  7. On spite, I keep dropping ice shavings on the concrete in front of my almost blooming Camilla. Spite doesn’t pay, it either melts immediately or the rain washes it away. As always .....
  8. Don I just received notice of a book called Cranky Uncle vs Climate Change by John Cook, “it uses humor and Science to help stop the flow of misinformation at the dinner table and beyond”. It may help us, I before we, who would profit from a more pedestrian read. As always .....
  9. If adults acted as such, whether yea or nay, perhaps the children would have no need to step up early to fill the void. Sadly denial lasts only until the king finds a mirror that reflects the truth. As always .........

  12. Sadly, Don, the one lyric that could remain unchanged is “But you tell me over and over and over again my friend, Ah you don’t believe we’re on the eve of destruction” As always ...
  13. Almost 55 years ago PF Sloans “Eve Of Destruction” was recorded and released. Today, with an appropriate retooling of the lyrics, it could well serve as the background for the report Don kindly posted. As always .....
  14. The four most frightening words out of the over four hundred you wrote were “nature is about balancing” . Billy S. Said it best “What Fools These Mortals Be” .... as we end up in a never ending midsummers nightmare. As always ....

  21. It seems we are on track for an all blue polar summer ocean. How will the global atmosphere respond with a 24/7 multi month sun shining down on that ice free polar ocean? Im sure I’d rather not find out, if it is any way avoidable. As always....

  24. The neophyte hoarder begins by filling all the invisible places available. Drawers, closets, cellar, attic, garage. When all the spaces fill the invisible becomes visible and the twisted taffy of rationalization takes over. Everything is indispensable. The hoarder needs it all and cannot live without any of it. Eventually as the hoarder moves within the created canyons of indispensability, one column may collapse or an errant spark may take hold. The hoarder is gone and the space occupied is forever changed. As always ....
  25. I was a freshman at Brooklyn Technical HS. From what I remember the 707 and the prop plane clipped one another over the Narrows. The prop crashed on Staten Island. Much less pre bridge population. The teachers were all in the halls with the news. Ours came back and gave us an update. I guess it could have been even worse considering the number of schools in the area. Not sure if that was the same year as the aircraft carrier Constellation fire. Again during a snow event. I remember watching my small B&W tv as John Tillman described the scene at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. I think he was with ABC news. Sad month for Brooklyn and SI but memories just the same.
