Apparently climate change can be added to the topics that should be avoided if a civil discussion is desired. All of us are entitled to our opinions and a respectful listening. I find the ease of generic labeling based on an opinion troubling. If all voices cannot be heard respectfully than we are already living in Mr. Simons World. “Hello darkness my old friend”. As always ....

The city or the threats? As always ......

Considering the CPK foliage effect, I’m wondering if facial hair can effect real feel temperature accuracy. As always .....

Great photo. The straws are interesting. I guess they are a safer alternative to the chug a lug. Used in a glass they would certainly curb the incidence of foam beard. As always....

Dickens/Scrooge had his four spirits that led to and ended with a path to redemption. We also have four but they are all horsemen and redemption is not their plan. “-Gray, unhealthy air. A blood red sun. Flakes falling from the sky, coating everything below in a layer of white.. not snow but ash” The above line could have easily been a paraphrase from Dante’s Devine Comedy. Our play will end some day the last sentient being, perhaps named Tonio, will ruefully expire, crying out “The Comedy Is Finished” as always .....

Thank you again Don. The old verbiage that a picture is worth a thousand words certainly applies here. After viewing this graphic presentation, I wonder if we have a thousand words left. As always....

Don’t be so hard on yourself. You just might be the Crustacean cure. As always ......

I can almost hear RJ laughing his butt off as the frozen precipitation line of the snow cane sets up north of your area. If I’m still here, doubtful by that time, I will definitely stand out In the postage stamp, with my face to the Sky, to say hello. I will keep my mouth shut, there’s no sense changing horses at this late date. As always .....

I’m in but if I, at that time, can’t make it that far could I possibly get a live feed to my postage stamp. I would love to see the entire sub-forum having fun while in full display of their herd immunity. If I’m not here and providing the atmosphere is cooperative, I will leave a request for one of my daughters to go to the row house roof and throw a bit of ash into the breeze. If I make it just look for the dust mote with a sense of humor. As always ....

Accurately so BX, by the time I could afford my own windshield I already had a license for those activities. As always ......

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 .....

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 .......

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.......

I wish we could do the same with your avatar. As always.......

Machines that make machines to be sold by machines for the use of other machines. The common persons final contribution, of course, Soylent Green. As always .....

Self investment, absolutely. Revised/additional color neutral hat slogan MAGAMA (Make America Great At Manufacturing Again) As always .....

Thank you and agreed. Your last line was the savior. As always .... (I do love Science Fiction) even though, lately the fiction seems to be fading. As always again....

Easily in the movie industry “typhoon Tip staring in the New atmospheric, climatological pre sequel thriller, The Day Before Tomorrow” I know, i know, read more post less. As always .....

Rectal? As always ....

Conceptually and demonstrably a cold month in the NNE. Still, being out side of even the meteorological defined winter, it would have to be a below normal late fall month. As always ...

For that H V you will have to research the work of Immanuel Velikovsky. He wrote a tome “Worlds In Collision” 70 years ago it caused quite a stir. It is said that at the time of his death, Albert Einstein had a copy of Velikovkys work on his desk. As always......

Well, we have S19 to throw a reality damper on snow threats. Maybe he can morph into a warm season version H19 and do the same for tropical threats. Anthony will be there, for the joust, regardless of the season and our good Moderators can still keep the limit to five. (I know Irish, I need to get away from the postage stamp more often). As always ......

For the sometimes snowless five boroughs it’s the anticipation of the first event. It seems even a chance of snow flurries can be hyped to biblical proportions. Our city’s reaction is also an over or under proposition. At times the depth of the salt will surpass the depth of the event. Other times everyone is screaming for the spreader. What is Usually left, in our UHI paradise, is a slush shovel Festival before the inevitable overnight freeze. I enjoy hearing the squealing laughter of the young ones playing in whatever falls. If I’m fortunate and the frozen precipitation continues Into the daylight hours I wander into my postage stamp, standing alone and pondering all my loses. I look up to the shrouded grey sky and wait for a flake to touch my face and melt. When that happens everything, for me, becomes good again. As always ....

A day of reckoning eventually comes for all of us. As always .......

I imagine the implications may become personal for many when the task of pumping and sandbagging become every day tasks. As always ....
