PS: June is still Black Fly season up there. You'd be insane in 24 hours without netting and bug spray.

Our camp is SW. New Yorker's call their lake places camps. Back from the days when Robber Barons had a "place" on 5th Ave, a "Camp" at Saranac. and a "cottage" at Newport... Each with a full time staff...; 6/30/15, 8:44 AM

Said the coroner. About the other one, Matt. The dead one.; 6/30/15, 9:05 AM

Jaq said...: So if your plan is to escape, ditch the fat old drunk pot-head right away, even if he does use his sexual charms and artistic abilities to get you the stuff you need to break out.; 6/30/15, 9:24 AM

I'm surprised they could not or did not steal a car immediately after discovering that the weak-minded attention-starved guard foiled their plan by coming to her senses. She was so witless for so long, they never saw that coming.; 6/30/15, 10:10 AM

"You oughta know not to stand by the window
Somebody might see you up there
I got some groceries, some peanut butter
To last a couple of days"; 6/30/15, 10:33 AM
