What hiatus? <br />
Oh, you mean for like the last 3 years? Has it really been that long? WOW. <br />
Guess I have a lot of catching you people up to. Where did I leave off? November 2nd, 2010? <br />
Oh boy, guess I'm going to have to do a bit of research into all that has happened from then until now. <br />
From then until now... <br />
Until I can get all the facts together, in the meantime you can look at this photo, it was the last photo I took of the Island before moving off the Island. That Winter I went to Florida, and then I came back to the Island in May, and then... <br />
But all that will have to wait until I get things together. <br />
See you soon.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1VqjAboqhVKo-Le-T6SeEreDQRMwAn66mswlnYFX16hILFnBF4mzykJ22h72V80Lg2O0b2V7ZHaDLMxDtAcdPzRTY5KGvzCGP2LOU2kstPvdZJOTHZtUxHG-iGD6CPgJyEZ-te-YJ1cGA/s640/2010-12-04+12+24+Bspt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1VqjAboqhVKo-Le-T6SeEreDQRMwAn66mswlnYFX16hILFnBF4mzykJ22h72V80Lg2O0b2V7ZHaDLMxDtAcdPzRTY5KGvzCGP2LOU2kstPvdZJOTHZtUxHG-iGD6CPgJyEZ-te-YJ1cGA/s640/2010-12-04+12+24+Bspt.jpg" /></a></div><br />

As you read this, no Pakistani citizen has any rights. Their president has suspended their Constitution. <br /><br />Now I know that those of you who don't vote have a variety of reasons not to, (your vote doesn't matter, you don't care, you don't know how, what's one voice?, etc.).<br /><br />Imagine this: George Bush suspends our Constitution, in this day and age, I can't say it is all that unlikely. <br /><br />When you don't vote, you lose the most important right there is, the right to voice your opinion. For those of you who don't vote, you obviously don't care about this, but for those of us who do vote, we care a hell of a lot--WE NEED YOU TO VOTE.<br /><br />One of our Nation's greatest problems is low Voter turn out. The message that this sends to our elected officials is: "so few citizens care, so we, the politicians, can do whatever we want, the general public doesn't pay attention"--this is the seed of corruption.<br /><br />Many of you who don't vote probably don't do so because you are displeased, if not disgusted, with all the candidates regardless of party affiliation.<br /><br />The Caretaker understands this and can appreciate it greatly.<br />But imagine this: 100% of the population turns out to vote, all those who have voted in the past continue to vote as they usually do, if we are lucky, this makes up a little less than 50% of the population. These days, that works out to be about 25% vote Democratic, the other 25% vote Republican, that leaves the other 50%--those of you who don't vote. What we the Voters need from you the nonvoters is to show up to the polls and vote for anybody BUT the candidates.<br /><br />I can think of no better message to our politicians than the one that only you nonvoters can send: "We are unhappy with the whole lot of you and we're letting you know, by voting but voting for non of you--you better start working for us the People and not yourselves, lobbyists, corporate interests, etc."<br /><br />The Caretaker doesn't care who you vote for, vote for yourself, vote for a cartoon character, vote "Non-of-the-Above". JUST GO VOTE.<br /><br />On the other hand, if you want, vote for me, vote for "The Caretaker".<br />The Caretaker will be running for President next year so you might as well start practicing now.<br />Vote "The Caretaker" as a write-in-candidate for any and all positions that are up for election in your town, county, and state. <br /><br />Don't know how to vote a write-in, ask your poll worker, they will tell you how. Don't know where your polling station is, best thing you can do is at least spend this election day finding it and finding out if you are registered, this way you will know where it is for next year and you can be registered for next year's election.<br /><br />The Caretaker will be providing his platform as to why you should vote for him for President in a few weeks or so.<br /><br />Enjoy the rest of your Monday, and tomorrow, have a Happy Election day.<br /><br />--The Caretaker<div class="blogger-post-footer">Not getting the full experience?

I apologize for having to be so brief.<br /><br />Attached to this e-mail is my camera's last photo. (The one just above this text.) On Friday while trying to get on to Sloop Island to check a perspective I dropped my camera into the Lake. The power was on and so it shorted out. If all goes well I will have a replacement in about a week or two. Until then I have about three weeks of photos in the pipeline so you need not worry about the photos for the IR.<br /><br />Funny the wants of Fortuna.<br /><br />Anyway, I would like to apologize to all of you who have e-mailed about either the framer catastrophe and/or anything else, sorry I have not responded but it has been quite a bit of a scramble. Between dealing with the framer, taking a photoshop course, beginning my research on a replacement camera, meeting my current obligations for photo card orders, etc. I have been rather busy. <br /><br />I will respond to you all soon, but I would like to take the time now to thank you for your concern.<br /><br />--The Caretaker<div class="blogger-post-footer">Not getting the full experience?

