no matter where you go, there you are.

I have a love affair with French design. From the Citroen DS
to my favorite footwear Palladium boots.

First manufactured in post war 1947 France, Palladium boots are lightweight, durable, and
fashion proof. They used to be cheap, are now inexpensive and are never in or out of style. 
I cannot afford a DS sedan but i am never without a pair of Palladium's. 
Usually well worn and black.

We have no cable , no regular TV. We don't like people yelling at us
or the indoctrination.
We watch off Netflix streaming and thru the mail DVD's.
We are lately hooked on "The Last Resort", a one season series
centering on a rogue Nuclear Submarine Commander and his crew.
Totally excellent by the way...
a summary of the plot here

Did you ever notice how the stoplights leading to a wal-mart are always rigged in their favor?
They must bribe someone in city government everywhere they build  to set the lights so that turning into wal-mart always has the right of way...
The rest of us passing by have to stop or wait.

Our house was built in 1903. 
We love it, but a very old house means there are many, many ongoing projects.
This morning was paint the front steps over the holiday---day, for me.
JoJo picked the colors and it really does look great.
