As does every other night of the week. I won’t be one of them in any direction. As always …….

Good morning Liberty. Interesting, after a night of drunken excess, who you find yourself in bed with, ‘after’ you wake up. As always …..

Good morning Tip, I’ve read and re-read this wonderful foray into ‘truth is stranger’ than science fiction genre. It alarmed me more than any of the present dire predictions. As always …..

Good morning Julian. As an unknowing well preserved city slicker, wandering the green, grey, brown. wastes of my postage stamp, you know I have to ask ..Why?.. As always ….

Good morning BxE, Irish. They would probably have to be empty to do so. As always ….

Good evening WxW007. I know that the Reaper is busy sharpening the scythe and the Sweeper is still on guard with the broom but now, thanks to the observation and experience of Phineas C, we now have the ‘Beeper’. As always ……

Good afternoon t. It will take more than that to take a solid Mainer out. Thank the fates just the same. I’m a relatively healthy 74 year oldster and enjoy power walking. No medication and no heart issues. On May first I came home from a several mile inner city walk and didn’t feel quite right. I did the natural our gender thing and figured I’d lay down and sleep it off. The only reason I’m posting this now is because I decided to call my children and ask if one of them could come with me to the local urgent care. My daughter said “sure” and immediately called 991. Next thing I know, my two sons in law our at the foot of my bed and my daughter is on the bed with me. The doorbell is ringing and two magnificent NYCFD EMT’s are hooking me up. They looked at the reading and started working faster. At that point I could barely talk and was gasping. The EMT’s kept talking to me and explained they were going to inject a drug into me and I should feel better. After I did feel better they told me what it was. It was a new drug that stops and restarts your heart, like rebooting a computer. It worked, I felt great, yet I still had to go to the hospital. There I was told by an electro cardiologist that I could be on medication for the rest of my life or undergo a curative treatment called catheter ablation. Easy choice for me. Five day later I was out and no medication needed. My primary and the drug companies are still annoyed at that. I was back to power walking by May 10th and haven’t looked back. Sorry for the long winded tale but it is a skill of mine. Happy again at your recovery. As always …

Good morning dW. I remember, as a kid in the 50’s, listening to the news and hearing the commentator refer to a legislative time table in DC. He said the hope is that it would be wrapped up by Nov 15th, the time the first snow flys. That always stuck with me, growing up, as that or an earlier date for such an event became rare even considerably north of the Capital area. As always ….

Good morning Liberty. Thank you for the ‘ I’ll never doubt you again’ article.’ I read it and find the lack of environmental concern interesting. Hopefully, long term, this species blends into the area and helps cull some of the malevolent critters in the insect population. As always ….

Good evening Will, Liberty. I’m a bit concerned, Liberty. Either your reporting the news, tongue firmly planted in cheek, or your channeling Edward Davis Wood Jr. As always ….

Good afternoon CW. I imagine that ‘woke’ your surrounding area. If as a result, the forum has an epic cold season, you will be expected to Godiva every 10/06 from now on. As always….

Good evening BxE. He can still strike five times before he’s caught. Which is also the number for the second line of his song. Considering my alter ego, I better make sure the spare capes are pressed. As always ….

Good evening Liberty. My hunch is that it wasn’t an oversight. As always …

Good evening Brian. I do buy it. I enjoy the spectrum of advice/information laden articles. As for the weather I give them credit for the effort. The coastal plain area is called the Atlantic Corridor and my postage stamp is located about 2/3rds up the coast S to N. As for the frozen precipitation forecasts. Well, in their words: Dec 2021 18-28 snowy periods, 29-31 snowstorm. Jan 2022 7-15 snowstorm the only other notable item to my eye is a heavy snow to, than rain north forecast for the 17-19 of March. As always …

Good morning all. The photos are magnificent. Looking at them I can almost breath in the fresh scent from these autumnal scenes. Some think of this as a time of dying. I look at the leaves transitioning to beauty and therefore leaving, with us, a promise of their return. As always ….

Good evening Will. I want to thank you for the ‘weenie’. I have to remember, now there’s a stretch, to be careful what you ask for. Even so I’m still happily celibate. As always ….

Good evening Nycw . I can appreciate your logic and perspective reasoning. The problem as I see it is the word ‘real’. Those temperatures were real several hundred years ago now real is defined by concrete/asphalt/leaking central heating/ and a boost temperature CO2 atmospheric additive. As a ridiculous suppose. (You can give me a by for age and booster side effects, ) ….. suppose the developed city existed as half mile tall edifices in the confines of What is now Central Park and the rest of the city limits ( same territory ) was 5 borough park land. The ASOS is in a square acre central court amidst the buildings. Now that would give Don’s sensitivity analysis a run for it’s money. I am still waiting for an update from my correspondent in the NWS ASOS group. He did ask me to have patience. I apologize for the fantasy and ramble and thank you for your patience. As always …

Agreed. Considering combustibility, a hell of a defoliant. As always ….

Good evening Irish, BxE. It’s happened to me at night without the cigar. As always….

Good morning psv88. It seems, as per the present course, our grown grandchildren may be posting the same about October. As always ….

Good morning Julian. I’m not even sure the postage stamp will experience that by T Day. As always….

Good morning BxE. I just got back from getting the booster. I was the only one. Either all the relics like me have moved on or it was too early in the morning. I’m hoping for a specific side effect. I’ll know …. if I get an uncontrollable urge to visit the senior center. So far nothing. I’m looking forward to the seasonal music, fortunately there is no vaccine for that. As always …

Good morning Irish. You jogged a memory imbibe moment. It was similar to the special home brew Barry Firzgerald/Bing Crosby moment in ‘Going My Way’. I was given the privilege of tasting a very old scotch whisky. I was/am not a drinker as I have no tolerance. Breathing in a bouquet puts me over the driving limits. I was assured that unlike what I had experienced, this would be unforgettable. I tried it and it was. I understand the word smooth now, as it relates to aged spirits. The only thing I remember was the smooth warmth and the glow and that will have to be enough. Thank you for the jog down the lane. As always …

Good afternoon folks. This is turning into a rough thread. I’d weenie myself but I intend to remain celibate. As always …

= Good morning Don, Liberty, Walt. Liberty you never fail me while I sip my morning penance. I understand your frustration but we are finishing a month of much above normal rainfall with 95% of it occurring in two events and dry in between. I’m only looking at it from my UHI postage stamp perspective. It’s a bit different for Irish, Julian and perhaps even BxE. My concern/perception is not the amount but the delivery of the amounts. Even the same amount spread over numerous days with some overnighters might only garner excitement in the rain gear industry. My fear is, as I consistently repeat is extreme seeking balance. If the next 93 days remained rain free it would fall right into that pattern. Wherever our sentient engineered climate is taking us, ( weather ) we like it or not … we are going. Doing something about it is another question, another topic and perhaps not seriously/discussed in quarters that should be as concerned as many of us are, in this forum. Now for a power walk on a nice, cool, sunny morning as I contemplate next weeks unsettled weather. As always ….
