I like the composition, lighting and the fact that nature looked like nature. I am just curious why he put that ugly boat in the middle of it. ROTFL!!!! I don't care - that was funny.

You need to lighten up somewhat. Enjoy the scenery. Quit calling so many names. Slow down and smell the coffee. How's the health of everyone in your family? Actually, everyone seems to be doing quite well. My neck hurts, but I shouldn't have been out trying to get the leaves up. The new baby in the family isn't eating properly, and now has a tube into it's stomach. At feeding time, he gets loaded with a back pack full of a liquid diet which flows into his stomach. Kinda cute. Thanks for asking! Since you didn't say anything, I figure that means all the girls are doing great and had a good boobie inspection. Let me know when they are doing their walk for boobs, it is always nice to contribute to such a good cause. The girls are good, we hope. The younger is pregnant again, so they've postponed the MRI guided biopsy of a suspicious mass until after she delivers. Her doctors tell her that they wouldn't be at all concerned if she didn't have a family history of cancer. I'll announce the next Race for the Cure. You and a lot of the guys here are great supporters! -- John H- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - My heart goes out to you and your family, John. |

Sure, we could get Loogie to tie up the rebar, we can show him how it's done;) What I need is a nice new 30-40' deep barn, with a double, 12' high rollup overhead door. I can't store anything of value in my old barn, because it is structurally unsound. I had some boards replaced on it, just so it wouldn't be as unsightly, but the reality is that it is either going to fall in on itself someday soon or I will have to pay to have it demolished and hauled. All it is is an old tobacco barn, loosely built. These days, it mostly provides shelter for my old tractor, some tools and a significant number of critters wintering out of the wind and cold. I've got a couple of union buddies who have volunteered the labor to dig and pour the footers and slab and build up a foundation wall of fancy block three or four courses up off the footers. I'm really thinking I want the Amish guys around here to do the rest of the job. Next time I head over to their market, I might lasso one of the elders and talk to him about it for a spring project. The Amish around here are top-notch barn builders. That really sounds like a great winter and spring project, keep us up to date on the progress. Maybe you can also build the critters a nice small place to keep them warm and cozy during the winter. I placed a heater in my mom's well house, it would do a really nice job on your critter home. You could also place one of those auto feeders that dispenses the food automatically as they eat. Wildlife love to be pampered. |

There's no way around here that a regular union contractor and carpentry crew are going to mess with a homeowner's barn. They've been out of the stick-built residential business for years. I could find and hire a bunch of union guys who are between jobs or retirees, I suppose, but the Amish around here specialize in barns, sheds, decks and suchlike, and they are the ones to call. None of my union associates are even slightly offended by the hiring of the Amish for this sort of work. |

The only pickets I've ever seen around here were in front of a Wal-Mart a year or so ago, when just about everyone was protesting its plans to build a stuporWal-Mart or whatever they call it on the site. So many signatures were gathered that the county commissioners knew for sure they'd be tossed out on their butts if they let the store have its way with our county. Every group has its upside and downside, but I do admire the Amish sense of community. The crews around here typically work for themselves, their family, and their collective community. They've formed a kibbutzim! I'll have to kid one of the elders I've grown to know over the years at the produce market. I'm sure he'll get a laugh out of it. |

While you are it tell them how you feel about their beleifs and traditions. Funny how you can justify anything you want no matter how much it seems to go against your stated posisitions. Again, must be a liberal thing.. You know, scream about Global taxing and fly private jets or use the higest carbon footprint solution for your un-necessary gas guzzling toys. Scream about media bias while in direct colaboration with all the main outlets. Or deliberately attend and disrespect a Christmas parade, just to hurt folks feelings, then hire the most religeous folks you can find, because they have a moral core and good work ethic. Collect a pension from a bunch of folks you milked for years already and then hire non-union help around the house. I bet there are plenty of union carpenters that would build you a shed, you are just full of ****. You are indeed the top of the barrel when it comes to liberal justification and self indulgence. Go ahead, tell one of the elders how you really feel;) |

Every group has its upside and downside, but I do admire the Amish sense of community. Yes, good people. Do they use modern tools and equipment with their construction? |

Do they use modern tools and equipment with their construction? Yes, they do, and they arrive in pick-me-up trucks. They bring needed cash back to their community, and I suppose they get a dispensation from the elders. It's nice visiting their markets, too, because the young girls who work the booths with their moms, dads, brothers, sisters, grandparents, et cetera, are there sans tons of goopy make-up and weirdo hairstyles, and they look much prettier than most of their "English" contemporaries. When we go to the market, I mostly schmooze with some of the elders while my wife stocks up on their food products, fresh and canned, and their floral baskets. They come to market with their horses and black buggies, and some open horse-drawn cars. Nice-looking draught horses. I especially like the fact that while they keep their traditions, cultural and religious, they don't try to force any of that on others. In that regard, they're like Jews, who I also admire as religious people for the same reasons. |

Are you talking PA, or are there some local ones around here? |

The one we hit most often is on Route 5 between Hughesville and and Hollywood in St. Mary's County, MD. It's on the grounds of the public library. I don't know the name of the small intersection there. If you went over the bridge at Solomons and turned right on Route 5, you'd be there in about 15 miles, give or take. |

Actually, that might be Route 235...it's the main drag between those two metropolitan areas, Hughesville and California. |

I'll run the wife down there. We like that ride and it's not far. |

I would call the library first, as I have no idea whether the farmers show up in the winter cold. Never been there in the winter. Bring cash in small bills. The Amish do not accept plastic at the market, and most of the food items are only a few dollars for a whole lot of eats. The breads are terrific. |

I'll put it on the calendar for next March. That should be pretty safe. |
