It makes no sound
I can assure you, when a tree falls in the forest –with no creatures around — it does not make a sound. A heave wind pushed this guy over last week. Been dead for a long time, providing home for bugs (and birds). I fired up my little chainsaw and cut it into nice, easy-to-lift chunks that will be hauled out later this week.
Governor Motor Company
I’ve been driving past the Governor Motor Company for decades and always assumed it was just another used car lot. After meeting the owner and getting a look around, I’d call it an art gallery/cultural artifact museum.
More photos here and I’m hoping to persuade the owner, Ricky Mendez, to sit/walk for an interview.
French cooking class
A few years ago Barb, her sister and her niece went to Paris and while there took a class in French cooking. Specifically, how to make croissants. While browsing their website she discovered they were included in a promotional video.
August Smart Locks
From the August Smart Locks website: “Ever forget or lose your keys? Wonder if you locked the door on your way out? Or go all the way home just to let someone in? August Smart Locks take any worry out of getting into your home. Use an app on your phone to control your door to unlock/lock, grant guest access, see who came and left, and let anyone in from anywhere. Simply attaches to your existing deadbolt on the inside of your door – your outside lock stays the same and you keep your existing keys.”
Uses a couple of AA (?) butteries that are easy to access and change. You can still use your key and lock the door manually if you need to.
PS: Sorry about the annoying sniffs. Runny nose.
