‘Stairway to Unknown Tree’ It’s January in Wyoming, a time of cold here in the continental interior, and mostly a season of dormancy for trees. But I visited the tree I’m following anyway.

Nothing is more important to the UK than the Gulf Stream.  Without it, they have 'latitude weather' and that's cold like heck.  My contention is that it is functionally dead, or a stuffed parrot. The GS [...]
