Isles of Shoals – Star Island

The Isles of Shoals are a group of small islands approximately ten miles off the Atlantic cost, split between the boundary lines of Maine and New Hampshire.  The islands used to be seasonal fishing camps used by Native Americans before being settled by European explorers in the early 1600s.  I took a boat out to the second largest land mass, Star Island, and toured 46 acre religious and conference center that it is today.

Air Show: Part I; Portsmouth, NH

I’m still incredibly back-logged on pictures so I’m going to separate the air-show into a separate posts while I try to get caught-up.  Try to guess the theme of the first installment…

Blue Angels Practice; Portsmouth, NH

Still trying to get better but was completely unable to sleep Thursday thanks to the constant roar of F/A-18s flying over my house while the Blue Angels practiced at a nearby airfield.  Took a back-road to a field overlooking their runway which put me directly beneath them the whole time.

New Rule…

New Rule: IQ tests are required for anyone trying to purchase spray-paint.

$1000 Reward for the Return of Santa Claus

…Well, good thinking.  It’s also going to cost you another $1,000 when it dawns on you that you just spray-painted every surface of your truck in a rainbow of colors.  Any local kids who miss the “20 foot” part of that are also balling their eyes out when they see the local rednecks are gunning for their Santa Claus again.

The only thing that would make this better is if this isn’t that guy’s truck to begin with, and next week there is another vehicle parked next to it reading, “$1000 reward for the arrest & conviction of the @$$hole who spray-painted my truck.”
