Inflatable Humor
Take one new barracks, a lot of unnecessary inspections, a few inflatable sheep and what do you get? Something terribly amusing. September 28, 2007 @ 01:22 pm | Category: That's Funny!Thursday, September 27, 2007

Carvings For A Cause
So as some of you may recall, we had an early surprise October Snowstorm last year. The biggest lasting effect from this freak storm was the massive damage to thousands of trees around the area. Unfortunately many of these trees —some of the oldest in the area, have had to be cut down because the damage is so extensive that they cannot be saved. Many areas that were very heavily treed are new virtually treeless. So besides generating a lot of mulch from ground up limbs and branches, there were also a lot of very large tree trunks. Fortunately some of them have found a new life thanks to Carvings For A Cause, an effort to help support Re-TreeWNY. The basic idea is to raise money to plant some new trees to replace the old ones. So from the sad ruins of thousands of destroyed trees comes something wonderful. Currently a few of these are located at the Erie Basin Marina just outside my office. Thus here is, what these start out as…And then become Ben Franklin…
Or Teresa Bellissimo…
Or a Black Bear…
Or Frederick Law Olmsted…
Or a Bass Fish…
Or a Mystery Carving (My guess is Ralph C. Wilson Jr.)…
Or Ernestine Nardin…
You can view these and more of this growing collection of carvings by visiting Carvings For A Cause and their gallery. September 26, 2007 @ 12:46 pm | Category: PhotoBlog
