Lazy Daze Expandable Dinette Seating, July 19, 2009
As part of LD's diet program I tossed the expandable dinette seating
LD's dinette will easily seat four with the seats pulled out and extra cushions added. I've been carrying the extra cushions around ever since I moved in here way back in November of '07. I haven't used them, not even once. They are history now. Gone. And so is the 50 pounds or so of the seat expansion mechanism.
You just wait. That abominable cockeyed adjustable table leg with the shin tearing sharp edges is gonna be history one of these days too.
Night camp
On my property off Less Traveled Road - The Home Place, Red Rock, East Chatham NY
- I used to camp in a few locations on what little I had left of the family farm
- In the driveway by the house
- Across the road where the barn once stood
- On the 20 acre piece off Less Traveled Road
- Now, with the kind support of the friends who now own the place, I camp across the road where the barn once stood.
- Verizon cell phone service - Terrible, barely usable with an amplifier
- Verizon EVDO service - Terrible, barely usable with an amplifier
- Find other references to Home Place
- List the nights I've camped here
- Check the weather here
Sincerity Itself is Bullshit
As conscious beings, we exist only in response to other things, and we cannot know ourselves at all without knowing them. Moreover, there is nothing in theory, and certainly nothing in experience, to support the extraordinary judgement that it is the truth about himself that is the easiest for a person to know. Facts about ourselves are not peculiarly solid and resistant to skeptical dissolution. Our natures are, indeed, elusively insubstantial - notoriously less stable and less inherent than the natures of other things. And insofar as this is the case, sincerity itself is bullshit.
