Went to Henry V at Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival last night. They have a tent and a covered place to picnic, so rain showers not a problem.Quote:

Those were simpler times.Quote:

Somewhere on the road there just above Syracuse is the Boxing HOF. In a small town, feels like the middle of nowhere. But it was a decent visit. I doubt the kids have it on their lists tho.Quote:

One of the first pictures I took was of my two kids, nose plastered against the glass deck railing, staring at a LNG tanker heading to the Atlantic.Quote:

In other news, I mowed on the bias today. Reel mower really does provide a better cut but the lawn will be a mess in a few weeks with this heat.
Yay on a sandwich. Separate on a platter.Quote:

Yes and especially if there are onions involved. How was rolling around in the grass clippings?Quote:

I will start to experiment more.
might you change your handle to Mario Cuomo just to stay current? Though I hear things are trending the other way for some reason...Quote:

There are great rail trails and other walking paths along much of the western side.Quote:

The rest of you get off my long wet lawn, s'il vous plait.
“Sleepy Hollow Devil" would not be appropriate as I have never gone out in public without my head on - although I have to admit it is not always on straight.Quote:

Any chance there is a voice command? I know some Tesla's don't have a glove box latch. You have to go into the menus but they offer a voice command too. The new Cadillac Lyriq also doesn't have a glove box latch. Sometimes an over engineered "solution" to a nonexistent problem is the problem.Quote:
