Hmm

Sorry for all the video posts, lately.
I do have things to say, but not the time.


Which is ironic, given the content of this video.

Sian

I have never surfed and only have a vague idea where Sian is, on a map...

But it looks like a nice place to be.

Nobody Speak

How did that pig get in there?

Battle Cat

So, this happened.

The Reason

I rarely head towards the home town...


The future foretold by this cookie may be the reason.

Packages

Huh...

Sailboats

Did you know I have a thing for sailboats?

Well, I do, in spite of knowing fuck all about sailboats I think they're cool...


The Ocean State has a fair number of them.
They get made here, or maybe used to be made here, I don't know.

Anyway, I wandered over to a museum featuring a couple of sea loving brothers, who built boats.  The Herreshoff Museum.
They built some historic America's Cup boats as well.
Torpedo boats, too.
Really, a lot of boats.


Like I said, I don't really know much about boats, so reading about the innovative rigging of an aft jibakker, or whatever, sort of goes over my head.
Regardless, it's hard not to appreciate some lithe bit of wood, stuck together to race across waves with a gust of wind.

Oh, there is family narrative, history of motivation, genius and local economy on display as well, if you pay attention.
Cool museum...

Greatest Headline Ever
