I'm done with school! (i hope... I walk tomorrow... Don't find out grades till monday or later!)

Beautiful tulip. Looking forward to more rose smelling, less law... Oh whoops... That whole bar exam thing... Not thinking about it till monday... Where's my flower power?

It's okay to be Takei! (Take that, Tennessee!)



My water's on fire tonight

Did anyone take pix?

Oddly, this is a follow up to @heidi #49711 and the cheese conversation. They're from a tiny village called Germania in Potter County, Pa. Germania has one of the oldest continuously running volunteer fire departments in the state, the Goodyear Hose Company #1.

Germania Hotel (I have some pretty cool pix of the inside - just amazing that the place hasn't been abandoned.)

Some shots from the Germania Old Home Day that supports the fire company.

I went in the Can Can Candy store on elmwood after hitting the coop for lunch. The hot bar choices sucked so I got some discontinued amy's organics freezer food and mango sorbet. And then I got all this loot! Not the aqarius game... That just looked pretty with the candy. All my childhood favorites :-)

Cabot with wax coating? I'll have to check it out. In the meantime, I've got this one.

Isn't this a little harsh?

How funny that @mrmike would post that title... The Grateful Dead version of this American traditional has been on an inaccessible edge of my consciousness since posting all those bluegrass tunes.

The video on this is terrible but the sound quality seems to be better than average. Alpine Valley, 1989.

Lana &i stopped for ice cream between genesseo & batavia at The Barn.
