....

I remember DT going ballistic because someone quoted him as saying something negative about JB who he,mat least, respected at that time. One of my favorite lines, back then, was when some posters were giving a respected contributor a hard time and another poster said. “ someone contact DT, it’s time for a weeny roast. I briefly saw the sun, a few moments ago, but I think it was a false positive. As always....

Hell of a way to talk about the regions mater. As always ...

Whoever thought the simple term “Let us join hands” could be considered a threat. My daughter says we should practice, at a distance, Air Hugs. Even so, may this season of light, hope and redemption bring to all is us happiness and peace. As always ....

The mantra of the dictatorial/authoritarian leaderships. The Will Of The Few For The Suffering Of The Many’ As always ....

Amazing but sad statistics. It may not be appropriate to think this way, however, my instinct tells me you could increase the China numbers by a factor of 20 or more and still not be right. As always .....

Forky, does that mean no antibodies, therefore no immunity? As always ....

Oscar is about the best fit, at times. Bert could be a runner up for the honor. As always.

It’s like watching Sesame Street without the benefits. As always. ......

Your right, of course, I have blood kin in all the critical departments. Sometimes a little laughter is the only medicine we have left. As always ......

Uncle thank you for that “Positive” demonstration. As a card carrying, tax paying, mostly bemused member of the “Who’s on first citizens choir” I salute you. As always......
