Whatever happened to the month of May? Springtime? Can remember turning on the A/C in mid, late May (of course I lived in Atlanta at the time) 38 degrees this morning in the Buckeye State....freeze warning for tonight I hear.

Always thought global warming was a hoax...and climate change the same. Just a new name since the old one you could shoot holes in pretty easy. But I do wonder about the seasons some. Seems as a kid it would warm up nicely in April and be nice and warm in May. Now sometimes it takes till June to warm up. Same in the Fall. Can remember October being cool/cold...occasional snow on Halloween. Now, it's warm in October, even into November (some years not all). Like everything's shifting about a month. Could be my imagination and faulty memories from childhood. Who knows.

Hopefully can mow some of the jungle later today...if/when it warms up.
Y'all have a good day.

No one really knows this except maybe for @*CatinIL* but the world is moving slower, it is getting older by the day. ;)
 
Goooooooood morning, Venezuela!

Dam spell check is now using permanent marker so I can't delete it... oh well. It's a little brisk in the foggy bottom this morning. Will have to wait til after noon to mow (which means I won't be able to do so til 6pm or later) cause the sun needs to bake the moisture off a bit.

Friend of a close friend, but an acquaintance of mine really, had a miscarriage after her shots, so I'm trying to think of something appropriate to send to the family from our family to lift their spirits. Any thoughts? Should we refrain?

Never know what to say or do in social situations like these. My parents never passed on such information
Everyone is different. My wife lost a pregnancy and she just didn't want anyone to bring it up and remind her of it. We were lucky. Very quickly she got pregnant again, all went perfectly and our son is 21 now...

Ditto for us.

We lost the middle pregnancy. It was early enough not to bother either of us much. Not all pregnancies will lead to birth. I always looked at it fatalistically as it was simply not mean to be.

Soon the mantra will be that the greenhouse gasses are blocking out the sun and we will be in an Ice Age in 15 years..........the billions people have invested in solar power will be lost.........without the heat convection of the sun.......the wind turbines will quit turning.......OH, the pity.......

The seriously hidden secret now is disposing of the out of date windmills. The turbine fans are a serious concern as to how to dispose of them. (Fiberglass) The thinking is the net-carbon savings is already lost BUT they are hiding this aspect of ground and poisoning of the earth due to these is way worse than carbon emissions. Watch for this to finally get out at some point where it is more widely distributed/ known.

What wise and thoughtful advice. The people who know you in person must dearly love you.
If they want advice rather than 2 lips pressed against a cheek, yes they will. I asked for the advice and accept it as advice based on experience. I wouldn't have asked for advice here if I wasn't able to hear all of it.

Wouldn't have asked at all except this couple had been trying for so long. Just feel rotten for them.
 
Sitting here watching a movie I looked down on the floor at the young and the old. Have a little contrast in dogs now. Pictured below is my two Pyrenees mixes. The larger one is going on 11 years old and a little over 100lbs. The younger one is 6 months old tomorrow and is right at 50lbs. I think she is going to be a monster.

Jaden Hardy is still out there but he's likely to opt for the G-League or go overseas. A year ago he was almost a lock for wearing UK blue. We'll know within the next few weeks.

Should know next Saturday. He posted that he was announcing on the 8th. Probably a pipe dream, but TyTy is announcing on the same day, and there have been rumors of a package deal. Coincidence? Maybe, but it would be a huge coup for Cal if he could pull it off. Right now, I'll settle for TyTy.
 
He is mad as hell and is not going to take it anymore

There are no better tasting catfish than those caught from clean deep water lakes . In Kentucky Mike Linnig's is fine for catfish, frog legs, puppies and other goodies.

A botany question for @_Rooster. I went RVing with my daughter and son in law this weekend in our RV yard we had a large hickory tree, but I don't know what hickory.

From these pictures Rooster can you tell?

Thanks in advance.

Walleye is the best fish I ever ate. None better, salt or fresh water, in my book.

Edit: Another real good fish is Pike. Just good eating.
Agreed
I have never eaten walleye. Here's a strange one. I've never eaten crappie. Mostly bass. Some catfish. I never thought bluegill were worth the cleaning effort.
Tasty stuff

For me walleye and crappie are 2 of the best tasting fish there is.

