  1. Good thought and understandable. In the urban environment the Gowanus and Cross Bx expressways, even off peak, are more like automotive conga lines. As always ....
  2. Morning, Julian, Irish. Our streets remained unsalted so I guess none of that was a major threat for the city. As always....
  3. “You are what you eat” and if that’s the case, Phineas, they will do no more than live the metaphor. As always ....
  4. I had it done over 20 years ago. It was considered ambulatory and I was discharged the same day. A Canadian synthetic patch was used. No problems with anesthesia other than the fact that I woke up near the end of the procedure. It must have been no more than twilight. Like Fella says no real issues. I was back to work in a week. No recurrence ever. As always ....
  5. Thankyou ELI. I read it. I understood it as best I could. To me it boils down to damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Unfortunately the Least Common Denominator is damned. As always.....
  6. Unc, I do remember that one. I was running a training unit for the USPS. NYC Morgan annex. I had passed through Penn station at about 6am and it was chaotic. The in coming system was already effecting RR transportation. I remember one of the units senior examiners, who had relatives west and south, arriving saying, I hope we’re ready for what’s coming. My last pleasant memory was shoveling after that 12+ hour day. As always......
  7. I believe you. Only in Heaven do you need a devils advocate. There will be no need for one as we are all roasting in .......... As always .....
  8. Irish, my brick and mortar bound maple finally, 11/09/2020, heeded nature’s call and gentle kiss. I also tried standing out in the postage stamp awhile. I never got natures kiss but sure as hell got the call. As always......
  9. Not exactlysure Julian, but I may take that as a compliment. As always ...
  10. Julian, perhaps a goat would be easier though I’m not sure about their fertilizer output. I should be the last one to give advice, considering I’m an old goat myself. As always .....
  11. That sounds like a plot twist in a Simpsons episode. Years ago I laughed when walking through the K Mart Christmas Shop in Penn Station. First because it was September, second, they had a pre-lit artificial palm tree on display. It doesn’t seem as funny nowadays. If I see a brief flash to the north near months end, I’ll know you were mowing late. As always ....
  12. Here’s hoping but all our forum members with lawns may end up running inside, between mower runs, to baste the Turkey. As always ....
  13. The weather channel came out with a prediction from some study, that 60% of the NE up to Maine will be snowless by 2100. With 80 years to go, coastal areas are making a run at that right now. As always .......
  14. I can say the same Irish, but only if I count the City Council Et al. As always .....
  15. Your fine. You can add an s to the original if you want.As always ....
  16. 9:50 am after reading all the wonderful observation post, I heard a gentle whispering in my ear: “ there is nothing sadder than an old man gazing out a barred, ground floor, back yard window, straining to see one snow flake”. I whispered back to my lost love “ you’ve been up there almost three years, please, use your influence and do something”. I felt a gentle caress on my somewhat damp cheek as the rain continued. As always ....
  17. No offense to Forky but in that neighborhood I was actually trying to avoid a big bird sighting. Your right about stumbling, between 10pm and 6am, in a dark apartment, I feel like Gunga Din on multi water calls. As always .....
  18. Julian, I haven’t seen that much grass, wet or dry, since I mistakenly stumbled into Prospect Park. As always .....
  19. I’ve lived in the neighborhood for 47 years. A consistent cold season snow cover is the very rare ( almost never ) exception to the rule. The slush puddles, enhanced by a generous contribution of City rock salt, have a freeze/thaw life of their own. I agree, no photo can compare to seeing such a magnificent creature in the wild. As always ......
  20. The bald Eagle photos were magnificent. Before my postage stamp gets a coating you will probably have already shoveled several times. As far as street side in my south Brooklun neighborhood, I’m not worried. The city will provide faux snow by salting with abandon. As always .....
  21. The beautiful photos posted by members in this forum and others are enough to elevate me. Now if the fresh air and scents could be delivered with the photos, all other stimulants would pale for me. As always ....
  22. Thanks RUNNAWAY, now I’ll be fantasizing about silver hair, powdered, beautifully aged service munchkins in your utopian society. As always ....
  23. I’m willing to pay my share as long as their are older age providers and senior discounts. As always .....
  24. Under strict gov/state/city control to protect the providers, maybe. Privacy issues, medical/maintenance issues and one hell of an interesting civil service entry exam. Probably not likely to happen. As always ....
  25. Perhaps they are practicing for the cold season. As always ......
