...Jacksonville, me and Mom and Dad are all from there (Ft George Island)...I've been threatening a pilgrimage to Massachusetts since I was a teenager...simply must go there before I die.
New England particularly Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont in the fall are really nice climate wise, warm days, cool nights, beautiful when the foliage changes as well. Hated the winters up there though. And of course you have to make that trip to Fenway to see the local team play ball.
ssshhhhh, ........ah fk it, I do have my license, got it the day I retired.... You indeed have the talents of your Father, then some; (when it comes to sniffing out the real issues, flying under the radar).... Damn, I thought we were in stealth mode.... Indian flatheads, Harley Knuckleheads, Panheads, Ducati's and Triumphs, (antique Triumphs & 90s on as well); a Man after my own soul......
.....^^^ Emerson forever changed me, Thoreau too, 2 of America's greatest talents with mind, and pen........ Eihei Dogen will always mystify me........."what is the sound of one hand clapping?" One cannot bleed out the Canuck in a FC. Thus Kerouac has always tugged on my heart strings as well, ie, Desolation Angels.....
