Good dry/cool morning all. I generally pass on the analysis/possibilities expressed by the professionals and well versed hobbyists, in our forums. I have been doing that for several days for friends and relatives. Some thank you’s are starting to come in and I pass them on to the above mentioned. My son in law in Bay Ridge is in a row house with a ( at least 7 foot) below street level community back driveway. He sand bagged his back door even as the sun was out yesterday pm. I’m sure his neighbors were questioning his action. From what he told me, through the night, there are no questions now. He sends his thanks. All those, I have mentioned above deserve accolades but to this one, ‘who marches to his own drum’ professional I send a special thanks. To me, forky, you will always be a meteorological E F Hutton. As always ….

Good morning Irish. A picture may be worth 1,000 words but after viewing this you end up speechless. As always …..

Good morning Hitman. I fully understand and do not disagree with your frustration/anger. My consolation is knowing that CROW whether/weather eaten broiled, boiled or raw is still an impossible meal to digest. Stay well. May we all find peace and a patch of dry ground. As always …..

10:51 pm CPK 6.40 inches ( ref: NWS ). As always….

forky, keep this up and we’ll have to hide you from the Inquisition. As always …..

Lights flickered several times in downtown/Red hook Brooklyn Haven’t seen that in many years. As always …

Good morning larrye. Well at least with each other, they are both in good company. As always …

Thank you, SG69. I was wondering why they started winning. As always ..

My oldest daughter has MS. She contritely approached me and started to apologize while showing me her NYS ID card for the right to use medicinal cannabis. I stopped her. You are apologizing for the use of medicinal flora. Look around you and see how many, of age, folks are enjoying a brew or elevated proof liquid. Never apologize for medicinally improving your quality of life. My hug afterwards also helped. MS is a brutal disease. Not days, weeks or months but I know her years are numbered. As always ….

The lessons/effects of Prohibition were too easily forgotten. As always ….

Good morning gl. Your post inspired me, as follows: At dusk the skulking figure crept slowly over the thick layered ground. The buzzing began as he observed the target residence. Within seconds the cloud rose and surrounded him. His scream was cut off as his mouth offered another entrance for the insects. The next day the owner noticed the carpet of berries had grown considerably. They were still dropping at quite a clip and the wasps seemed to be busy making a new home right in their midst. With the loud buzzing fading the owner walked slowly back to his home silently praying for an early winter. As always …

Sorry I missed this gem, Irish. I noticed Julian didn’t. I may just hunt down one of those insulated jumpsuits. It would offer protection, if some parts of me decide to come back to life. As always ….

Good afternoon Irish. No problem as long as you don’t mention sun angle. As always ….

Good afternoon, Liberty. I understand your very good suggestion. I feel, if folks are not reacting to the adjectives dangerous and catastrophic, I wonder if ‘Super’ will really add to their sense of peril and ongoing ennui. As always ….

Will, if your not related to Mel Brooks you have to be an heir apparent. I, for one, anticipate and look forward to your production of Young forky and the History Of Piscataway, part 0. Might be difficult to cast. I can’t imagine forky having anything to do with a berg that has the word ‘cat’ as part of its name. Stay well, I’m going to amuse myself by walking faster than cars trying to navigate the latest construction/repair nightmare on the BQE. As always ….

Good evening, Liberty. I’d do the Gene Kelly bit but Im not ready for my 15 minutes and an obit. As always ….

Hearing rumbles of thunder. As always ….

I would have enjoyed that. He even did a rock video with the young lady who sang ‘girls just wanna have fun’. In his youth he teamed up with Tony Altimore as the Sicilians. A true performance artist. He would have been great In tv sitcoms if he had chosen that path. As always …

Yes he was. Known as the Italian strong boy when he first started. I remember when his championship belt was stolen out of his car while he was having dinner with heroes and villains alike at the Spindle Top restaurant in NYC right after a Garden event. He was interviewed on tv news. Monsoon was involved in some fun stuff. He actually trained Muhammad Ali for his mixed match against the Japanese Champion. Ali was, like many of us a Pro Wrestling fan. ( scripts be damned, it was fun ). He actually jumped into the ring during a Monsoon televised match ( all well scripted ) Ali’s handlers were having panic attacks. When Monsoon lifted him above his head and obviously gently deposited him on the canvas and was about to kick him with his size 20’s, Ali’s handlers swarmed in and dragged him away. The best Monsoon line came from the post match interview “This guy doesn’t know the difference between a wrist lock and a wrist watch”. Fun times great memories. As always…

My apologies Unc I’m still in the age of the Gramm brothers, Antonino Rocca, Killer Kowalski, Buddy Rogers, Gorilla Monsoon, Lou Albano and skull Murphy. As a young man, I had a crush on slave girl Moolah. As always ….

Not at all. Doubt can also be it’s own projectile, providing it uses statistical powder. Perhaps when all the walls have crumbled ‘reason’ can be the means for rebuilding. As always ….

Good morning BW. ‘Statistics’; the data projectiles that every wall of doubt must come up against. As always …..

Anthony if a dramatic losing streak begins right after your post, I’ll alert the 76th, aka ‘Hollywood’ and you can hide out at my postage stamp. As always ….

Good late afternoon all. My lost love would, as per a yearly August tradition, prepare an old Italian favorite, wine and peaches. I hadn’t had it in five years. My daughter surprised me with a container she made, right at the beginning of the current hot spell. I put it in the fridge not having any desire for it. I read your posts just now, looked out at my grassless postage stamp and went straight to the fridge. I will enjoy, feel better and remember. Thank you all. As always .…

Good morning, Will. I don’t envy your job. Critical analysis/decisions that ultimately affect many lives. “as global warming continues its long March to the sea ” is an apt phrase that saddens me not only for its seeming inevitable accuracy but also for the possibility that the sea may meet it half way. As always ….
