Everyone, let us all put aside this squalid bickering that has infested this froup as of late...all this fighting is childish and energy - wasting...

It is ARBOR DAY, when we honor our FRIENDS the TREES...they never argue or fight or war with each other, they are stolid and stalwart and upright...they ask for NOTHING...could anything be more BLESSED than to be a TREE...a grand SEQUOIA...a hardy OAK...a loverly GINKGO...a APPLE, PEACH, or CHERRY tree...???

Remember, kids, it takes JUST as much energy to be HAPPY as it does to be negative...happiness ALWAYS yields better results...on yer tombstone do you want inscribed, "I Died Old, Bitter, and Stupid", or "I Died HAPPY :-) "...so go out and say THANK YOU to a TREE today...!!!

Anyways, here is a lil' tribute to our friends the trees:

"I am a large PLANT that can make all yer dreams come true.....I can be the
Grand Piano in yer living room......I am the House that you live in........I
am the handle on yer Broom and the Guitar you love to play.......I am the
Paper you read or write on and I can provide your Kids a College Education
or buy you a new Car......I can be made into Gasoline or be simple Firewood
for a pleasant Family Evening.....I can be farmed like Wheat or
Corn.......If you cut me down and use me, another Tree will grow in a short
time to take my place.....I am one of the Resources that Man has available
for him to use and I will be around FOREVER because Man has a LOT of uses
for me......"

Indeed, Ms. O...!!!

This weekend I am visiting a local Shakespeare Garden, a small local park that already has some blooms (a few weeks on it will turn into a lovely rose garden), and just generally perambulating about enjoying nature's bounty....we've had a cold and even snowy April, time to get out.

And if you could be a tree, what sort of tree would you wish to be...???

Â* Well it wouldn't be a pecan tree , people are always cracking their
nuts ... actually I'd like to be a big ol' red oak , standing alone on
the top of the hill . We really like trees , have many thousands of them
on our land . You wouldn't believe how many people think we should allow
the loggers in , they think it should be clear cut . Hey , the trees are
a big part of why we wanted this place ! We heat with wood , and with
care we feel we can improve the overall health of the woods by culling
diseased , standing dead , and otherwise not-healthy trees .

Red oaks are impressive trees. I have several.

But White oaks are the giants. They have the most palatable acorns. If
you are starving in a forest, and you know what a white oak looks like,
you will be drawn to them, much like deer. Some species of oaks produce
bitter acorns.

Â* And when the whites are fallin' the deer are going to ignore your
bait corn . We have several species of both white and red , plus hickory
, wild cherry , red maple , and others . They seldom attain their
potential size in a dense forest , but we've got some big'uns , most of
these trees are between 60 and 80 feet tall ...

I've got a large stand of shagbark hickory in the hedgerow between two
fields, about a hundred trees, some about 100' tall. They are on my
back property line, when I was putting up No Trespassing signs it was
near impossible to drive in a nail.

But then you'd live in California and that sucks.
I think a Dawn Redwood is far nicer, and has been around a lot longer.
I'd rather be an Acer Griseum, much more handsome, and the girls like
to touch and fondle. A sycamore is lovely too, if you have the space,
made for tree huggers, and the ladies are mesmorized by its balls.

Popeye, yoose can do one of two things:

Yoose could get yoose ole mammy or yoose ole wife, or a young
neighborhood girl scout to drive dat nail for yoose. If yoose do the
latter, yoose can also ogle 'er lil tits while she works.

Or, yoose could open up a can of spinach and eat it before yoose try to
hammer on dem nails.

Good luck sailor.

I think if I had to move to the US, I'd pick the Californian
countryside. Seems to me that would beat all the snow and rain of the
east coast. If I'd wanted that I'd have stayed in the Netherlands.

Depends on where. Some parts of CA have very pleasant climate and
people but a lot is crowded, crime infested, and too darn hot and dry,

Most of it is becoming like that, San Diego has a very nice climate, where I
am in the San Joaquin Valley, it's hot as Hell in the summer. I'm a Pacific
Northwest person who was transplanted here almost too long ago to remember.

It's not weak to move to a nice climate. It's smart

Bruce is obviously of the East LA ilk, he can't afford to LOOK at
Incline Village, in CA the snow belts are the most desireable areas.
Same in NY, given a choice peeps would much prefer the northern
Catskills over NYC. Most of NYC is crime infested slums, on par with
E. LA and Shytown's slums. Obviously Bruce prefers to live in
Drive-By territory.... what an unimformed putz.

I'd avoid any city. And I've seen enough snow for the rest of my life.
I want blue skies and sun.

"I want". Well, not everybody wants what you want.

Yesterday morning I went outside and it was a crisp 45 F. I was
sorely tempted to build a fire and make--and eat--breakfast outside.

Of course. Sheldon says he wants snow belts. I want blue skies. You
want cold and grey skies. To each their own.

That's 7 degrees in international UOM. It does get that cold and
colder here, but only in winter at night. People tend to stay inside
then

My son lived and worked in Uganda for almost a year. He loved the
climate. He said that a cool day was 82 F and a hot day was 84. The
only problem was the rainy season because then it was hot and wet, and
the dirt roads turned to mud.

That's a good temperature. Not crazy hot.

One adapts! when I lived in Perth, WA, I would put on a sweater when the
temperature dropped below about 28C.

True. In Tasmania it was often 5 degrees (41F) in the living room when
we got up. I now find it getting chilly under 24 degrees (75F).

Yep, no more snow for me. This morning I checked the lot where my house
is going to be built. We should be in it in October.

This morning I got out of bed and looked out the window at my lawn that
has suddenly turned green and.... what???? snow???? It didn't amount to
anything but still..... snow on April 29th?

Thanks. We just got here (Florida) this morning. We will be picking
out cabinets, tile, counter top, etc. Next trip should be the last one.
It is amazing how it has worked for my wife, one big reason for the
move. She feels better, looks better, walks more. No more stairs too.

I've just been looking at houses with the aim of downsizing. Aren't you
a bit optimistic about an October possession if they have yet to start?

The house next door is supposed to be September and the lot is in the
same condition. They have put in water, sewer, gas lines. I guess they
will fine tune the date as things progress. We'll see.

Starting to get rid of "stuff" we've accumulated after 37 years in our
present house.

I've seen snow in May, Dave. Not often, but really...
