In Grandpa’s backyard:
4 trees + 8 taps
Yields quite a bit of sap.
A lot of sap + hours of boiling
Yields a little delicious syrup.
Homemade syrup + Grandma’s pancakes
Makes for a real treat !!
Collecting sap + making syrup
Expands a young boy’s knowledge.

In an era of hyper-awareness of communicable disease, it would be hard to imagine a more ideal vector for the transmission of coronavirus (or any other pathogen) than the handle of a slot machine. Perhaps roulette or blackjack are safer bets, or maybe New York State casinos and other gaming venues should be shut down until the situation improves. Just saying.
