I'm on the map!

Umm, Donna, you aren’t admitting to a crime are you? There are bots watching everywhere.


Is that too paranoid?


We'd miss you!

I don't think my grandfather ever forgave me for playing on the dock during a family gathering, while everyone else was inside. I was specificity told, by him, not to play on the dock. I tripped on the wire that held the two legs of the dock together and as best as I can figure bashed my head on the rocky bottom of the lake. If one of my uncles had not been looking out at the time, then I probably would not have been pulled out, unconscious, from the bottom. I have a nice scar which is being slowly being reviled by a receding hair line. After that, I got the impression that he did not care much for my company. I could not have been older then 9.

Partially, I identify with the logo as a sort of apology to my grandfather.

Oh my, Google maps is scary. I just went looking at my dad's cottage. In satellite view. Because I know what I am looking at, I can make out the dock that I just described. Sometimes I think this is cool, sometimes it scares me.

As for family legacies, we're living on land that my great grandfather bought in the late 1860s after he got out of the union army. Ours is the first house to be built on the property. After living my whole life in one town or another, we've now been living on my heritage for 16 years. My youngest says don't even THINK about selling it.
