\nItem #1: Baby Pine cones <\/span> <\/p>\n

Above: Small 1 year old cones surround the new vegetative growth in the center \u2013 this young growth is called a candle<\/em> and will become stem and needles.
\nPonderosa pines have a difficult environment. \"\"Precipitation comes as rain and snow in the low-sun season, with dry summers.
\nRight: the cones look hard and woody but inside they are green; same with the “candle”, but my camera and the sun conspired to get that washed out.
\nAs a fire prevention measure “firewise” folks suggest keeping the area under trees vegetatively sparse, and to cut branches off up to 20 feet above the ground. The bark is thick and resists burning and withstands low-intensity surface fires.
\nYes, I’ve been trimming pines and cleaning up the limbs.<\/p>\n

Item #2: Plastic antlers <\/span><\/p>\n

A Pennsylvania bakery created a wedding cake resembling a life-size deer.

\nI have a birthday in 84 days. Hint.<\/p>\n

Item #3: <\/p>\n

One ship:
\n <\/span> \"\"Recall the old saying about a picture being worth a thousand words.
\nThis is helpful because it allows us to derive the unit of human beauty.
\nIt is written of oh so beautiful Helen of Troy that she had “a face that launched a thousand ships”.
\nFrom which we get the “Millihelen”.
\nBeauty sufficient to launch one ship.<\/p>\n

I enjoy scientific puns, such as:
\nI think that angry flask completely over-reacted.
\nI like to hear chemistry puns, periodically.
\nMake like a proton and stay positive.<\/em>
\n. . . or . . .
\nThere are lots of chemistry puns, but many won’t get a good reaction.<\/p>\n

Item #4: Beer<\/span> <\/p>\n

This is from Salt Lake City.\"\". . . the semitrailer veered and fell from a street and into the church\u2019s car parking zone after it was hit by a pickup truck that ran a crimson gentle . . .<\/p>\n

\nSay what? Well, it is a good day when I learn something new.
\nDo you have “Gentle” technology where you live?

Item #5: What to wear?
\n <\/span> \"\"
\nWhen you leave the house in the morning, take appropriate footwear. <\/p>\n

From the weather center:
\nDenver goes from 83 to 19 degrees in just 18 hours <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
