I remember that 51 degrees. I was on the roof of my Red Hook/Cobble Hill row house watching the fire works around lLiberty Island. I was freezing, it felt a lot colder, with the breeze, then 51. Frank Sinatra was part of the night celebration. I look at all the pleasure boats and every day folk close into the festivities. With today’s sad reality it probably could never be reproduced. Restrictive protective measures would have to be in effect. Thanks for the memory, Unc.

A good place to see creations palette, thank you. As always .....

How sad, the thought of a diminished star field, an unintended victim of us. I remember a May spring night. I and couple of school chums were sitting on boulders in a Johnson County field just south of the Ozark National Forest. It was 1968 and a warm tranquil clear night. No beer. Johnson County was a Dry County. No girls because, even though it was Friday the girls dorm curfew still kicked in at 8:30pm. I beLieve Saturday went to 9:30 and Sunday was rolled back to 7:30 with chaperoned parlor visiting privileges for a little longer .You don’t want to ask about Mon to Thur. We just watched the star show Having grown up in the Dyer Heights, Bay Ridge/Fort Hamilton neighborhoods of Brooklyn stargazing was not a memorable experience, except on July 4th, depending on which of us was able to get the best stuff. To this day I’m still surprised I can count to ten using both hands. The star gazing in that Ark field will never be forgotten, I even viewed my first shooting stars. They were frequent, it seemed to me. I recall seeing two cross. Sad to lose that to progress but it won’t be denied. Rather than squawking about it I should try to transport these old bones to place where I might see it again. At least I can still sit in the dark, close my eyes and remember. As always ....

Could the State generate an after hours park permit for those whose skills necessitate it’s use? Just a thought, as always ........

Many happy returns. Rain will never douse your candles. Snow, well maybe ....... as always

How can you say that, after spending the entire day hitting a little ball, with a club, through grass, weeds, sand, trees and finally water. All that to make it disappear into an almost invisible hole. You know I believe your right, the heck with golf, stick to the sport of Moderating. It’s much more satisfying. You also can’t lose.

Wow! Beer drinking in a water hazard while looking for his lost balls. He’s good. As always .....

Going after balls in the water hazard sure did a job on his lucky shirt. As always ....

Hubcaps aren’t doing to well either. As always ....

If only the water hazards weren’t at flood stage. As always .....

A pity CPK never used it. As always ....

That’s what you get for falling off the wagon. As always .....

Where I am lawns are an anomaly. Now concrete crack weed maintenance is certainly an issue. As always ....

Not a punishment at all. Who could complain about watching an adult, with a big stick, hit, almost invisible, little balls around thousands of yards of turf, rough, water and sand only to try to get said ball into an equally invisible small hole. “Not me” I’m fine with it. As always .....

At least the salt is gone. As always ....

Perfect place to send the Central Park folks foe measurement training. As always ....

Not to worry B, the salt drifts will cushion the fall. As always ....

Ref knyc your on safe ground. There is a greater chance for the sun to rise in the west than to get an accurate measurement in the park.

Focusing on the weather climate is a lot more enjoyable than following the political climate. Considering the above predictions there doesn’t, at the moment, seem to be much of a difference.

Mystery Babylon is finally revealed.......

Admistrator/Moderator. Invisible and visible warriors in the forum world. We are back. It’s over and Thank You for what must often seem a thankless job. As always ...........

Factor in the 89 degree days and two station are already there. A few stations may have a shot at fifty 89/90 plus degree days.

"She's" probably not to thrilled with you either.

Well placed and ... Imaged ...

May you and your harpsichord live happily ever after.
