I knew that I had a good excuse for not grinding sausage.

We went down here instead.

And along the way we saw this.

And we sat out and watched the moon rise.

And this was the house in a gated community up on the hill.

OK, I'll bite. Where was it and what were you doing there ?

That is a cove on the Sassafras River east of the Chesapeake Bay Maryland.
Oh Yeah. We sailed there on Wednesday and spent two peaceful nights on our sail boat.

Yes sir you DO.

And you can always make sausage, when the snow is as deep as your waders.....

In the "good-old-days", I used to fish Lake Michigan.

I really need to get into my fishing attitude. We sailed right through a flock of terns feeding on bait fish driven to the surface by big fish down below. I shoulda, coulda, woulda trolled a soft lure through there. And I coulda turned and sailed back through. No propeller noise.

Hi everybody, couldn't help but chime in...I'm a transplant from the Chesapeake Bay, in fact the head near the C & D Canal... sure do miss the blue crabs and steak subs...none in WV can come close...

I/we have lived in Bel Air for 41 years but have only had a cruising sail boat for 12.

Yeah... when this melts... I might go sailing too!

That's high desert country? How do they find the road?

Well, actually we have trained road-finding, eastern Utah polecats to mark the way. We train them all summer to mark the roads. Then just before a big snowstorm in late fall, we start windin` up their tails. Round and round they go, until they are completely wound up. When released back into the wild, they will mark the road perfectly as their tails unwind with a whirring sound, leaving a distinct trail to follow.

That works. I have also heard that there are magnets buried in the road surface and sensors on the trucks.
