Weekend stuff

I did a little traveling this weekend.First, here’s a house that I saw in Cold Springs. It has a very pitched roof with hips to the corners and a weird doghouse dormer on each of the hips. Larry and I decided that the upstairs room were hazards to walking with all of the odd angles. […]

Web Hosting Blues

When my websites went down last week, I decided that it was a bad thing to put all of my eggs in one basket. I searched around and settled on a web hosting company – HostMerit.com. They had a rich feature set and had a nice “reseller” package for $12.50 per month. This allows me […]

THE PRIX

I think that Chile and Argentina have the world’s best wines right now. Australia and New Zealand are emulating the bland California wines and like the […]

Wet Sunday

There has been quite a bit of rain in the last 48 hours. In West Nyack, every bit of land has been developed and grass planted. This has ruined the natural watershed so that when it rains, the Germonds Creek overflows its banks. The road was flooded this morning, but when I went to take […]
