I was in Kingston, New York on Sunday for the Spring Market edition of Field + Supply, and enjoyed the afternoon. As I was leaving town, driving west on Broadway to get to the New York State Thruway, I noticed this house, above, with a “yard sale” sign out front. While it seems to be … Read more
I have been experiencing some problems with mail delivery via the USPS over the past few months. What happens is that someone mails me something, and it gets returned to the sender with a yellow sticker that says “not deliverable as addressed,” even though it’s my correct address. Then the person sends it a second … Read more
I’ve seen plenty of Tesla Cybertrucks, and have to admit, I like the look of them. But as I was out and about on an errand, I did a double-take when I saw this Tesla Cybertruck, as it had a custom paint job to advertise the Future Remodeling company. It’s a pretty striking design, especially … Read more

I was recently down in the area of Freehold, NJ, and decided to take a look around. Part of it was some real estate research – there were some affordable homes on the market (seen on Zillow), and Freehold is not far from the beach, but I had never been there before and thought I’d … Read more
I was walking around a Belleville (NJ) neighborhood, when I walked by this church and did a double-take. The white shape in that window, it seemed to have a suggestive shape. If you look more-closely, as I have below left, do you see the suggestion of a forehead and brow, with the right-side eye in … Read more
I had a chance to visit Paris in 2012, and I took full advantage of my time there to visit the major museums, walk the streets, and explore different neighborhoods. One in particular that I wanted to visit was Montmartre, due to its significant role in art history, as the one-time home base for artists … Read more
