    What is with the freaking red squirrels?

    We have more reds than ever before in Fairport NY. With farm land reverting to forest for the last 50 years and the burbs, which were once naked of trees, now have more and more mature trees they may be finding this more habitable? In the last 20 years there has been quite a resurgence of wild...

    "That's my exhaustively researched book report. Hopefully I get an A. " A++ but it still won't happen and I still question why he would even bring this up. :)

    Town supervisor explores Adirondack hiking fee

    Not going to happen. There is some other motive for stirring up this hornets nest. Maybe political or extreem positioning for something else so there can be compromise on a different issue/agenda?

    No good deed goes un-punished

    Funny but sad. There is some truth in the above for sure but I like to think this is the exception rather than th rule. I think the people just forgot to send it back, stupid, not very nice but not malicious or so I hope and maybe just maybe this story isn't over yet, just delayed.

    Tarptents-Talk to me

    Look at this http://hennessyhammock.com/catalog/custom_hammock/deep_jungle_asym_zip_xl/ We're the same size and this has lots of room and comfort. I've done the tarp and bug netting thing, it's cheap, easy and light, but a hammock is much more comfortable.
