World Book and Copyright Day Good morning my friends I can't believe it - another fair day with blue skies and sunshine. What's happened to those April showers? There's a story that I wrote approximately two years agp abput some oak trees in Alabama that were part of an Auburn University ritual following a victory - festooning them with toilet paper. Unfortunately, 2 years ago after a victory over arch rival Alabama, a disgruntled Alabama fan deliberately poisoned the oak trees. Ever since then Auburn has been trying to save them. They failed and today they are being cut down. Part of the tragedy is that these trees were over 130 years old and that is irreplaceable.

Snow??? In May? Nooooooooooo!! Welcome trevorw & bogdan to this thread I originally started on the MSN boards. I hope you return often. I just finished watching my favorite Sunday morning show CBS News Sunday Morning. It had two great segments - one about Tom Hanks on the Broadway stage, no less (he has been nominated for a Tony for best actor) and a retrospective of Sidney Poitier. Both were excellent. Another part covered the fact that 1 in 5 US women are electing not to have children, down from 1 in 10 of 20 years ago. We are no longer reproducing our current population, despite immigration. In fact, if it weren't for immigrataion, we would be in serious trouble right now. It's lilac festival time again with the over 500 varieties in Highland Park in Rochester in full bloom. It runs until May 19th. If any of you are in the area for the next week, try and get to see that park and enjoy the various displays, food, music, etc. It's a really great festival.

American Craft Beer Week Good morning my friends It sunshine and blue skies but temp in the 30s. This is more early April weather rather than May. Last year it was warmer than usually,and this year cooler. I wish we could just get back to what is "normal". I just ran across this picture and couldn't help grinning:
In Belize a 2,300-year-old Mayan pyramid has been bulldozed with backhoes and bulldozers to extract rock for a road-building project, leaving only a small portion of the center of the pyramid left standing. Supposedly, the Nohmul complex was under government protection although it sat on private land. It's hard to beleive that in this day and age something like this would still happen. The perpetrator of this outrage should be severely punished, both the owner of the property and the business that did the actual destruction.
Thought for Today: "Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking." --Albert Einstein (1921. 1879) German born Nobel Prize-winning theoretical physicist
