Has anyone tried Trails.com?  I suspect them of being a scam, but they seem to have a page for everything.   _

 I just took the sailboat out of the Honda and replaced it with 8 overfull bags of tree clippings.  I love my car.   _

sailing upper mystic
Sailing on labor day. Does anyone know the correct etiquette when boat club denizens descend in their dozens in their single-class sailboats and begin obsessively rounding buoys? Can I just assume the shouters in the launch will tell me if I'm in the way?

(I should mention they were sailing Snipe, just because, well, they're called Snipe.) _

mystic RR bridge
The 1955 railroad bridge under Wedgemere station, over the brook that feeds Upper Mystic Lake. I particularly liked the algae on the ceiling, living off reflections. _

Wait, is John the Revelator by Depeche Mode Unitarian Universalist Rock? Particularly the line, 'There is only one God, through and through'  Is UU Rock even more embarrassing than Christian Rock?  I think it might be!  Any other examples out there?   In retrospect, I think we can include Blasphemous Rumours and Personal Jesus.    _

Indenture is my new favorite etymology. "The term comes from the medieval English "indenture of retainer" — a legal contract written in duplicate on the same sheet, with the copies separated by cutting along a jagged (toothed, hence the term "indenture") line so that the teeth of the two parts could later be refitted to confirm authenticity." _

I hope twitter dies soon.  I feel like a grumpy old man in a ghost town. Finally setting up an RSS reader. See what you've made me do? _
