Nicely done Ms Mappy. Perry Como sang it best. “Bless the beasts and the children Give them shelter from the storm. Keep them safe. Keep them warm. Light their way when darkness surrounds them Give them love” My lost love and I would go to the local churches to witness the blessing of the animals in the fall. I recall one year, at St. Pats in Bay Ridge Brooklyn the Cleric came around to each person to give an individual blessing. When he reached my wife she smiled and pointed to me. I got spritzed and it was well worth it. As always ...

Well played. As always .....

Mrs J in consideration of my present hierarchy of values that strawberry pie photo constitutes a pin up. I’ll stop right there with the metaphor. RDM I remember seasonal fruit in the last early fifties, when I was a boy. We loved watermelon. My mom bought several late in the season and stored them in a back, under porch, outside pantry. We had an unusual early season hard freeze and the darn things exploded. We also picked wild blueberries in the woods around Lakewood New Jersey. A different time, a different way. As always .....

Please post photos, the smiling emoji will be Mr J. when sampling time arrives . As always.....

I guess at 0 you can keep moving to stay warm. At 90 it’s inside with artificial cool air or outside immersed in sometimes questionable wet. As always .....

Draw a line through the middle and the direction is obvious and for the last few years seems to be accelerating. To use the words of an often maligned, sometimes controversial Professional Meteorologist and part time Philosopher. “ The Trend Is Your Friend”. As always ....

Please take care of yourself. The old company adage was when an employee buys it on the job the first thing you do is step over him and clock him out. I hope the penalty overtime provisions are being adhered to. Be well and safe. As always ...

Please try to get rest when you can. The fear in my Cobble Hill neighborhood was that The Cadman Plaza area protest would move west along Court and/or Smith. I just listen for the choppers. If I hear them getting closer then I figure trouble may be arriving. I’m happy the mayor grew some grey matter and realized a curfew tgat starts hours after dark was less than useless. We are a long way from Fred’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood. Right now it just seems like a long night in the hood. Be safe, As always ....

Just witnessed a corner store on Smith Street boarding up. Be careful, stay safe Anthony. As always .....

I was in college that. year and houses In Brooklyn with accessible backyards were actually drilling wells. At that time the concern for the quality of that water was not a factor. The well water was used, primarily, for pools and gardening. As always .....

Dry wit is the best medicine. Be well. As always ......

Not so H2O. It’s the overlay of the capital A that gives that illusion in the photo. Your legs, however, would definitely make some of the girls jealous. As always ....

Careful Forky, Mr. Scratch may be listening and you’ll never find a Daniel Webster in today’s reality. As always .....

Last I heard, he was just 26. Based on his avatars expression, perhaps that should be taken with a grain of salt. No matter even If you are older, H2O and your plumbing is still good, you’ve beaten the odds, well done. As always ....

Your mother is an amazing person. Your mom is able to create, use and internalize her own positive energy. May I ask how long your parents have been married?

S19 will be praying for NYC winter snow and Anthony for a change to rain before that happens. As always ...
