    Music for the day

    That was interesting. Knew the song, but I never tied it with him. He is, I think, the same one who did "Ruby, don't take your love to town"? A good song. Is Chuck Barris the guy with the gong? That was hilarious.

    Music for the day

    It was 9th or 10th grade in Presidential Lakes. I used to skip school with Ricky. He only had his mom, and she tried her best to support Ricky. But mostly they had eggs, and we'd scramble them up and listen to the AM radio (WFIL, WIBG, I think). This song was right up there. When I saw it...

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    That must be it. All I saw was a colored map with a circle in purple.

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    I saw a report that somewhere around here got 7.3 inches. I could be off a bit.

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    These weather sites are way out of hand. This flood map, just pulled it up, trying to scare me where I live? Yet, look at their forecast below the map.

    Music for the day

    I was trying to be funny, tongue in cheek old sport.

    Music for the day

    That was awful. I can see why God took him early. :D On the other hand, I did enjoy this one by Alan.

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    Weather 'announcements' have become similar to clickbait. They use it to keep you watching and interested. It's why ABC nightly news starts off every broadcast with "we are monitoring deadly weather at (insert a bundle of states)". They oversell it.

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    I thought you were much further south Boyd. I was thinking west of Woodbine. Here is where a giant dropped napkins on the hidden creek golf club.

    Sleigh Bell In July

    Guy, I like the bell, but it's more fascinating to me to wonder if there was ever even a crossing there. Or were they on the ice.

    Music for the day

    I swear I have Al Green's greatest hits on tape in a box in some closet. I used to have a 91 blue camry, and it was a mainstay for me in that car.

    No-see-ums

    From the link: "Larvae need moisture to develop, but also air and food. They are not strictly aquatic or terrestrial." But of course, since I've never seen 'em, that is just my guess. I'll have to investigate. Maybe they're those small asian tiger mosquitoes.

    No-see-ums

    No Scott, in fact my elevation here is 110 feet. But, there is a quick drop to a creek that runs into the pine plains. But it does have phragmites etc.

    No-see-ums

    I simply cannot walk on a lawn at all if I'm in shorts. These (I suppose I'm correct, cause I never see um) little pricks prick me all over. Anyone else get them? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceratopogonidae

    I think a cat, likely feral.

    Timing for flowers

    These are notoriously hard to photograph. These are thread-leaf sundew flowers. I did a little editing to this one.

    Timing for flowers

    In my pines rambling, I have a calender in my mind that tells me when plants are in bloom. Sometimes I'm right, sometimes I'm wrong. But either way, I like seeing them every new year. This is from the Oswego River area. The white orchid was really beefy, maybe 6" tall. In the lower left is...

    Introducing the Landscape of the United States series

    Boyd, can your list have folders? While the landscapes maps are important to have, it might be good to have it all in one folder, as it likely won't be used as much.

    Introducing the Landscape of the United States series

    Here's something odd. If you start at about 2018 in landscape on Warren Grove Bombing Range, and then cycle up year by year to 2024, it looks like they clear land, then let it grow in. Or maybe it's just where they burn, and then a couple years later it's green again. ?
