Maybe it is one of those feral paddle boats? Without enough human contact, paddle boats (and, for that matter, any non-motored watercraft) can "go native" and revert to the ways of their undomesticated ancestors. A sobering lesson for all of us: If you have a canoe, kayak, paddleboat, ding...

Lawnmower on this side of the pond?

We're in the market for a high-tech grass cutting implement of some kind, preferably one with a smooth-running, easy starting motor and four wheels that may or may not turn under their own power. We are about to order a Honda self-propelled mower, but I thought we'd check if anyone out there has a n...

Treasure chest needed

The BIDL will be conducting a summer reading program for the kids and needs a treasure chest or something similar about 18" x 10" x10" in which to place the prizes for the kids who read this summer. Nothing really big, but yet not small either.... in other words....just right. Dimensi...

From Rach: When somebody smiles that great big smile from ear to ear, even if you don't want to smile, you feel it in your heart. When a laugh is hearty, you know it's from a person with a sense of humor, and many stories to tell. When you know a prankster, sure you know annoyance, but go back to th...

Thanks!

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Mark! Pat, any equipment you aren't using would be welcome, as would your recipe and expertise. Pirate, I'll stay out of rum business, and maybe we could even split the cost of shipping product to the mainland under cover of darkness on the same Virgin Islands regi...

I don't know anything else about the organization, but if anyone is interested in looking into them, their contact info is below. P.O. Box 130 Westfield, NY 14787 infelw...
