The bluish tint of the stump and new growth may not be clearly visible, neither the cold ink shimmer.. this business of seeing things really has to be done in person.. and what we might say on KLANGORSKRAWLER is that we don't consider our little "empire," here to be much different than the Roman one, beyond the scale of the thing, but feel some sense of an "announcement," is in order today, (12 December 2023), of our decision to "stay put," here in Lockport, New York, (U.S.A.), and more or less grow where we are planted as is allowed by this environment and atmosphere; we believe strongly that the "group," is "vice-versa," influenced by the stable individual.. our attention is therefore focused primarily on that stability as it relates to the stability of the group in which it finds itself..
The whole "sphere of influence," thing is a fairly new thing, and we are focused on our capacity to be a friend above our securing a host of "friends," around here; we figure we will attract like.
