Good morning, Rhodie

Brrr

Eight o'clock, fifteen degrees.

Reminds me of waiting at the bus stop as a child.

Why should I be surprised? It's January

Woke up to snow today.

Hope it stops soon, though.

January wreath

Trimmed with sweet gum balls

Sledding on the golf course

Big old inner tube filled with shrieking people

A few days after our Big Snow in mid December people were having a wonderful time at St. George's Golf and Country Club.

Wired

Did you ever notice how many wires there are everyhere? Hard to take a picture without including them. But when they get them all underground, if they ever do, will we recognize the place?

When my car is sick

I take it to Mike's Mechanics in PJ Station on Hallock Avenue. They've been there forever. This is Bob, the first medic you meet in the triage area.

Your car gets fixed right at Mike's and they don't scalp you. The waiting room is a friendly place, complete with coffee, TV, and interesting conversations.

New stone wall

On the corner of Barnum Avenue and 25A in Port Jefferson a new stone wall was being built on December 15th. I'm always fascinated to see permanent things emerging. And it won't look new.

Nice job

Can you just make out the nice little wage slave at Godiva Chocolatier whose job it is to play with chocolate? She has to look at it, pour it, sniff it, talk about it, sell it. She looked up from her chocolate drizzling and gave me a big grin. Too much reflection?
