Another apology.
I've amended it, but for most of the day, yesterday, a typographical error on my avatar said "Be like the blackjack leaf, keep holing on." It ought to have said, as it does now, "...keep holding on."
I'm sorry if this was offensive. It was, indeed, accidental.

I thought it was a reference to card-playing. Blackjack, you know. A hole-in-one. Had a nice time trying to figure that out. And how fall leaves fit in. Ah! The holes! No . . . oh, hmm . . .

I saw an oak tree in an apartment complex that I lived in a couple
years ago, which kept its leaves all winter (they turned brown, but
didn't fall off). I started to think maybe all oaks did this, and was
going to observe this fall to see if that hypothesis holds out. Is it
just the Blackjack Oak that does this?

- Tell us something.: I used to be a regular then I took up the bassoon. Bassoons don't have a lot of chiff. Not really, I have always been a drummer, and my C&F years were when I was a little tired of the drums. Now I'm back playing drums. I mist the C&F years, though.

Pin oaks around here keep a lot of their leaves most of the winter.

Which pine tree loses their needles every year?

Isn't that another way of saying "I'm too lazy to check this post to see if it might upset anyone"?OnTheMoor wrote:"I apologize in advance for any insult I have made in this post, real or imaginary".
Oops, that was a bit harsh. I could do with an apology emoticon.
