Thank you for your kind suggestion. I sincerely hope you find peace. As always …..

Good morning wxtrix. It might work well to have such articles, if nothing more than to highlight how out of control the changes are driving the natural progression. If significant increases are obliterated by significant decreases in a 12 month period the direction/result/solution should be self explanatory. As always …

Good evening Don. The images below are from the book I mentioned. The late Willard Scott wrote the foreword. The second photo is of the centers 1996 tree trunk which was donated to a horse trials facility in Gladstone NJ. The third photo is of two 30’ and a 50’ tree erected with their root ball in 1942. They were Norway Spruces and were replanted after the holiday. No trees were lit during the war due to blackout. I wish that live tree replanting had become part of the tradition. Their is no indication of a trunk being donated to the NYC Botanical Garden. As always …

I’m curious, Will. His face looks fine, so is it his garb? His hair? His handkerchief placement? As always ….

Will, it’s the anticipation of that revenge that gets some weenies going. I’m not sure if that came out right but you know wha I mean. As always ….. Good evening Sl74, I wonder if rtd carves notches on his rolls. As always …. Hello Julian. I’m trying to make a connection between the two. I’m almost there. I’m just afraid of what the conclusion might do to me. As always ….

Good evening RE. It had it ups, daughters and grandkids and it’s downs, main building drain pipe split, roof gutter failed, the burner had to be replaced and I failed to close the lavatory door at shower time. As a result my mirror didn’t steam and I had to endure three cats laughing their third eyes off. If it wasn’t for the forums keeping my cognitive abilities at somewhat normal levels I would have really been fornicated. As always …..

Agreed and judging by his avatar he’s doing well. Keep stirring, Will. The pot needs it. As always ……

Good morning Liberty and thank you again for kicking my between the ears into first gear. I’ve always been fascinated by existence/life beyond what we know. We will always be constrained by Alberts, described, breaks of relativity unless we can discover how black hole rotation can do it. Or perhaps we can find, on Mars, Prothean artifacts that will give us the technology to develop mass relays. ( thank you PS4/XBOX ). If you embrace the faith/spiritual you may see the constraints as a necessary intelligently designed playpen until such time as we are matured enough to mix/contribute. if you espouse secular science and continuously seek prove/disprove you may see our existence as a proof that sentience pushes you forward at the expense/destruction of our own source. I have to find and re-read Uncles idea now. Now I’m waiting for my penance to start working. If it’s too slow I’ll start reading the news. Thank you again. As always …..

What boxers? …. As always

Their leaving might actually might be the first step needed to fix it. As always ….

No Don you were fine the problem is me. Years ago, as I finally remembered, I purchased a pictorial book on the history of the Center tree, There was even a conservation period where the tree was kept alive with a preserved root ball. One of the photos showed the trunk of one used in a pastoral scene. I’ll check my still real library to see if I can find it. Thank you for your prompt reply. As always …

Good evening Don. I had heard/read damned if I can remember ( it’s been that kind of day ) that the trunk portion of the Rockefeller Center tree was preserved and given for use in pastoral settings. Is it possible that the tree trunk in the last picture was from one of the Centers trees?

Good evening TBl2013. That amazing photo itself, has the look of a well placed/spaced virus. As always

Good evening Liberty. You are helping me by giving my last few brain cells a workout today. I agree with your passion. I do, however believe that your stated desire is more figurative. You have already wielded the most powerful weapon available ‘information’ it, when truthful, deals more damage than the torch. If the the Times, a paper I no longer admire, put this out as strict information then they did the right thing as they should always do. As a young firebrand ( no pun intended, Liberty, ) I believed that any CEO whose actions caused a company to fail at the loss of the livelihood of many should be hung publicly on gallows erected on either side of the NYC Park Ave green spaces. I believed these monsters deserved not a golden parachute but instead a golden noose. Now I’ve mellowed so I believe they should be broken down to poverty level, forced to live in a homeless shelter and given training in the fine art of dumpster diving. It seems though all violent actions result in some collateral damage. For this situation the pen and the word are powerful enough. And Liberty, you used them well by bringing it to our attention. Thank you, as always ….

WS sums it best, “What Fools These Mortals Be”. As always …..

Good morning h21. I use a full length mirror because the below the neck terrain is still capable of growing hair, if nothing else. As always ….

Good morning Will. Even though ‘Bad Poster’ is a matter of interpretation you and some (forky) others post as Salvatore Dali painted. You have to look to see. If you choose not to look carefully/sincerely/repeatedly then you will never be able to see clearly. The Johnny’s you describe are still at the crayon stage. As always ….

Good morning BW. I remember a senior Industrial Engineer going over line graphs with me 35 years ago. He said if your evaluating a performance and the graph is moving In a steady up or down direction then the operation is still controllable. If however you see significant spikes up and down continuing and grouping then your operation is in danger and needs intervention before a possible collapse. Your June to September/snowfall paragraph brought that memory right to the surface. As always ….

Good morning Don. Is it possible that all the water usage/redirection/ground pumping is affecting the air moisture content? After reading and rereading these two paragraphs, ‘worry’ about how much snow you may be blessed with in the cold season seems to pale in the level of concern. As always "…

Agreed Irish. That is exactly how I feel when standing in front of a floor length mirror. As always …..

Good morning I002. Specifics could be added to Drivers Ed and relicensing courses. As always ,,,,

I guess the good Mayor forgot his presidential run. As always ……

Good morning Liberty. It’s early and my cup of penance is half empty. I read your post/question and now I’m almost fully awake. With my aged brain cells working through this I, admittedly, am not having an easy time. If we could desalinate and move water from the oceans to world wide areas, in need, what would the results be? Deserts disappear, water table/aquifer rises, precipitation patterns changes? Will the ocean levels be significantly lowered if this movement was possible? Once the land sponge effect ends does sea level stabilize in the ocean/atmosphere/land cycle. What is done with all the extracted salt? Well, Liberty, I’m fully awake now. My silent prayer is that Tip doesn’t reply to your post. I doubt my ‘between the ears’ would survive reading it. As always ……

Good evening KB. I appreciate the sense of your post. My fear fear, though, is that folks stop reading/listening and revert to a ‘now cast’ based on a ‘now experience’. Yesterday during the day after the very early and very light rains with the sun out folks ( as did some of our posters ) disregarded anything but their real time observation. I happened to be out on an errand when the first early evening drops started to fall. Those out with me had no rain gear and ended up running for dry. Lesson learned? Of that, I’m not entirely sure. As always ….

Irish, Im not even sure what normal is anymore. As always ….
