Some Chicago Boyz know each other from student days at the University of Chicago. Others are Chicago boys in spirit. The blog name is also intended as a good-humored gesture of admiration for distinguished Chicago School economists and fellow travelers.

Great picture. Two words: motion and color. Was this taken before or after the storm?
Glad you like it. The weather was tranquil. Dark clouds because it was getting late.
In the Pine Barrens of South Jersey, there are “pygmy pine forests”.
“The pygmy pine plains consist of mostly flat, open terrain with few major geographical features. Many ecologists suspect that’s why the dwarf trees grow there; without natural breaks like streams, forest fires were likely even more frequent on the plains throughout history than in other parts of the Pine Barrens. The trees can survive, and even thrive, in a highly fire-prone environment, but they end up runty as a result.”
