@89th Showed your arborvitae arbor to hubby tonight. He immediately pointed on our backyard landscape plan and said, "We should have one like that right here." Of course, he is so brilliant that he pointed at the exact spot where I already decided it should be. Forty years will do that for ya!

I don't think so. He doesn't generally veil what he means in sarcasm.

I would love to have an older Ranchero or El Camino.

@cathys Thank you, Cathy! I recall from your past posts that you have also been married for many years. I hope you and yours are well and having fun!

We are the Borg. You will be assimilated. Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.

@Mik During our Minnesota winters when the snow is deep, I can look out the windows and see deer enjoying the use of the cleared sidewalks. They get tired of walking through the deep snow. They're so darn spoiled. They'll walk down the plowed sidewalks to a plowed driveway, then cross the street from there to the next plowed sidewalk. They finally go into a yard when they spot a favorite plant to eat. I love my new fences.

But a base that ate up a new conspiracy theory like skittles, this new vaccine was low hanging fruit.

That Bosie has Ivory keys and reading EU regs, it will not pass customs. Pre 1975 pianos generally are allowed as well as any established artist who owns one. But even without that being said, 1989 bosie vs 2000 shigeru with player, assuming no real work was done on bosie, that would be your first look? I emailed owner of the shigeru and asked him the pertinent question you brought up. Nice pickup on the possibility it sat on a floor for years running the player. I also asked if i could have an rpt come check it out. The bosie now, that’s only in LA and not Louisville so there is that to consider as well. Well actually not because of the dammed ivory Thanks LD.

Interesting bits that didn't know before: Basically, when plants are growing, photosynthesis is happening in their cells. And that photosynthesis gives off a very specific wavelength of light. The OCO instruments in space measure that light all over the planet. "NASA and others have turned this happy accident into an incredibly valuable set of maps of plant photosynthesis around the world," explains Scott Denning, a longtime climate scientist at Colorado State University who worked on the OCO missions and is now retired. "Lo and behold, we also get these lovely, high resolution maps of plant growth," he says. "And that's useful to farmers, useful to rangeland and grazing and drought monitoring and forest mapping and all kinds of things, in addition to the CO2 measurements."

Interesting article.

Further proof that Trump really no clue as to what’s been going on: During the press conference, Trump added that he was "a little bothered" by Zelensky's words regarding "constitutional approval" for land swaps as part of a potential peace agreement. "He's got approval to go into war and kill everybody, but he needs approval to do a land swap? There'll be some land swapping going on," Trump said. Does not get it….not at all.

https://www.flyingmag.com/victory-verticals-a-forgotten-and-restored-piece-of-world-war-ii-history/ You may be familiar with the concept of pianos used as weapons—it happened frequently in cartoons—but did you know that Steinway & Sons, the makers of pianos since 1853, had a military contract to build pianos during World War II? And that these pianos, packed tightly in specially designed crates, were often parachuted into war zones?
