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.

Sal, why suffer here? The desert states awaits. Everything you’ve described is there. Brilliant cool to cold nights with a tapestry of stars that would rival Van Gogh's masterpiece. The days would be filled with brilliant light as the night bowed to the ascension of Ra. For you a paradise that the I 95 urban environment will not duplicate. You should rush to enjoy it, albeit being wary of the occasional rattler, scorpion and dust storm. A small price considering what your leaving behind. I’m to old for adventure I will stay, listen to and feel the rain , snow, and wind driven spray of an angry sea. May we both find peace. As always .....

So would I but locally it may be difficult, ongoing, to see it any time at all. 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 ......

Keep the Turkey warm, and yourself also. As always ......

Thank you also Chubbs. What frightens me is the fact, as stated, that the analysis was largely ignored. Somewhat like having a mystery where everyone, in fact, knows who did it but no one wants to admit it. And when the bell tolls it will toll for thee.

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 ...

When your young p, you end up doing yourself. When your old, yourself ends up doing you. As always ...

Even when the Forkster is All Wrong, as is his comment reply on Anthony’s engagement. He may actually mean well in his own disjointed way. As always ......

Noah. As always.....

Even if “from the mouth of babes “ is as old as forky. As always .....

Be, you must have been channeling, that’s exactly what my late beloved, also a teacher, would have said. As always .....

I’m not sure if using children, in the manner shown is wise, regardless of intention. The action becomes clouded by media hype and the true purpose compromised. The adult individual identified as closest to the movement becomes a very appealing target for negative comparison. More political back and forth, nicely avoiding the point into non discussion/action. “From the mouths of babes” is a spontaneous reaction to something not right or comfortable in a child’s mind. When the children start asking; “why doesn’t it snow here anymore” or later on “what is snow” the sorrowful parent/guardian will beg the question. The correct answer will already have been given by Nature, then, of course, it will be too late. As always .....

My mother once told me that love is blind but marriage is an eye opener. I’m positive you and your beloved are going into your union with 20/20, May your vision remain clear even unto the night of your diamond anniversary. As always ....

To change the mindset of power would probably require making the dramatic changes profitable. When will balance assert itself. Will even a catastrophe, such as ice sheet collapse, Greenland glacier disintegration, Gulf Stream interruption, Yellowstone caldera awakening, I wonder. I think of the extravagant fiction of Art Bells, The Coming Superstorm, than I stand in my Cobble Hill back yard look up and think that today’s, 86 degree, suns rays, a little over 15,000 years ago, glinted off the surface of an ice sheet almost a quarter of a mile above me. All the good intentions and the road that’s paved to, well I fear that (weather) we like it of not, a balance will be reached. I doubt it will be pleasant. As always ....

Don, it’s two minutes to midnight on the atomic apocalypse/climate change doomsday clock. While an atomic conflagration, is more immediate and physically frightening I wonder if it and climate change should be linked. Theoretically, even though not likely, if an outbreak of sanity took place in the seats of power and a decision to destroy all existing atomic weapons and the means to make them, the threat would instantly diminish and the clock would roll back. The climate does not work that way. If that same out break of sanity took place regarding climate would the clock appreciably change at all. Sadly a change of mindset, while welcome, can do little to alter the path, if it reaches a point of no return. As always ....

So as the Yahs and the Nays batter each other; the audience falls into a dangerous state of ennui. As I watch the fabled Northwest Passage open up every spring and wonder if Santa has flood insurance; I ponder the sad result of the above. Cover the eyes, the ears and the mouth all at the same time. What finally does get our attention may not be very pleasant. As always ......

Perhaps it’s metaphysical optimism. I worry about our seeming collective uselessness in taking action. What concerns me is if we lack the concern to effectively restore balance will we like it when natural order steps in to do it for us. As always .... and thank you for your reply.

So, what do you two really think about each other? As always ......

Blossoms In The Dust. Even from dust (hu) man can rise.?.?. As always .......

Thank you I.B. I closed my eyes and I was there. I could feel the dew as I walked, breathed and was caressed by the morning mists. The chance of actually being there is long gone. Dreams are easy and wonderful. It’s the waking that is difficult. As always .....

I think we should all make use of a coaster. As always ......

So true. With so little time left, I have so much more to learn, so much I should have but didn’t, so much I never will and so much well .... As always, ....
