I must revise the forecast I posted in Reggae Schoolroom last Sunday. The forecast recently went: snow, reggae, predicted snow, no snow, more reggae and then more predicted snow later in the week.

Depends where you are. Central and Eastern LI are getting clobbered, 2 feet and counting. New England is also getting it good. NYC is going to wind up with a foot or so. Still coming down. NJ on the other hand got off relatively light, 6 inches or so.

hudson valley was supposed to get one to two feet, so far 3 or 4 inches, but snowing now. at least the wind and power outages didn't happen, to us anyway.

@Sem I think that Sequoia shot was originally taken by Eadweard Muybridge in the late Eighteenth Century.

coelacanth:

now that i've listened to the archive i take back my desire for this to become a regular thing! i like the music but it's hard to endure the schtick. in fact it's painful!
...anyway if "robert steadfast" is Irwin -or whoever it is; he probably has a show on fmu & is too busy for 2.
...then again if it was 1 hour/week i might listen to it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:35am
coelacanth:

...well i just got past the "introduction of Peter Tosh",where roger steffens is listed as robert steadfast. i had considered that during the 10 min. of the show i caught live (-the name similarity,book title similarity,& the fantasy world "they both" live in) -but didn't think roger steffens would make a mockery of the (easily mockable) more ridiculous side of reggae culture.
(...but an "accent" slips in here & there that makes me think it's not Irwin.)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:16am
coelacanth:

...okay i get it. it's a mockery of steffens; but i'm still very curious who it is!
