Bloomie would only like you to believe he lives in NYC. I have it from reliable sources that his true residence makes him a western Massachusetts hillbilly :wink:

Cheers,
David

Basically...well, yeah...except Bloomie doesn't dress as nicely and he has fewer teeth.

Cheers,
David

P.S. Here is Bloomie's wedding photo with his lovely wife, Daisy-Bob and faithful dog Foamy. Note the ancestral trailer in the background.

And what a wedding cake!

Loved and thought himself beloved,
From a glad kindness cannot take his eyes.

New York... Massachussetts... somewhere in the Blue States... we're pretty sure of that. I ain't ever been to New York or Massachussetts, but I hear it's real pretty country.

All kidding aside, as I've said before (not on this thread) Bloomie's home is in one of the most beautiful hill towns in Franklin County (MA). I grew up in the next town over (which ain't half bad itself).

David

New York isn't boring like suburban Maryland, that's for sure. I'd like more opportunities to hang out there, really. Sooner or later I'd learn to stop talking to the uncharacteristically friendly types who invariably tag me as a non-resident (even though I'm wearing a black coat,) and hit me up for a handout.
Last time, we ate at a cool place called Pomaire, which is supposedly the only Chilean restaurant in NYC. Very good.

What is it with Rottweilers and house trailers? I never met a Rottweiler until I went into the trailer business.

Y'all may know, I still buy and renovate (actually, my handyman does most of the renovating now that I'm a big player in the penny whistle industry) used mobile homes. I sometimes pick up old house trailers that have been repo'd or evicted from a trailer park somewhere. It seems that there are three things that are almost standard equipment with mobile homes:

1. The frame of at least one water bed.

2. A non-functioning console television (probably was used as a stand for a portable television, which would not have been left in the trailer since a portable television would be light enough to carry out).

3. Rottweilers. I've never found one in a vacant house trailer, but I've encountered more of them than I can count in and around occupied mobile homes. The guy who hauls and sets up mobile homes for me has a 200 pound (not a typo) Rottweiler named Duke. If Duke sits on your foot, you can't leave until he decides to move.

Best wishes,
Jerry

I haven't been to any New England states yet. Every time we decide to take a driving vacation we go south. Last time we were set on doing a New England trip but then ended up in Georgia.

I knew I shoulda taken that left turn at Albuquerque.

I'd like to take your word for it Izz, really I would, but there's no way round it. A photo is required for comparative purposes.