It'll shift back and forth. I notice it more now than when I was younger, but it did it sometimes back then. Maybe it's weather modification... No idea what they use that for besides cloud seeding, but could be the application of something like that causing extremes. Could be solar minimums/maximums also.

The North America climate is a huge source of confusion. The North America climate has been getting warmer since the last ice age. At least some 10,000 years. The tree ring data shows cyclic wetter (cooler) dryer warmer periods, particularly where the 20th century is concerned. Things in Arizona appear normal . . . dry. What is going on? This is the Hadley effect in full view. Solar energy drives the climate. Because of the axis tilt it is a zone that wobbles with the earth's rotation like any top/gyroscope. That causes the Hadley to wobble north and south. That wobble is causes movement in the Hadley shifting the tropics north and south and can be observed in the biogeography. We have the history. The Rodent mammals stored things then buried them giving us the climate data. The constant stated of drought preserved vast histories of real geologic level climate change. 10,000 years ago these deserts were ponderosa pine forests. Kentucky 10,000 years ago an icy warming climate. Ice ages are real but on a larger scale than folks think. Our society can't think past the middle of next week. Back to the Hadley wobble. The tree rings shows this wobble. The trees evolved in biological fire climax successional communities and now still exist adapted to limited sky island habitat. More water, wider rings. Rings show evidence of solar fluctuation on Hadleys wobble moving the tropical zone north and south. Thought I'd share.

I didn't want to get into the wobble or displacement/movement of the poles. Trees and pavement have a lot to do with local climates too. They did some studies on trees and how they affect climates in the middle east/Mediterranean. Pretty cool how much tree planting can do for an environment over time.

Really a shame what happened to Libya after the clinton/obama induced "spring" when they were finally reclaiming the desert and starting to farm. No good deed/economy goes unpunished as long as there's money to be made off of instability

Don't get me wrong, much man-love for brother Rooster but that chicken may need more hens...

You wouldn't think it but,................ That's an official government policy...

No thanks, even with Elk power I was blessed enough to know one is enough. She didn't believe me when I told her a decision is a decision after having to chase the girl friends away from an eligible bachelor. I watched the whole thing. Then 10 years later she told me she had thought about from the beginning and she wasn't going to divorce mean ole me. I swear I hadn't and never did change.

Any joy in music now? Just curious...

Sat in that car at the Cash Museum in Bon Aqua Tn. Strange lookin car for sure but darn that front seat you could have slept on it, it was that comfortable.
 
Grabbed takeout from Bill Miller. Wife likes Poor Boy. I got BBQ Chicken sammich.

Drinking a beer. Life is good.

The BBQ sandwich??? Yeah that is the one I like. Bill Miller does it. My Darling likes that mashed mess they serve (The peppers/onions and tomato sauce (They dice it up) they serve on their bar.) I could eat that dark bread and that butter as a meal. Yeah, dreaming and I already ate supper!

I have only the one Yuengling, I am nursing that now. I am off tomorrow, my Darling is getting her second vaccine. I will hit Walmart to pick up a 24 pack. May also go to Maryland (Have to see how my Darling feels first) to seek-out some crabbing spots.)

In 1986......the Mike Linnigs renovation and addition was one of my first projects as a general superintendent for Frank. J. Schaefer Construction Co.......I had known the Linnig family as we skated with them at Fountaine Ferry skating rink......the rink had a roller skating club and we traveled to other rinks for competitions......I was at the park the day of the race riots that initially closed the amusement park down........the beginning of the end for that place....

I went there once. Good food. Probably about 1990 to 92 range. Down Valley Station way...

Mike Linnig's bought their cod fish from Moby Dick's seafood........I went down a couple of years ago....it was different fish and onion rings.......way back they had the best fried chicken plate and a seafood platter......when they locked up one of Len Linnig's sons for selling reefer on the premises......his dad banned him from the place and Len was never the same and died a few years later.....the younger son sold his portion of the business to Juanita Linnig's children who are the sole owners.....three of them the best that I can remember.......
