I hauled out most of the old tires 'n junk. The frogs like the algae which is typical for late August in healthy water. What a nice fixer-upper and what a masterly apropos title for A Board, it is. a long time passing + abandonment + a LURK = a SQUAT on SI. DIBS!!!!!!! Now that's what I call fun! Other old pals from Gold Rush Days might hop in here, maybe play catch-up. See how long it's taken to restore this lagoon... haven't even got started on the castle - flipping the fixer-upper's been the big thing these past years. Word Is the time for Big Days in the realty tulipmania realm are about to close. shhhhhhhhh Yet again, there always has been and will be good solid profit to be made in such a noble venture as restoration of habitat. It's been years now of looking lazy on this SI lilypad here, just a-puffin' and a-thinkin'.... watching dragonflies turtles bats eagles fishes swallowtails & in a mode so way beyond lurking... only to arrive @ some brilliant geezerly mantric conclusion which is "it comes and it goes" Been off the internet altogether, mostly unplugged for years. About ready to make money & have fun on the Glorious Dangerous All-American Dream StockMarket again. Is there any better place to laugh and think and wait for the wind to billow a hoisted sail than SI boards? If there is, I've never seen it. I just now dropped something that made the same clatter as dropping a contractor's bag full of cans and bottles when it hit the ground, would sound. What a relief, it's been on me for years. The sound you just heard was the sound of the dropping of grudges. That sound makes it possible for me to close now with these words meant in wholehearted sincerity to ALL on SI... BEST WISHES AND BEST OF LUCK, Joana Tides
