We just received some new composters for use as holiday gifts. While there many tumbling type composters on the market this one, (from Compostumbler), is different. First off it is not black.While black is the ruling color for composting bins I often wonder if it gets too hot inside an enclosed bin on a hot summer day.

This vessel (Gypsum Integrity: 300 feet long) came sailing by us near the end of our southward expansion. The "bridge" is located on THE SIXTH STORY! Needless to say we changed course and let him pass!"Yesterday, all my rudders seemed so far away!!!So far away as in the little island viewed to the south while crossing the Rip that is.

It has been awhile since we sailed the Hudson. But we went out This morning at the 7AM hour. Stopped off at Riverside Cafe' for some jolt and a bun. Nice place but the prices threw me overboard. $3.49 for a 12 ounce coffee and hard roll.Stewart House continues it's strange ways. They promised a cafe' sidewalk style along with inside seating and a farmers market. I saw the produce from a local farm at it was enticing. However the cafe' and market disappeared quicker than a mermaid on the high ... Read Full Story
