It’s an entrance. A tight fit for most, even for the residents. The mailbox appearance is really just a facade for the casual observer. So is the weathered condition of the structure. Inside, it’s Home and Garden beautiful. Archtechture Digest amazing. Martha Stewart worthy. But we’ll never see it. It’s private and obviously well guarded.
Life can be baffling. The only time it isn’t, is when we aren’t thinking about it. For some, the intrepid, the seekers, the questions of life, about life go unresolved. Each question leading to another. No answers are complete. No answers are final. No answers are complete. They seek wisdom from the sages, from the mystics, from sacred objects only to find the answers are within but the questions remain. WTF MacBeth?
We usually think of old farmers in bib overalls wearing John Deer caps. Maybe it’s a stereotype, maybe it’s accurate. I haven’t photographed many farmers, old or young but I did catch this one out cutting his field. No overalls at all. In fact he’s totally naked. Totally, totally naked, except for the hat and scarf. Scarfs aren’t a good idea around farm equipment.
There is an art to being able to walk in the rain and not get wet. Maybe art isn’t the best word. It’s science. Science and technique. Technique and skill. Techni-skill. The technique is based on vibration. As we know, everything is vibrating, even rocks. When things vibrate slowly, they appear to be solid. Knock a rock on your skull and you’ll appreciate this apparent solidity. Gases vibrate rapidly. You can pass your hand through gas easily. Some people have […]
The notorious tomato hornworm is not well regarded amongst gardeners. Many of them are all too happy to douse them with Sevin Insect Killer to wipe them out, eradicate them, remove them from the face of the earth and save their tomatoes. Others like to use less chemically invasive methods like poisoning them with bacteria or unleashing parasites. What many people don’t know is that tomato hornworms are nature’s performers with many talents. They can reportedly sing but only other […]
There is a rock on the side of the road, deep in the Pinelands. Geologically, it does not belong there. There aren’t any big rock formations anywhere nearby. It’s sandy. It’s the coastal plain. No outcrops, no boulders. No one really knows where it came from. Some think it fell off a truck. Maybe it grew there. People like to paint it. I first saw it over 20-30 years ago. It was gold. The next time I saw it a […]
Not “on” first. We know that was Who. Instead who was here first? It is an interesting mix of businesses, although not surprising. My guess is that customers of Bob are not adverse to stopping in at the place next door. I could see either of these businesses make a decision to locate next to the other one. Both create a draw. I suppose it’s possible that both have the same owner, although they have fairly dissimilar business models. On […]
This used to be under a government building in Washington and now it is in Wind Gap PA. It is still operational. Fully operational. (Apparently CONTROL headquarters were relocated.) As can be noted it also has been upgraded from an analog rotary system to a more modern analog button system. More efficient and quicker, especially if a KAOS agent is following you. It is a wonder why this is out in the open, but maybe that’s the ploy. Who would […]
Mail has gotten slow. Too slow for many of us who got used a pretty efficient postal service. Of course, when there is a problem there is often a solution, multiple solutions. Hopefully the government will rectify things. In the mean time there are some ingenious hacks people are using to blast out their mail.
I shop here often. It is quite popular and I understand why. You can get things here that no other stores carry. Many people get their voodoo supplies here. I’m not into voodoo, but I do visit the tinctures and rare ingredients aisle. Sometimes, when shopping, I feel a cold chill pass through me and things fall off the shelves into my basket. It must be the air conditioning. Shopping hours can be a little confusing. Sometimes the store is […]
