Congrats to my niece LeighAnne and her new hubby Zach (I guess that makes him … what … my nephew-in-law?) . A quick photo of something that only a very few people have ever seen–me in a tie. I’m more a t-shirt and sandals kinda guy.  😉   Note that the tie is .. well … More The Wedding

Spent an afternoon walking around Nazareth PA, where I grew up. Re-living my childhood.   😉 Nazareth is a whitebread little town (pop around 6,000) in the Lehigh Valley, an hour north of Philadelphia. Some photos. ​The center Circle in Nazareth. It was the old colonial town commons.  ​Some of the old stone buildings in town … More Nazareth PA

It’s been raining ever since I got to PA, and forecast is more rain all this week. But I did get a gap in the clouds long enough to at least take a walk. Some quick photos. ​The little town of Pen Argyl. Once a prominent part of the slate industry. Now 100 years past … More A Walk in Pen Argyl

Been raining pretty steady since I got here, and forecast says there’s a break during this weekend but then rain again all next week. My solar panel is very very unhappy with me, and I have everything in the van shut down to save drain on the battery. I got all the housekeeping stuff done … More Yes Indeed, the Weather is Crap 🙂

Well, it’s supposed to rain all week, so I’ll likely be cooped up inside the whole time. My posts may be kinda sparse for a while ….    

Well, I was hoping to visit another of the DuPont mansions here in Wilmington before I left for Pennsylvania, but the weather here is solid rain for the entire week, so that won’t happen. Looking at Pennsylvania’s weather, it’s supposed to rain there too all week. So it looks like I’ll just be cooped up … More Well, Looks Like the Weather Will Suck….

This is a very nice state park near Wilmington DE. There are enough hiking trails to spend an entire day here, and most of the park consists of soaring groves of tulip poplars that are probably over 100 years old. It’s like walking in a green cathedral. Since it was kinda chilly last night, there … More Brandywine State Park
