Thank you LB. You’ve proven to be better than Kindle. Ignorance is bliss until knowledge/reality rips the door to your sanity right off it’s hinges. The balancing of the atmosphere may be ours. As always ....

The hive is a combined and practicing intelligence. The mob is a swarm without a positive/productive intelligence. “No man is an island” but for some of us and for the good of all we would be better off that way. As always ....

I remember when it was sadly mentioned on the forum at that time. A tragedy then and still is. Anthony, your father is still with you. His persona resides in you. You have done well under difficult circumstances. You have a career in law enforcement, a future partnership that will bear fruit, keeping you happy for decades to come. You should, of course seek and listen to the advice of others. When the time comes, however, the spirit of your upbringing and your own counsel will hold true. Be well Anthony and make sure you give your children a decent wage to shovel. As always .....

Don for some of us the adage “ a little knowledge is a dangerous thing”. Applies quite well. Now I’m wondering what a lot of knowledge might do. As always ...

Rjay, if ‘control’ bans terms/words such as fail or bust it would force many of us to invest in a thesaurus. Might not be such a bad thing. As always ....

Perhaps a name change would help, Anthony ..... “ Long Range Maybe “ is a thought. As always ....

Thank you and Mr Cosgrove for the information, Idub. The atmosphere, regardless of the effect on who, what , where or when is determined to balance the books. Well back to the Tabernacle Choir rendition of ‘Over The Rainbow’. As always .....

In the case of mob mentality. the more minds you put together the less sense you end up having. As always ....

Morning Irish. Save your post for May, you’ll probably be able to re-use it. As always ....

Morning GL. She must have been referring to the CPK zookeeper measurement service.. as always .....

I wonder if our species will ever come to a realization that we do not have a monopoly on sentience..... As always.

If frozen fate smiles and I catch a snowflake landing on the postage stamp you’ll be the first to know. I’m hoping one of the later events can give my little UHI piece of paradise something measurable. I’m tired of that, finally gone to its fauna heaven, tomato plant whispering one and done. I know I should pull it up and recycle but I can be an obstinate piece of ####, also. As always ....

I believe if it increased the frozen ratio the N/NW neighbors would be on board and end up owning fine, in land sea shore, home sites. As always ....

Thank you Liberty I read this as a young man, about 55 years ago. A time in my life, during my early college years, that I questioned everything. Two other quotes, I remember have stuck with me. One was in a pictorial religious tome showing a man standing and looking at the majesty of the stars/heavens. The quote under the picture stated; “The fool says in his heart, there is no God”. The second was in a science tome discussing when the bipedal animal that walked upright could actually be declared human. There was a similar illustration showing, instead, a primitive hominid staring up at the heavens with this quote underneath. Humanity began when the foraging creature stared up at the stars, paused and wondered. Science and religion are often shown in an adversarial context. Yet if their ever is to be a proof of an intelligence behind creation, it will be science or a product thereof that finds it. As always ....

I believe the reason their laughing is because they looked like us before the got the message and learned the lesson. As always ....

Good morning, L B/G L. Considering that the above sea level altitude of the postage stamp might equate to a bump in the road; I will definitely start stocking survival supplies when the five boroughs start to get buried by ocean effect snows. As always ....

I don’t believe that word has ever been aligned with a happy ending or for that matter has ever been reversed. As always ....

Evening gentlemen. I was going to offer the Reaper the Postage Stamp as a day trip destination for Panic Room undecideds. I felt, on reflection, that it would be like rubbing salt into an already dry sidewalk. My, finally gone to its reward, tomato plant still echo taunts me with a continuous repetition of “One and Done”. As always ....

Folks close together, full faces showing, joyful fun in the snow. It seems as from another distant time and era. Someday, perhaps again ...... As always ....

Good observation and I guess, depending on plate movement, not likely for awhile. I often wonder if, instead of the Mississippi, we had the shallow inland sea that was believed to have existed. How different would east coast weather be? As always ....

W, a few old sayings I remember from work “one “oh ####” is worth a thousand “ attaboys” and “What have you done for me lately” WELL you WD have done a lot, as I’m sure many of us will agree, for us lately. For that I personally Thank You for your competence, use of personal time and your demeanor. As always ....

My guess, Liberty, is that a malign reagent, that activates with the melting, was somehow encased in the icicle. As always ....

Anthony, I believe S19 is more of a skeptic in delivery. Its perhaps advisable to have a skeptics view is a sea of hearts and floweres. That individual will likely be the only one to find the leak in the boat. The Gods are kind in allowing it to be foisted on you for a limited amount of times daily. As always ....

A person in the 19th century wrote that religion is the opium of the people. The foundation of ones faith is what, often, keeps hope alive. If the ability to have faith is removed the results of withdrawal are self evident. As always .....

I should of included your partner as part of that blessing. A fact that is .... As always ....
