  1. It’s a skill to recognize edible mushrooms. I remember, as a boy, older relatives going to, still existing, undeveloped land areas in the boroughs to harvest edible greens and mushrooms. You never guessed with a mushroom, being wrong and ingesting the error could be deadly.. I guess under the right conditions you might never starve with a good tract of uncultivated land. As always ....

  3. Amazing, I wonder how long it will take the fIrst commercial venture, that sees good ($$) In any condition, to advertise romantic cruises to the pole under the midnight sun. As always .....
  4. I remember as a very young man trying to reconcile the spiritual with the scientific. Two powerful “S” words. When did we become human? One scenario that stuck with me was a piece that described a living creature standing on a moonless dark plain or savannah, looking up at a sky filled with stars and wondering. At that moment the selection stated humanity began. Ironically, some time later I came upon an illustration by a spiritual publication and it showed a similar scene with a person staring at the stars. The caption read. “The fool says in his heart, there is no God”. The phrase, albeit, the first nine words resonates with me today and can be applied to many of our collective secular or non situations. I remain with the sad truth that still, “ The fool says in his heart there is no ............”. As always .......
  5. I appreciate the gesture. I’ve found that much beauty is hidden by distortion. If you ever bring back, even briefly, the delightful senior ladies, I’d be very appreciative. As always.......

  17. Thank you, Don, for another difficult read. It’s ironic, I was watching the 2004 disaster movie, Day After Tomorrow, when I opened the link. I’m an old man with zero skills in the atmospheric sciences. I do remember hearing a simple explanation of a storm/weather extreme as the atmosphere seeking a balance. The atmosphere cares not for our politics or our debate. I fear that with or without us the balance will be sought, executed and achieved. As always .....
  18. Interesting topic, LB, conceptual plagiarism. As always .....
  19. Thank you, my friend. Until that time, as always......
  20. My sympathies for your loss on this, your Mrs.birthday. Indeed we share pain, so many of us, we could be a forum unto ourselves. My lost love was born on December 18th. She loved that time of year. I still keep, in her memory room, a fully decorated 4 foot artificial tree, the last one I bought for her. It was the final tree and our last celebration together barely seven weeks before she left. The memories often bring tears but somehow those same memories also manage to sooth the pain. I look at her portrait and sometimes whisper “Vaya con Dios, until we meet again” as always .....
  21. “As you sow, so shall you reap” what an outstanding crop you will have, Mr & Mrs J. As always ....
  22. Lovely photo. It brought back memories for me, sadly long gone. The portrait was done a year before we met. Her memory room is where I can still see her. It opens up to our postage stamp. There I can walk, remember and dream. As always ....
  23. I know he’s the one in the shorts, it’s just, well, the Flamingos look pretty good to me. As always ....
  24. I’ve never had the pleasure of meeting or seeing, however if I understand you correctly, despite a gap of generations. Mrs rjay did a much better analysis job of predicting the happiness Of her future than any of our Long term climate models. As always ....
