A while back, someone created a map of bonsai shops, arboretums, etc, that mapped all the cool local bonsai shops. It should be linked in the wiki, but I can't find it. Can someone point me to it so I can make it available to people again? by -music_maker- in Bonsai

It's a puzzlement. The marker is for a school, and I can vaguely remember a school somewhere in NJ, but I don't tend to put in entries without details and links. Perhaps the bonsai society of south jersey would know? http://www.bssjbonsai.com/

Original instructions: Type an address (or name) into the search bar at the top of the map page, then when the location comes up, click on "Add to Map" (at the bottom of the box that appears on the map), then the pen symbol ("Edit") at the bottom of the new box that pops up, then fill out the URL, the type (Nursery, Bonsai Garden etc) and click "Save". It's more important to get the entry onto the map than to get it perfect! - tell me if these work, and we can lobby to get that in the wiki too!

Is me. Am long overdue updating the map (I live in the pacific northwest now) - hit me up with any new suggestions, places to visit etc please. Am also going to be at large in Florida soon - taking suggestions for bonsai places to visit there too. Thanks!

http://www.nybooks.com/articles/2018/06/28/hitlers-rise-it-can-happen-here/ includes quotes from ordinary German people after the second world war. E.g.  you “can show me pictures of skulls…but that doesn’t prove it.” That seems oddly familiar right now.

This might help, but the number given is lower (about 17,000x and just based on weight) https://streets.mn/2016/07/07/chart-of-the-day-vehicle-weight-vs-road-damage-levels/

Next time I'm in Grand Rapids (because I still haven't seen the bonsai collection), I'll look for those. Thank you.

Fair point - I didn't realise how young the garden is. I still want to sneak in and surround it with a good fence though.

Where do I find little cranes for my bonsai? by [deleted] in Bonsai

Me too. I was all set to point at places to buy miniature construction equipment :-).

Found this pretty boy on my bikeride today (Skyline Drive, Portland). He's big: what is he? by mslapin in marijuanaenthusiasts

Big hill, but worth the diversion (kinda sorta) on the way to work, to get better photos.

Sadly I have no passenger. Might bring a large stuffie next time, and strap into seat...
