From what I’ve read in the New England forum, their is a growing concern for the droughts effects on the flora and the potential for fire. Your fine graphic underlines their fears. As always.....

I hope an accommodation can be reached. I feel curbside use and an indefinite general extension of outdoor dining may serve the restaurants well. As always ......

I’m not up on the protocols, L B. How safe and are there controls for such a possible widespread use of propane heating? As always .....

Yes sir. Historical or hysterical depending on your politics and if you have to deal with city landmarks to get permission to do work on your own row house. I’m on Tompkins Place between Court and Clinton, Kane and Degraw. Where, if I may ask, did you’d sister live? As always ....

N, I believe the Tine man was referring to clothing. Other than that party on. As always ......

Amazing, possibly as far back as the 17th century. True craftsman and Masons. Their never ending supply of material, a gift of the ice ages. As always

I found the stone fences so natural. Did you or previous owners erect it? Is it older than your residence or the others in the area? It is graceful and unobtrusive what better boundary than earths own stone. As always ....

Some of us play chess with it daily and try to stay one pawn ahead. The stone fence in the photo, do you know how far back it goes? As always .....

Your Mrs sounds like a strong individual. If she ever joins the forum she will probably be known as Hit-ma’am. As always ....

I’m old, I R and even through this magnificent stretch of weather I’ve left my front window open. The invigorating morning low temperature forces me and my blood ( however much I have left ) to get moving as I venture into the wilds of my NYC postage stamp and endure the harsh 48 degree chill. As always ....

“Light their way When darkness surrounds them; Give them love. Let it shine all round.” A potent lyric and sentiment. One that, apparently, you have demonstrated many times. As always .....

How wonderful, how beautiful. We have so much to lose. I pray we’re not too late. As always .....

Tip is this an agreement on current thinking or a graphic with an ominous message? As always ....

I wonder sometimes why anyone needs an artificial stimulant when all you have to do is open your senses to the natural world. As you and others have aptly described in word and photo. The most effective drug ever created is all around us. All one need do is allow the high to take hold. In this case the hope is that it will become addictive. As always ....

UHI effect rarely fails us. As always....

My burner actually went on this am. Thermostat still set at summer levels, row house, inner NYC, UHI and a warm ocean as my next door neighbor. How embarrassing is that? As always ....

If I may Don, your Demonstrated and gentle caring for our planet means Gaia chose her custodians well. As always ...

I find those first cool days and evenings, at summers end, quite special. Standing in my Inner city, UHI blessed brick walled postage stamp, I can close me eyes, breath in deeply and feel I am in one of those beautiful photos posted in the New England forum. Of course, that lasts only until I open my eyes. I am alone now so nights can be extra chilly. It’s not really a problem. For me an extra blanket and a vivid imagination/memory serves me well. As always ....

That’s when push comes to shove. As always.....

S19 the afternoon of December 26th, 2010. As always ....

I was handed another find from my hall renovation. Several pages including the back page of the Tuesday, April 28th edition of the New York Daily News, 2 cents. 84 years ago the daily circulation was 1.6 million and Sunday was 2.9 million. Never see those numbers again. I’ve attached six pages including the back page. The pages show a highlight of the stock market still in depression/recovery mode, comics like Moon Mullins and Smitty, baseball articles, including one on the Yankees that mentions a young rookie named Joe DiMaggio. The back page, usually reserved for sports shows a picture of a battle cruiser heading to Panama for what I presume were war games. The winds of war were certainly blowing in 1936 and even a still neutral UnitedStates could feel the chill. As always....

Absolutely, today anonymity is truly a magical illusion. As always ....
