Welcome to the New Day Cafe! This is an open thread.
This morning I refer you to an Atlas Obscura piece on how trees are serving as historical resources.
“Increasingly, American researchers are turning to trees, and reading them to fill in the gaps. A new study, published in the Journal of Biogeography, looks at the tree rings of West Virginia’s historic log cabins and other wooden structures to better understand the period in which they were built. It’s just the latest example of what the science of dendrochronology can tell us.”
Not only do the trees themselves serve as records, but they also serve as secondary records in built structures.
Grab a cup of coffee,
a treat,
and share what’s on your mind this morning.
All are welcome to join the fun, the silliness, the conversations. If you don’t know...just ask! Some things really do require a bit of explanation.
There will be a few surprises along the way, all good ones, we hope.
We are here to keep building the Daily Kos Community.
We post Mon-Sun at 10:30 a.m. Eastern.
Pie fights will be met with outrageous ridicule and insults. Trolls will be incinerated and served at the next group BBQ. As briquettes.
