Go Bathe Yourself In Fire

February 4, 2013

You fought hard and you saved and learned, but all of it’s going to burn. And your mind, your tiny mind, you know you’ve really been so blind. Now’s your time burn your mind. You’re falling far too far behind. Oh no, oh no, oh no, you gonna burn! Fire, to destroy all you’ve done. [...]

Of Muskets and Manned Flight

I’ve accumulated some more photos from disparate sources. Niagara-on-the-Lake in Ontario, Canada has its share of hyphens. Despite that it is a rather large tourist attraction hosting some of the best vineyards in the Great White North. Besides the trodden grapes the area has a great deal of history including action during the war of [...]

Hershey, PA is the land of chocolate or something. Well, not really since nothing seemed to be built with cocoa anywhere within the city limits.

I went ostensibly for an NAWCC chapter mart where I could look over watches and such for sale. Afterwards I had planned to go to the Simone Foundation Automotive Museum with a fellow horological [...]
