Sorry, I have Prokofiev's "Troika" on my mind. Also Woody Allen's "Love and death." And maybe Hansel and Gretel, except that they wouldn't be in the forest this time of year smiley - doh.

And I've belabored the issue of evergreen trees in the past week, so maybe people might be averse to my revisiting that.

I was in Saint Petersburg in 2013. I remember vast stands of birches along the road. These evergreens might part of the famous Taiga or Boreal Forest." I'll be quite for now. smiley - smiley

Those were the days, my friend,
In Hooverville no end
Of ways to raise great havoc all the day.

We'd live the life we choose,
Which means we'd always lose
Our sense of what great path should be our way.
