What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?

This post probably won't matter to anyone but me but I'm kind of happy. Posting about 'Grand Prix' the other day and then 'How the West was Won' made me think about the old Palace Theater in Playhouse Square in Cleveland. It was a majestic (I can't think of a better word) theater in the downtown area. It was where I saw both of those movies and the Cream/Canned Heat concert. It is still there and has been renovated. I'm glad, you don't see many places like that anymore. Here is a shot of most ot the seating.

I bet the acoustics in that theater were fantastic, especially for the concert!
 
@code4 First day it finally bloomed. Last bloom of the season I think is the Seven-Son flower. That blooms around Thanksgiving and the first of the year is a Witch Hazel that blooms first week of February. This was a Durban Cana.

I love that its leaves are the red ones. I only planted ones with green foliage this year. What zone are you in?

I love architecture. And these are great examples. Thanks for sharing
 
You don’t know what gator taste like Kevin . You’ve only had what the tourist eat ?
You are being very truculent today CB!
 
Hit PetCo. Shockers , the good manager was still there. Fish were still pretty scarce. But I got I nice juvenile Clarkii pair and striped fang blennie . Also picked up a good sized Goni for a song and a small Duncan frag to replace the one that died a few months ago. This is the Goni . 50 bucks only.

First I just want to say that the baby is fine! I was sent to the ER though.

They were, and not a bad seat in the house.
