Taylor State Park. The Patriarch tree is HUGE but fire has hollowed it's base. Holy, in the true sense of the word, and I don't even believe in a traditional god.<br /><br />So, it's a long walk getting there and I don't get there often, but next time, in your honor, dear Mike, I'm going to take my little instrument--a recorder I found years ago at Roy's Redwoods--along with me next time and perform a little concert just for the birds and squirrels. I only know one actual song--"In the Still of the Night", and it's only the first 14 notes, but I always get a big kick out of it. Maybe I'll start working on a special tune, just for the Patriarch Redwood, and the ring of her children that surround her, sprouted from her roots. Amen.AphotoAdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08581940419934089601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-23550378768148160392012-01-17T20:50:44.478-08:002012-01-17T20:50:44.478-08:00Good decisions.

If you do rent that bus I hope you'll save a space on it for a poor reprobate like myself.John Marcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17616296400880495672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-18280719477472244352012-01-17T20:43:26.748-08:002012-01-17T20:43:26.748-08:00Dear John Marcher: I edited the sentence out this ...Dear John Marcher: I edited the sentence out this morning because it was poorly written. As for Mr. Weill's similarities to Bernard Madoff, they should be obvious to anyone who's paying attention.<br /><br />I also thought of writing a comparison between Luther Burbank and Weill, one known for serious accomplishments that benefit the world and the other an amasser of capital who likes to have his name slapped on edifices, but decided that should be obvious too.Civic Centerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362422142667230626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-11872248716396205332012-01-17T20:35:16.136-08:002012-01-17T20:35:16.136-08:00That is really a gorgeous hall.
