PRESENTED BY KEITH Inline image Dierdre is off on what she hopes will be a sunnier Memorial Day up in her home state of Michigan. That left Keith, her volunteer Sous Chef, Camping Department Deputy in Charge (SCCD-DIC,Vol). We start with a tip: if it looks like the world might be in a period of […]

The U.S. Commission of Fine Arts (CFA) approved the arch design- whew- so Miles assigned Vic to bring you up to speed on what is going on over by where some of our remains will spend eternity. He immediately conned Keith into doing it and I got to type. So, for Vapor, Rocket, Splash, Miles, […]

But that is just what we said Monday, not having any idea what the reactions on Tuesday were going to sound like. We thought the President had been clear. “No nukes. Turn over the atomic dust.” There seemed at least to be some clarity as to what those two things meant, anyway, at least between […]

That makes a challenge here for Socotra house, since the Galley off the Conference Room is inadequate ventilation. But come Summer we will be ready with propane power and the Russel range cooktop we keep in the back of […]
