(Corrected request to include the sub link)

This sub hasn't had activity for 4 years, and the sub needs on-topic content added regularly to draw interest in it again and form a community. There are 3 moderators now, although 2 of them are more active elsewhere, and one moderator (HockeyHockeyMan) shows no activity in his user profile for 10 years.

I requested addition to the moderator list this past Friday morning, April 5, and have not received a response.

I would be a supportive moderator and contributor to this sub. I'm a top 1% commenter in the r/Avocado sub currently, and have started raising starfruit seedlings and a grafted tree. I am enthusiastic about learning more and sharing knowledge with others.

Should GM re-use their old Pontiac and Oldsmobile nameplates?

A Buick Toronado or Cutlass? A Chevy Grand Prix or Intrigue?

Is this blasphemy - or a good idea to keep these nameplates alive, and in the public awareness? Or should GM hoard them for decades more, for the possibility of re-launching an old brand?

Confession, I was an Intrigue owner... drove it 23 years before I traded it. Such a comfortable car for a tall driver, with good visibility all around.

April 9, Final Frost in central North Carolina

This wasn't a dramatic weather event, but it's the last time I chose to cover my in-ground Mexicola until the autumn. It's normal the first week of April to get a final glancing blow of winter here, and run the heat at night.

I probably didn't even really need to cover the tree. But it's making its first flush, and I was cautious - why not be? Last year this tree was in a weakened state from the prior winter, and it didn't flush until June. This year portends to be better. A flush in April implies that there's plenty of time to get a second flush.

I think the tree has a few pollinated flowers in it. It's probably too small to keep fruit, but we'll see how things go.
