And another thing. Photo Synthesis — If mums and other screaming flowers, eat light, then why doesn’t it get darker and darker as more and more flowers eat more and more light?

Maybe its a good thing to run over mums. More light for the rest of us.

Science tells us that as flowers consume the light the sun gets dimmer and dimmer until there is nothing but darkness. The technical term for this is “night” which is short for “no light”. Having consumed all of the sun’s light the flowers enter a state of dormancy in which their voracious appetite for light is temporarily abated. This allows the sun to recharge unmolested. As the sun grows brighter a phenomenon known as ‘day’ occurs and the cycle repeats itself as it has since the beginning of time 6000 years ago.

BS. Flowers don’t grow on the sun.

I think part of my problem is the stovepipe exits the house on the ground floor, and runs up the side above the 2nd floor roofline. That’s a lot of exterior pipe to get nice and cold.

Here are my elms.

Most likely that is most of the problem. Maintaining heat in the stove pipe is essential.

Your elms look beautiful. I’ve seen gorgeous American Chestnut trees out west too. Isolation can be good.

No. 8-8 does not get sprinkles.

No and 8-8 doesn’t get a new contract for Snisher. Only 7-9 gets contracts or extensions. StanK wants money but winning a lot eventually costs StanK money. Remember the StanK credo-

Excellence is bad. Mediocrity is great.

Zooey, I’d be real careful burning pine or cedar in your fireplace or stove for anything other than kindling. The creosote will build up in your chimney and in extreme cases can catch fire and burn your roof off.

American Elm? Didn’t they all get wiped out by Dutch Elm Disease, or was that just an East Coast thing (and if you’re burning American Chestnut, I don’t want to hear about it…)?

Pine and cedar are fine to burn once the stove pipe is hot and a good fire is in the stove. The problem is when the fire goes out and the hot coals begin to cool the hot gases are not hot enough to exit the stove pipe carrying the creosote compound and soot and both collect towards the upper half of the stove pipe. The effect is much worse in those set ups where the stove pipe just extends above the flue in a chimney. Burning those woods in a good fire is no problem but choking the stove down over night with those woods can lead to a faster buildup compared to most other hardwoods.

American elms are still around though do better outside their natural range (with less exposure to DED) so a CA tree of size is possible. Two varieties are now doing well with DED resistance, the Valley Forge and New Harmony. I remember the amazingly tall and pure shade thrown by the elm lined streets throughout St. Louis and so many other towns in the midwest. They are missed. Good info at http://www.elmpost.org.

Clean splitting elm by hand is epic, as in impossible. Always fun to stick in a piece when a noob is swinging a maul.

Cheap doesn’t matter because the Rams, like ever other team, pays to the cap.

So the roster is going to cost the same no matter who is on it.

But still, the Rams at several positions are one of the deepest teams in the league.

So whether young or not, they know how to find them.

.

For many years…..Have they found WRs? NO! Have they found QBs? NO! Have they found a LT? NO! Have they found a C? NO! I can go on but you get the drift.

Cap limit is misleading. Spending to it doesn’t matter as much as how it is allocated. If you are consistently the youngest team that is reflected in the payroll. Paying a few guys a lot of $$$ while the rest of the team is inexperienced compared to the rest of the league is a great recipe for sub .500 performance which is what the Rams have perfected over the last 11 years.

Right. It’s nothing serious like, say, a pickle jar. THAT reflects character.

Well the game has been on for a half hour so I hope I am wrong but when I wrote that it was because Goff hasn’t looked at all ready this preseason.
