Saturday morning…

 …after fueling on the Marriott’s continental breakfast; and watching two fellows have breakfast with their phones. (click photographs for larger view) iPhone 6s …and after brewing locally roasted (by Emy J’s) Ethiopian coffee, in my decades old Morentina mocha pot, over the old butane camp stove, in the Marriott parking lot; we headed out on the country roads, in and […]

Serendipity…

By happy happenstance… Jake, from the Waupun area, 45 miles Northeast of my home, wanted to purchase the floor board nailer that I had listed for sale on craigslist. Once we agreed on the price I offered to drive 10 miles his way to ease his travel time. He countered with, “half way.” Now. Do […]
