Good morning Rjay. Interesting, perhaps a bit frightening and certainly challenging for the folks living in the Fairbanks area. I took note of the degree day statistics. I would follow them for CPK in my younger days. I remember, at the time, you could judge the winter in the city by the final degree day season total. Over 5,000 indicated a cold winter and I believe 1,000 was the minimum cold indicator for DJF. Since July 1st we are at a total of 1,214 (newspaper stat.) As always ….

Good afternoon Don. It seems, locally, only the summer season can hold on to its identity. As always ….

And that was only before bedtime. As always ….

Good morning and Merry Christmas. Thank you. This photo I’ve saved. It not only dragged me into the light this morning but gave me something to give my daughters when they tell me. “Well, what can we give you Dad” I’ll fund the ingredients if they can reproduce this masterpiece it will be well worth it. As always.

Good morning and Merry and Happy D. Even though many of us remain sheltered in the warmth of our coastal plain, that graphic is just how it should be and may the light colors intensify and spread as far as climatologically possible. As always …

Good morning and merry Christmas BxE. Considering Rjays avatar you just might want to revise that advice. As always ….

Good morning and Merry Christmas, Rjay. Visions of sugar plums and lolli pops danced in my head … and …. thats where it stopped. Stay well and happy and even alone this morning I am blessed thanks to all of you. As always ….

Siting alone this early Christmas morning, I’m determined, this year, to finally take my own advice;( it is better to be wrapped in red, green, silver and gold than your own tears.) My 4th year trying. May we all find peace. As always …. Have a happy and merry ….

Good afternoon W B W. I would not argue the point even with the inner city meager evidence. As always …

Good morning Tip and we’ll done. As for TMI perhaps for some of us there wasn’t enough I. “…basically no life.” I refuse to believe … As always ….

Good evening W F. An interesting combination of anatomy, atmospherics and geography. Im not to thrilled with the location of my postage stamp, regardless of how well deserved. If anything that can change a pattern this may be it ….. as always ….

Good morning Irish. That’s wonderful .. unless … it’s BxE and/or Rjay having a little fun, with their portable snow maker, at your place before they head to S19’s abode. As always ….

Good morning and I pray all feel better and recover quickly. Perhaps we should seed the clouds with holy water. As always ….

Good morning thread bearers of good and not so good news. Another one of my fathers sledge hammer delivery lines was “many a true word is said in jest.”. It may apply to most monologues and the atmosphere. So .. 02/13/2022. May I be wrong, late. As always …..

Good evening g m w. I remember a Mash episode in which Hawkeye Pierce was talking about his hometown in Maine called, I believe, Crabapple Cove. He said the town always had a White Christmas beginning on Halloween. Living in my inner city urban heated environment, ensconced next to a warm ocean, regular snow cover will be a fleeting and often dream required event. I cannot and do not complain. Only I hold myself here. I do want the frozen precipitation to be where it should. The gorgeous north county that transitions from color to beautiful frosting on an end of year cake. As always ….

Good evening R E. I pray that the demand for your services remains high and of course that you and your family are fully recovered in short order. Oh and congratulations to you and your wife on the future new forum member. As always ….

Even shorter Question being … Will the box remain closed when balanced? As always …

Good afternoon Anthony. You should be careful how you describe that wonderful town. Caribou, aka Santa’s reindeer, may leave something other than coal in your stocking. As always ….

Good afternoon, w f. Your post inspired me to look back at the 1946 lyrics for 16 tons. I enjoyed listening to Tennessee Ernie Ford do it justice again. As always ….

Good afternoonNW. Your avatar is excellent advice for our sub-forum during the cold season. As always …

The greatest incentive for ‘power’ to change is usually economic. Faced with the loss of their “Almighty” is the motivation with the most effect. If sustainability is their only path to raking it in they will become its most influential backers. Rather than Bezos trying to find away to get his peers away from this mess he should be investing in making sustainability affordable at our level. Once Gaia in on the path of balance then and only then should the super r’s be permitted to escape. Rant over, thank you for listening, as always ….

Good morning Anthony. Knowing you through forum postings I find item 2 & 3 difficult to imagine. Of course you may have just been a teenager at the beginning. Item 4 would prove interesting today. As always ….

Good morning Liberty. Just to be clear on your all caps statement and particularly for anyone reading this superficially …. I know you mean economically and politically, as a wake up call. As always ….

Good late night Rjay. I just noticed the new thread. Well done. One caution though; considering your avatar you definitely do not want to get on the wrong side of whomever is declared super weenie. As always …..

RJay, it may become an end of year ritual and will probably catch on in the other sub forums. The all forums super weenie could be announced/crowned on July 4th. As always ….
