You’ve given me an amazing picture—this post goes into my file. I’ll check out those threads, especially the ones for the Roberts. Islands of death, huh? That could characterize certain books, Al. Whacking through the briars IS a challenge, but sometimes it’s worthwhile. I wondered about...

Someone take photos, please? AND post them? --Suffering in SC

So you two crawl through the deer tunnels to get there? And what do you find? Glo

Pipe dream. So cool for its mystery, lighting, and concept--and the best yet of Alfie. Glo

Plenty of food for thought here--glad you took them. A hundred questions arise, but for now, I'll ask only one. How many (average-sized men) could fit into the underground hideout? Looking forward to your snow pics. Glo

Besides the interesting cellar holes, nice comment on the pines' scent. I'm not a musician like you, Jeff, but when the wind's rising, I like to hear the white pines sing. Glo

Your birds have such personality! I think the birds and the "diamonds" are the best part of Cape May. :) Glo

And I could've been standing by the interstate, flagging you down with an envelope of money. Cash, Dave. But it's the wrong interstate--you'll be driving 95 and we're up in the mountains. Sniff. Glo

I WANT this car! My husband will fix it. Can ya tow it to SC for me? LOL Or maybe I'll keep it at the Red Carpet Inn in Hammonton--it'll match. :mrgreen: Glo

Great show! Now we want to see what the aforementioned vehicle looks like on the outside (unless it's classified). Piney Paintjob? I heard that description from Ed, but haven't seen one myself. Glo

I agree, Mark. From Eudora Welty to E.B. White, Dorothy Parker to James Thurber--and dozens more--they have a distinguished past. Glo

Such an interesting thread, Guy, especially the homemade grave (?) marker. What were the sticks tied together with? Was it off the road/path or close by? I hate to hear about this sort of thing. Ignorance/carelessness/stupidity shouldn't be permitted to be bliss, but what's the solution...

Aw . . . Alfie! Beware of hasty judgments. Sure, the New Yorker may be haughty-left-liberal, but (in addition to the illustrious McPhee) they occasionally publish articles that could benefit any thinking person. Relax and enjoy their satire--often arcane--and their cartoons--sometimes amusing...

If it's the Skit, I'm loving it. Good pics -- looks like a great walk. Nice to see how the expression on your son's face changed. He'll learn (by watching you) that there's life beyond soccer. Mine did, but it took a while. Glo

Bravo! You've got a way with words. :) Glo

Good question. What was her manner, Keith? Did she seem unbalanced? (not that it's always evident.) Any emotion? Did she seem concerned that you'd caught her? Glo

(Thank you Mr. Oji for this insightful comment. :mrgreen:) My goodness gracious me! Plaids and stripes; polka-dots and pink plastic purses? No wonder y'all didn't find any bears in y'all's swamp. Miz G

Great shot! I'd love to see that. I've never fished much more than trout. Glo

You nailed it, Bill. When it comes to narrative nonfiction, John McPhee is my hero. I've missed most of his New Yorker pieces but I have a whole shelf of his books, probably most of them. After The Pine Barrens, my favorite is Coming into the Country. (Alaska) Like you, I thought he was...
