It's bang on in Rochester. We have tickets to the local ball park. They have telescopes and some dank ass t-shirts for sale!

I wouldn't trust the solar glasses.

You may find me in your attic.

How close to Rochester is totality?

I will be up there for this. Going house hunting afterward.

On order. Same with the solar filters for my cameras. May pick up a tracking mount and tripod too.

He did. I however have been swamped with family and moving and did not have the chance to meet up.

I'm mad at myself for that.

Why?

Some scientist said it was key to perfect tea. Their conclusion was faulty.

Ice tea.

Baking soda is better.

Corn is to humans as bells are to grizzlies.

and two cups of sugar?

The proper amount of sugar is determined by viscosity.

In Nunavut, at least 25 yrs. ago if the sea is frozen with thick layer in winter, they play sea golf. That's what the locals told me, when I was flown up there for a job interview.

Snow golf is a thing in Vermont.

We play our own form of bocce ball. We play back and forth across 3 sections of lawn with some serious hazards (hills, numerous flower beds, terraced lawn sections). It's one of WoKzoo's favorite games.

My more rural friends and I used to play Farm Golf.

You know, I've lived in WA most my entire 57 years of life. One day I may just decide to pick it all up and move to the desert. I think he's ready for change and his time is running short. His life has been changing and now I think he's ready for a change. Apart from his sister, there's nothing keeping him there. He is free to do what he wants and I applaud him for doing what he wants. I am a believer in inner callings. I repeat: he knows.

I am ready for a change. The last few years have been stressful.

Forwarded the arts

Forwarded science

Improved the lives of my friends

Honored my family

And preserved the environment by giving up my home

With that I'm done with duty for a while. I'm going to enjoy the beauty of nature while it still exists. Make some bad art, catch some fish, volunteer at a nature center or something, study French if I move to a border town.....

Have you considered just renting in these places for a year? I'm sensing you just want "something" but haven't quite landed on what or where. What seems, from the outside, to be a quaint and welcoming place, might in fact be restricted and closed to newcomers. Likewise, winter in one week doses might be a fun adventure, but hibernation for three months might start to be a bit of a chore.

Rent and see that you actually love it and fit in and that Yankee charm is what you really want.

I have considered renting. Not my first choice being tied up in a year lease.

Currently, everything at Springwood will be in storage shortly. Then I'm moving into the lake house temporarily. From there I will check out the Southern Appalachians, but that's were I went to boarding school and college, been there done that.

That will get old quick but I will have done my due diligence. From there I am going to bounce around New England renting air b&bs for a month or so here and there.

My first thought was... What is the elevation of the home compared to the river? Flooding could be a problem if the house isn't too much higher than the elevation of the river.

Given the some of the decor, it feels as if that doctor probably had been serving the town for enough decades.. Ages.

Yeah, like the office of the kid/doctor in Field of Dreams.

You may find it too close to the road given your current setup.

That has crossed my mind.

From outside, looks nice. Wow, that studio bldg. Depending on the location, a place like that will appreciate in value. Guess depends what innards look like and how much retrofit --if needed. Depends if you need a huge backyard, etc. So no garage? Just asking since in snow country, it's nice to have it or carport.

There is a garage under the studio.

It was a doctor's house and office previously.
