So that’s what happened to your avatar. As always .....

My pissed off Geraniums wanted to know what happened to the blowtorch wielding professional Meteorologist, named after a kitchen utensil. Thanks, Forky, at least I have something to tell them. As always ....

Thank you kindly. In my little patch of NYC UHI heaven, I may, the way things are progressing with coastal climate, have to look at the feasibility of a roof snow making machine. That’s if my roof effect snow can reach the ground before melting on contact. As always .....

Thank you, although at this stage I’m more of a pig in a blanket. As always ......

Finally, a reason for climate change we can all agree on. As always......

A great photo and i hope it’s a long term lease. As always ......

Oh well, first we had a group that couldnt measure, now we’ve upgraded to a group that has yet to figure out that weather/precipitation can be a 24l7 phenomenon. As always

Nor the long lingering aftermath. “and the sun has come to earth” as always ......

Too many think of any type of life as an expendable statistic. Unfortunately that type of thinking is likely global. As always ......

Forkys like a kid with a blow torch looking for a gas leak. As always ......

There there, Forkyfork. Think of how the people your stuck with are feeling As. Matter of fact you may get revenge just by staying there with them. Either way you all win or lose depending, of course, on your perspective. As always ....

At my last breath, I believe I would rather follow the example of that young person, than the good old light at the end of the tunnel experience. As always...

B.W., that was a rather cold period, I was a letter carrier at the time. Some pundits were predicting the beginning of the next ice age. It raised the awareness of the terminal moraine in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. Come to think of it, all of Long Island might be considered one. Some end of the world, as we know it, climate science fiction came out, as a result. One was the The Seventh Winter, great story, it even had snow tornadoes. Science reality now takes over from science fiction as we anticipate the possibility of the first coastal snowless winter. As always .....

Our American poet, Paul Simon, wrote the line “preserve your memories, their all that’s left you” , whether you are young or old, he was right. As always .....,

Considering the present reality, both photos are very comforting, well done and thank you. As always ....

If you have photos of that set up I would really enjoy seeing them. As always .....

I have to start cataloging my closet full of Lionel sets and accessories. ‘$1,200’. Unc., when you are finished and on many levels, your set up, considering what you put into it, will be worth immeasurably more than that #.

To me it looks like a declawed, green under the gills, blue crab. As always ....

I was 29 the year of the Bi Centennial, 1976. A parade of 18/19th century tall ships. An aircraft carrier anchored in the Narrows off shore road. Hundreds of pleasure and commercial craft vying for water space to watch the ship parade and fireworks. I remember seeining one of the old green Staten Island ferries listing with the crush of paid observation passengers concentrated on one side of the boat. The city was awash with sailors, crowds enjoying the sights. There were non, so it seemed, of the present worries about personal physical or health Safety. SPRTA22 you will see the Tri Centennial in 2076. Maybe you’ll remember an old man from the distant past that predicted it would be so. By that time, in our warming climate, the New England/ Northeast forum folk will be having melt downs because the rain snow line keeps setting up in central Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. As always

Congratulations! I hope to reach that milestone before the end of the year. The way I figure it and with apology’s to the competent statisticians on the forum, at my present pace I would have to live to 113 to catch up to Anthony’s present count. Of course by then he would probably be approaching a quarter of a million. As always.....

I remember DT going ballistic because someone quoted him as saying something negative about JB who he,mat least, respected at that time. One of my favorite lines, back then, was when some posters were giving a respected contributor a hard time and another poster said. “ someone contact DT, it’s time for a weeny roast. I briefly saw the sun, a few moments ago, but I think it was a false positive. As always....

No wonder I feel so twisted today. They look so darn good. As always

I had to go to Bay Ridge today and was amazed at the number of folks walking the shore between the Verrazano Bridge ant the old ferry pier. It was gratifying to see that everyone was Wearing protective masks and keeping a safe space and pace. It was also nice to see couples holding hands. The restrictions will be more difficult to maintain once true late spring/earl6 summer .weather really get going. As always ....

Hell of a way to talk about the regions mater. As always ...

A field of iceberg lettuce? As always.....
