Things look different around here . . . I am in Atlanta, about to store the Lexus. Drove past a real "sh*t you not" moment yesterday.

You know what the name of the street was? I sh*t you not . . . . Cash Court.

Colin is right, there is alot of history and ambiance in Pensacola. Plus, it is a helluva lot drier than anywhere in the PNW. In the meantime, Hurricane season starts in 11 days until the end of November. So Colin, when you wind your way back here in October, remember it aint over 'til it's over. Safe travels.
P.S. I should have worn a bow tie. And yes, one that you have to tie. Geez!

That is a great house, I love Pensacola, home to one of the best beaches and old fort Pickens, where I have camped many a time.
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue, I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace. Where never lark, or even eagle flew. And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod, The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

Bow ties! Now we're talkin'! That's the only tie I wear, whether for welding work, or valve adjustments on a cool day. Good place to buy them is from a guy who used to work at Brooks Brothers, but thought that the bow tie market could be better served. Kirk Hinckley and his wife Corinne Hsu make their own designs, and create a fantastic product. Yes, you tie them yourself. If anyone wants to learn how, I can show you easily...just drop me a PM.

. . . that is quite the bow tie.
The last time I wore a bow tie was my graduation from kindergarten.
