Hello People, and welcome to another foggy globally warm Sunnyside day.

And now, the News:

For the Oak Tree Freaks in the audience, how about a free copy of Field Guide to the Native Oak Species of Eastern North America? Send an email to Lisa Cress of the U.S. Forest Service at lcress@fs.fed.us She will send you the book. Don't say the Feds never gave you anything.

We received our copy yesterday and we are very very pleased with it. It helped us to make that tricky identification of one of our local Sunnyside trees: Pin Oak or Scarlet Oak? It's a Pin Oak. How could we tell? The leaves can be pretty similar. So, it's all in the fruit. The Pin Oak has a shallower acorn cup than the Scarlet Oak. It's disky like a UFO. The Scarlet Oak's acorn hat is deeper, like a tea cup for a squirrel.

Other news: There is no other news today. We are wrapping our little Lisablog minds around marathon training and yellow belt promotions. Hang in there until tomorrow and we will be back with new improved meatier musclar news.

Peace people.
