Some time ago I was in Kansas City, MO, and I posted about …
Sometime after a frequent participant here posted the comment:
Somebody needs to determine the identity of the tree in the middle of . . . the VORTEX. Especially its Linnaean name. Surely that would be significant?
Mysteriously, on Google Earth, even though the photo is copyright 2010, the tree is a mere seedling. Look here:
View Larger MapIt’s leafed out, so the photo must have been taken in the late spring at the earliest . . . but it’s 1/3 or 1/4 of the size it is in Fr. Z’s photo. And the funnel-like shape is very mysterious . . . . . [one might even say “portentous”!]

After deep consultation and many … many… mugs of Mystic Monk Coffee… we think we have assembled the necessary remotely … I repeat remotely control probe, powered with heavy fuel.
DATA REPORTS TO COME!
Loading ...
I have GOT to get me some of that coffee.
Seriously now? Father… Take a step back from the brew… I think we should analyze it for opiates… Maybe have the Agency do some field tests…
There’s a stop sign glued to the back of that “do not enter” sign. It’s obviously some kind of barrier.
Yes, I’d use a remotely controlled probe. I don’t want your last words to be “It’s full of stars” or something. ;^)
:-D
That does it, I’m ordering my Mystic Monk Coffee immediately.
My friend at the Cobb County Extension Office is standing by (with HazMat suit at the ready).
AnAmericanMother: IF… IF… we get back any data, I will share it.
But Father…But Father…..I’m kinda getting the idea here that you think it’s a good idea to buy Mystic Monk Koffee?…or am I misteaken?!?!!? [Only if you like good coffee and helping monks.]
Father, I was thinking of ordering some of the fine brew you’ve been bantering about, but after reading this most recent post, a concern has arisen. I am subject to random drug tests at my job, plus we deal with HazMat on a regular basis. I’m wondering if there would be any kind of interference or cross-contamination possibilities? I would hate to be blissfully traveling through Virginia, only to find that after a mug of M.M.C., I’ve traveled through some worm-hole via a parallel universe directly into the abyss (aka: {cue dramatic music} T H E V O R T E X!)
Father, could it be … a TARDIS?
GrogSmash: For someone with the word “grog” in your writing name…
In any event, Mystic Monk Coffee may be the only shield against the Vortex.
Think about it!
Father- good call by you! Placing my order a.s.a.p.! Thanks for the advice!
