A half century after Rachel Carson’s tome and the Spring remains silent, if, in fact, it’s still there. As always ....

The planet or, a concept I enjoy, Gaia will self regulate and find balance. Whether humanity can survive that balance will be of no consequence to the planet. As always .....

Tip, In the middle of the last century, when I was young, I remember a teacher telling me that Australia looked like an upside down version of the USA. Looking at the graphic above brings to mind the picture of Dorian Grey or perhaps Alice through the Looking Glass with the Mad Hatter and Queen Of Hearts going full tilt. Of course, the Cheshire Cat looms in the background. As always .....

The Piper May be cheated initially but will let paid, at cost, in the end. Unlike that morality tales children, one might wonder what near and dear will be taken from us. As always .....

Providing my post thirty borrowed time doesn’t run out; a fertile coconut palm in my postage stamp UHI caressed back yard may be useful. I could have all the ingredients for a virgin colada without have to leave the premises. That is, of course, if the squirrels, after getting over their culture shock, allow me to harvest one. As always....

Sort of like the obesity epidemic. Even though it’s right in front, back and all around you, it’s still difficult to see. As always .....

I guess NYCHA uses the “do as I say, not as I do” or “you can’t fight city hall” reasoning. In my building I set the thermostat on the cold season settings on Oct 15th. I though that was a law/rule. As always ....

I heard on 10/10 WINS this am that folks living in Coney Island NYCHA project residences are complaining about the city not turning on the heat. Their Political Representative claims that the problem is the cities use of CPK temperature readings as a guide. The residents claim that being bumped up against a breezy cooling ocean makes the CPK temps not Part of their reality. The response from NYCHA: “We are looking into it”. As always.

My long term optimism is not as robust. “Not a certainty” well, may your fine statement be heard by whomever or whatever gives us comfort. As always .....

The question/plea, at least in our nation, stands; when will all of us be willing to sacrifice/suffer for the greater good of every one of us? As always .....

Thank you for the attachments, Unc My father told me, when I asked him about it, that it started, got heavy and just kept going. Surface transportation ground to a halt. Many of the trolly lines, still active in the city, certainly weren’t going anywhere. My dad said he hated the snow, yet he was the first one outside when the flakes started to fall. When snow was on the ground a week or so after Christmas, he would create a snow bank, place our large dried discarded tree in it and light it up. Made for quite a brief show on Bay Ridge Oarkway/75th st. Christmas tree burning was a ritual in those days, probably a felony today. Dad was a closet weenie but until his last dat with us, I would never have had the courage to tell him.. As always .....

You must have had your first experience playing in the snow during winter 60-61. If so only photos or parents/siblings could confirm. Thank you for the reply, as always .....

I was in College in Ark. for the Lindsey storm and was a letter carrier for the 78, “ it’s supposed to rain disaster” I remember the radio blurbs saying the change to rain would occur very quickly. 13 inches later the were right. If you count freezing drizzle as rain. I was only 8 months old for the Dec. 47 storm, I could look it up but maybe Unc knows, off hand, if that one was a surprise or, for the time, properly forecast. As always ...

Good looking out, Anthony. Better to be prepared nice and early to deal with the salt drifts.As always .....

“This Too Shall Pass” are four words that always gave me comfort. In reference to the video above I believe those four words are being answered by another four words: “Now You’ll Get Yours”. As always ......

When serious, full political spectrum action plans are implemented, I wonder which floor of the UN building the floating docks will be moored to. As always ...
