If you can think of something to talk about that is not related to knives, discuss it here.

Well, I just don't know what to say about that. I wonder if she's a Trump supporter? ::hmm::

Found this on Real Clear Politics today.

Interesting little movie.

Don't really know how to feel about it.

Got to admire the men that can do that, why they did it and what was probably done with it, but man, I wish they had not cut down all those trees.

I remember in the mid-fifties when one of our neighbors built a privacy fence with California Redwood.

Thanks for posting this Charlie. It's pretty awesome.

There are still some stands of Coastal Redwoods growing in the mountain range between Stanford University and the Pacific Coast. I've heard there more in the costal range north of the Golden Gate Bridge. I had pictures but they were in the bin of pictures that were destroyed by the 2006 flood.

This is the video Charlie linked to.

From the Internet and for those who haven't seen them, yes, they are that big. Picture doesn't really mean a lot until you've seen them up close and personal.

I had no idea there this many stands remaining. Click twice to get the full image.

I see three. One in the snow at the base, another with a yellow coat about a quarter of the way up and one almost at the top with an orange coat on. Are there any I missed?

These behemoths are humbling to stand next to.

Jerry, in the original post, there were multiple photos showing several men up in the tree.

I only posted the one shot of the whole tree and I, too, can only find three.

I think there are some men that are obscured by tree branches in that shot.

There was one close up photo of the man in yellow/black beside the trunk and there were at least two others at that same height out in the periphery. I think they're there in the far away shot, we just cannot see them.

Did you notice the lightening rod extending beyond the top of the tree?

They have to be YouTube videos. Over in the How To Forum, you'll find a Tutorial on how to do that, here: ---> http://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/kni ... 98&t=48256

Wondering how long it took to develop those muscles.

Charlie, I asked my wife to watch that video and that was the 1st thing she said, "Look at those muscles!" It was almost mesmerizing trying to keep up with what that gal was doing with those balls. I can hardly walk and chew gum but she's able to maintain the level from any position ::shrug:: .
Worth watching!

Actually, my reference to muscle development was to what she's able to do with her toes.

Can any of you twirl your little toe around like that?

But, yes, she is very well developed.

Amazing.

Here is a family of Bluegrass/Gospel music instrumentalists that have a very intriguing talent. They are able to share the playing of instruments.

If I think about whether I could do this with another musician, the answer is "No".

They appear to be a family that might have a genetic separation between their left and right brains and their cerebral hemispheres are able to act independently of one another.

Except for the kid playing bass. He's the only one with a normal brain.

The connections between our right and left brains is what makes it difficult for us to pat our head and rub our belly at the same time.
