My stats have been off the charts again. 11,458 views in one day? People be bored.
And while Singapore was leading the pack for a while…

It seems I now have a veritable United Nations of viewers.

Clearly my nonsense has world wide appeal .

I’d say there’s something rotten in Denmark, but that’s the one country not on my list.

We passed this store the other day and I thought, damn…it doesn’t get much better than that. Two of my favorite things!

On a recent trip north I took a few pictures to share.

We were on the way to Rockland to shop at a light fixture store.

Over an hours drive past mountains and ice covered lakes…

Only to arrive and find it temporarily closed.
Oh well, an afternoon spent cruising around Maine is never wasted time.

And as far as I’m concerned? It beats ice fishing in a tent hands down.

Lovely photos!
People ice fish here too with those tents, and really I do not understand.

Most people have sturdy little shacks so I’m always surprised when I see a tent…

Here’s the lakes are small, and maybe frozen for less time? So tents only. The popular brand is the company that makes the tent we own, so I feel like I’m an expert. 😉

Sometimes it is based on local ordinance or dates. Long-term structures are not allowed on our lakes after set dates (to help avoid them sinking into the lake as the ice melts) but removable tent-types can go up for the day. And it can get cold sitting out in the wind with no shelter.

That red barn, like in the movies! Wow, so your still shopping around for light fixtures? Well I hope you find something for those holes in the walls where the sconces were. Ice fishing, what a pastime…lol.

I’m constrained by size. Most of the fixtures I like are too wide. Nothing is ever easy with this house…

Wow, ice fishing! I remember that and hockey from growing up in the Catskills! So many visitors!! Does it make you want to visit their country to find out more about why they are bored and follow WP? Stay warm.

Yes, lovely views indeed!
I know a lot of people who love to Fish, but I don’t know that they love to fish enough to freeze their tails off!
What a bummer about the lighting store!

Sitting on the ice and staring down at a hole isn’t my idea of a good time , but to each their own.

What is that outside Bread & Books? A snow-covered fire hydrant?

There is no world where I am ice fishing. My family has a long line of dedicated fishers, but they all plied their craft at much warmer temperatures and water than that. That being said, watching someone else do it in a winter wonderland setting would be just fine. I have no patience for fishing, unless I’m in a restaurant and then I’ll reel one in.😁
