At the Airport, Miami Beach Bound

Off to Miami.  Lucas said it was embarrassing that we went to the wrong airport, missed our plane, and now sit in Newark at 4:45 am catching our replacement.  Hard to disagree with him on this one.  And regrettably, hard to blame on anyone else.


Farm 31 in Kerhonkson, coming to a conclusion.  I'm hoping by the time I get back, the snow is gone and the seasons have changed.



Stone, salvaged wood, and a radiator, a strapped hinged barn door and a 9light 2 panel red front door and a schoolhouse pendent light.


(i.e., Nice Mudroom)







Some some salvaged red barn wood at the 2nd floor open tbd space.


A Bedroom anyone could enjoy.



And my photo for my Campaign for the Supervisor of Highland.  Once elected, I'll be the first modern manager our town has ever seen - badly needed after the fiscal fiasco we are currently experiencing.  The River Reporter is already arming their slingshot with mud, but that can only be expected from those community-manipulators over there.  They celebrate the entrenched ineptitude and incompetence of their friends regardless of the negative impact on the Community at large and most of us are tired of it.

Someone is to blame for Sullivan County's 3 decade decay, and my nomination are these folks, and their blinded followers. With so much going for it in terms of beauty and proximity to NYC, the lack of economic progress is due to lack of effective leadership.  The self-dealing of Sullivan County's do-gooder class is fascinating to me, sad for those for those more directly impacted.

It's possible that my entry into the political fray will motivate other smart people to do the same, augmenting the choices of the voters, which is never a bad thing.

Real life Sponge Bob.

I bought some Von Zipper shades and when I was checking out they asked
'do you want to add this hat?  It's a big foam hat with a too big brim that says
'It's 5:00 somewhere.'  Little bit of buyers remorse.
