just screwing around

I have managed to leave the endless mountains- it wasn’t simple- for the 1^st time not in a city that I wanted a GPS- the Gil positioning system was failing for some unknown reason- maybe it was the gram pie- never heard of this pie before- which is why it was selected- but there is no need to repeat previous mistakes…

 

Endless is a rich place= Old money as the locals call it and a hospital which was actually just a house at some point- the fall is threatening to break- most trees are green but some are yellow or red – and my favorite season is approaching- to bad its always the shortest one.

 

This was my 1^st solo install- and I was not nervous for a second- which is surprising to me- I assumed I would be- and today was my 1^st solo sales demo- since someone was sick-and I was calm- must be the air. The last part of the install – I had to crate the old carts and ship them back- not an issue with a drill – which I had- so I was drilling and dentists from all over came asking what is that noise- and then the drill decided to take a break- it lacked electricity powder. The person who screwed these crates did a thorough job- lots of screws and lots of time to screw and screw- note to self- when you are told to take a spare battery- listen!, than again I never listen… so this will happen again

I was bonding with the staff- had a discussion with a holistic nurse about doctors giving to many medications- she wanted to recommend acupuncture – I saved my comments to myself.

And a discussion with the local pharmacist which is Lebanese- so we had a short political discussion where we both agreed to get rid of all governments for the good of all mankind.

  

At endless I didn’t see the famous fat fingered nurses- they must have retired – and I spent a night at an amazing bed and breakfast –the breakfast was simple- cereal but the house!- 19^th century Victorian house- and every corner and room are full of taste- I have photos from my phone- forgot my camera….but had a great lasagna(best so far in the US)

I was in the purple room – named for it’s purple walls- not original I agree but a nice bed. So I left the endless mountains and moved to Carthage, new York- a spit away from Canada- and after my demo- I went to view the surrounding- you may recall seeing a junk mail about an area with 1000 islands- each with a big house between lakes….this is where I am right now- on the US Canada border overlooking 3…7 of the 1000 islands- some are very small so I don’t know how they count… there is a photographer here- sitting and waiting for the “right” time to click- I don’t have that patience- so I got some quick photos and sat down.

 

Today is 9/11 and the TV and radio shows ceremonies all day- but the street appear indifferent- no flags are posted on houses, or cars- the streets are empty- there is a small dog show behind me- just another day.

 

I think I saw my 1^st possum- it was on the road- but surprisingly alive- I seen lots of new animals in a less active mode- so it’s good to see one making it.

 

Sun is coming down- the photographer is focusing on something unclear- I am 3 minutes away from the border but I am not going through- you may guess that I don’t have my passport- that will be a good guess normally but not today- the days of the quick check are over- now I am in the experiencing mode- under a day is not enough for any normal area- but I will find the time.

 

Have you ever seen a town made from water?- neither have I, but I am staying in Watertown ,ny- and that is a normal city-not even on a lake!!!-bunch of lying town founding fathers

 

It’s time to go (mosquitoes…)

 

Enjoy the photos (sorry for the phone quality)

 

p.s does anybody know if the sauce comes from here?
