I would caution such a move as the main attraction often does not end well. Many of us, on occasion, use four letter words to express ourselves …. Love. Hate. @##@. &$#%, amongst others that we hold onto and then let go. I’m no stranger to them. I have been looked at by fate and kindly left the one four letter word that will always stay with me. Hope. This forum is one, an example of a kindness given to me. No matter how dire the future, in probability, as shown by our fine board members, I will not wish cast, however I will never stop hope casting. And before I get five posted for the good of all, I will leave you with this thought. ‘Even from dust humanity can rise’. As always ….. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You found it growing out of sewer grates, subway air shafts, your roof. As a kid in the early 50’s because of the pungent odor, when you broke a branch, we called it the Brooklyn stink tree. Even though the ailanthus seemed to rarely reach hard wide trunk adulthood it never seemed to lose its ability to multiply. My young opinion of it changed when I watched the movie ‘A Tree Grows In Brooklyn’ I never thought of it as a stink tree after that. Battered, bruised, cut, maligned and it still continued to struggle to grow. As always …… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
