Guess I'll start an off-topic thread?

Jeez usually the Sasquatch stuff makes me smile. Feeling pretty bad for our west coast members. Hope all is as well as it can be.

Went old school with Hemispheres yesterday, always thought the lyrics to “The Trees” was a definitely a social metaphor!

Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson
Lyrics: Neil Peart

There is unrest in the Forest
There is trouble with the trees
For the Maples want more sunlight
And the Oaks ignore their pleas.

The trouble with the Maples
(And they’re quite convinced they’re right)
They say the Oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light
But the Oaks can’t help their feelings
If they like the way they’re made
And they wonder why the Maples
Can’t be happy in their shade?

There is trouble in the Forest
And the creatures all have fled
As the Maples scream ‘Oppression!’
And the Oaks, just shake their heads

So the Maples formed a Union
And demanded equal rights
‘The Oaks are just too greedy
We will make them give us light’
Now there’s no more Oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet,
Axe,
And saw…

No doubt it’s a metaphor and what an awesome song. The local FM station played REO “Golden Country” yesterday. Other end of the spectrum. Still a spectacular song, so much soaring energy. Had not heard it in years, cranked it up and sang along. DD played a lot of softball when she was young in the home town of Gary Richrath.

Edited to add: Neil is so chill. “Don’t mind me while I just hang out over here and be the greatest of all time”

Im with ya there...and for the people that are caught starting fires to protest climate change...they should be...well, cant say that here

Go ahead, say it! Truth is a B****! Poor forest management by our lovely politicians are another huge contributing factor! Pissing Federal money away!

Hey now! Don't get our only Off-Topic thread on DFP shut down by saying it like it is and offending some folks

Lets just say, I am VERY law and order and I would be all for quickly dispensing of some of these "issues" we have running around
right now these days.

I was brought up being told where the bear sh!t in the woods...no candy coating stuff like today and didn't worry about feelings
or catering to criminals.

And one more thing...USPS IS EXPERIENCING DELAYS!!! I cant give you a refund or send a new bat if your bat is taking 2-3 weeks or more because you don't like the time frame...neither do I...haha. This is more of a PITA to me than you...believe me. Some shipments just seem
to stall in some usps depot and take forever. Not one bat has been lost yet...but many have been very late.

Seems like 20% of shipments right now experience delays. Getting better than a month or 2 ago, but still there

Yes sir!! Like the feral human (?) being in the video describing the two deputies shot in Compton the other day!! I’m still not sure what I was listening to?

Yupper, absolutely...quickly and swiftly. But yet scum in this world would put "its" name on a helmet and kneel for "it" and set a building on fire because "it" was quickly taken care of.

Careful fellas...maybe you need to chill out...I have some tomatoes in my back yard if your interested? ;-)
