If A Room Is a Mess & No One Sees It


Is It Still A Mess?

I grab my morning coffee on my way to work and some mornings the conversations can be quite entertaining.

Woman: It's a pig sty.  I want it cleaned out!

Guy: But it's my office.

Woman: In our house!

Guy: I'll shut the door.

Woman: I'll know it's there.

Guy: You'll never see it.

Woman: Doesn't matter.

Guy: What?  Why?

Woman: Because I'll know it's there.

Men . . . we can never win a conversation.

I’ve wanted to post a couple pictures of work around the house over the summer.  A few I had already shown but the big project was getting a facelift to an old facade.

Here is the old blue that has been on since the house was bought.  Nice, tired and just blue.
 
The new coat of paint has been toned down a bit with the splash of color on the front door with a red look to go with the ‘See Rock City’ birdhouse hanging close by.

These next few weeks will bring about a solid change but this weekend there is one last fling to Big Lake and the cabin.  One last chance to zip the cold waters on the Jet Ski’s before winterizing everything and closing it all up before the snow flies.

Full moon tonight over the mountains with a glass of Beringer remembering the events of this past summer wishing they had not come to such an abrupt end.  There was so much more to do but time got in the way.  I hate it when that happens.

Into the future and all of the possibilities, sleep well my friends and have a great holiday weekend!

Morrison Springs - Ponce de Leon, Florida

Image
Morrison Springs Ponce de Leon, Florida County road 181 Morrison Springs was one of our favorite dive spots on many of our Florida trips but it also had the most danger to it.  One of Northwest Florida’s best-kept secrets was known to more Georgia and Alabama folks than Floridians.  And they weren’t talking.  It had to do with the jewel of a Panhandle spring, a turquoise pool surrounded by stately cypress trees whose aerial roots stand taller than a man. Below the surface, clear, 68-degree water wells up from a spring cave source over 90 feet deep. Morrison Springs is just far enough off the beaten path in this sunny pine and cypress country to be special for any diver lucky enough to find and dive the site. The shallow pool reflects the overhead blue sky and if the water is clear and the bottom clean of silt, it resembles a giant sapphire.  Unlike some springs with a deep, black hole source, this one takes visitors gradually into its shallows from a golden-sand beach.

Are Showing Your Nipples Appropriate Work Attire?

Let me first say that personally, I have no problem with it at all. This has been kind of a weird week here in the north land with the first of many winter snowfalls’s to come and the landscape once again beautifully covered in the white stuff. It looks like the kids will have to put their Halloween costume on over a snowsuit again this year as the cold snowy stuff is here again. That is not what I wanted to write about tonight but was necessary to set up what I did want to write about. “Frosty nipples” are quite common here during most of the year and when things cool down on the cusp of winter probably more so. Work attire with tight shirts or low cut blouses that ‘make a statement’ during colder weather could be taken several ways by co-workers or visitors to your place of business. While you may not always be taken seriously by others in the office and some may have trouble looking you in the face, I say it's a freedom of rights issue. If you want to show o

Biscuits and Whores

Some of the best things about life I learned from Lonesome Dove. Great movie, excellent characters, and tells a story about how to live life. Augustus McCrae “It ain’t dying I’m talking about, it’s living.   I doubt it matters where you die, but it matters where you live.” I'm just tryin' to keep everything in balance, Woodrow. You do more work than you got to, so it's my obligation to do less. “Yesterday’s gone and we can’t get it back.” “I'm sure partial to the evening,' Augustus said. 'The evening and the morning.   If we just didn't have to have the rest of the dern day I'd be a lot happier.” Hat Creek Cattle Company Well we don't rent pigs and I figure it's better to say it right out front because a man that does like to rent pigs is . . . he's hard to stop. Biscuits “I never knew you to get excited about anything except biscuits maybe . . . and whores!”    Captain Woodrow Call to Augustus McCrae in Lonesome Dove. Whores L
