ELC Road Trip – Listing in Gig Harbor

I was in Gig Harbor recently, and saw this little sailboat. I asked, and was told that her name used to be “Roaring Bessie,” and that she was originally a gilnetter converted into a pleasure boat. Nice lines. Swoopy sheer.

Hardware News – From a bit south of here.

I was repulsed and drawn, at the same time.

ELC Rainy Day Post No. 1 – Seeking a bit of inspiration.

I guess the rain inspired me to go find this photo of Andy Kaufman. I can’t seem to stop looking at it either. I’m guessing that he was a lefty.
And then, there’s this.

Even our leaders support it these days, it seems. About time.

“Ahh Silvio, my little top.”

The bridge on the right is the new one, on the left, the old one.

ELC Dept. of Peace & Neutrality – Because with doughnuts, we will find commonality.

We have a handful of good doughnut places here in town, though sadly, none here in Lake City.
One is called Top Pot, where they’ve successfully mixed our elitist liberal principals with deep fried dough. The other is Mighty-O, where they’ve introduced the concept of a vegan doughnut to our otherwise conservative food sensibilities.
In doughnuts, man [...]

Now has Christmas lights on his shed. I guess the holidays are here.