The sound under foot speaks of warmth, the colors (currently a mix of browns, oranges, tans, yellows, and reds), are a randomly dispersed collage that once painted the trees but now brighten the ground. Collect enough of these dry leaves, crunch them up in your hands, and an aroma is released that speaks of all the seasons, but the early waning of the year this odor sings the most.

He was indeed a good dog of a gentle disposition who for the most part just wanted to be pet. It's true that in his later years he developed a strong affection for trash cans and recycling cans which was somewhat annoying, but when caught having his way with these vessels you knew that he knew that you knew that he knew what he was doing was wrong because he would scamper off as quickly as possible. However, as time wore on Hunter then came to realize that it didn't really matter that we knew that he knew what he was doing was wrong and when caught he would vacate the area with little to no effort displaying an attitude of "So?"<br />You have to respect that.<br /><br />He was a mostly pleasant dog, rare to bark, quite steady in disposition, you never worried about leaving him with children, and he was a good hunter, or so the Caretaker has been told. His last few months were perhaps physically trying but he always maintained a rather chipper attitude, always on the look-out for some overlooked scrap of food. He certainly liked to eat, and don't we all. Hunter will most definitely be missed, but he's in a better place now, a place where the trash cans are low to the ground and have no lids. <br />Some photos of Hunter from Autumn 2009:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyJuKmCAM87r7UutwzI37Y2Fb5r6QV_2oW7igzWzyP9YLT3JoEkrnvYyKCz78RU2fDRCOexoWTQWeLxP3YbfFZl6SUNxcQsAhYX3AAPfSu_qciQE2WkiBE8WHVLZfJbDFsmGuq3t6LgLnm/s1600/P1110123.jpg"><img style="display:block;

So, since he has managed to get on-line today, he has decided to just send out all of this week's photos in one shot. <br /><br />Hopefully you will see something you enjoy.<br />If all goes well, which is not likely, the Caretaker will be able get this all sorted out by next week.<br /><br />In the meantime the Caretaker would also like to take this time apologize to all of you who have e-mailed, he would like to respond to your e-mails but his "internets" goes so excruciatingly slow that he could mail you a letter in less time. Well, come to think of it, maybe not a letter but a postcard, hm...<br /><br />Have a good rest of the week.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuJQrijFDy7D0FQx1ioaOlNp5lBvmK0D35oz8oGajMk54w6jRS5HaL5Prw4b-0cB_0SyJjaHJsguge-buj-iC-c0iWE9hLglcNKt-2-6CtJci-YiNyaOYRcUYmXAEqzDQSeCANDHCjcJCS/s1600/DSC01008Copy2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuJQrijFDy7D0FQx1ioaOlNp5lBvmK0D35oz8oGajMk54w6jRS5HaL5Prw4b-0cB_0SyJjaHJsguge-buj-iC-c0iWE9hLglcNKt-2-6CtJci-YiNyaOYRcUYmXAEqzDQSeCANDHCjcJCS/s400/DSC01008Copy2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527322243736609234" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjECmvU_RABG49A41ldfMq6ty0y0DN5c7czAPYNwjC9LYB1zR37CY-p_SD5jyuupc3J__cjuprFuLOPhHDjqAAHuSHJh393O3OJxBCaczaLsNHPVaDJniafagqR7oUYrAmIaTrOCuc39mgk/s1600/DSC06761.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjECmvU_RABG49A41ldfMq6ty0y0DN5c7czAPYNwjC9LYB1zR37CY-p_SD5jyuupc3J__cjuprFuLOPhHDjqAAHuSHJh393O3OJxBCaczaLsNHPVaDJniafagqR7oUYrAmIaTrOCuc39mgk/s400/DSC06761.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527322239480100258" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRu7CfD7Xjmx0ZcTSgtOf1WeYykeluoztF2Ii2OVzwOfyepY0qKQln5Zzx4VLAeHPNwKL54a9am8gnAKyPOk9KD8KVWyLag-TLveMZrXypKY2lzliZ_oM-ODr2AHYaA8DDIsEQ8wtsAVqE/s1600/DSC09572.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRu7CfD7Xjmx0ZcTSgtOf1WeYykeluoztF2Ii2OVzwOfyepY0qKQln5Zzx4VLAeHPNwKL54a9am8gnAKyPOk9KD8KVWyLag-TLveMZrXypKY2lzliZ_oM-ODr2AHYaA8DDIsEQ8wtsAVqE/s400/DSC09572.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527322235630390626" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix7WSi5X1jJML5lyVQz55VlwLNHRhdcSbO3VV6qZbwGD1zf20NAi_30sTvOg4vyjN7wUUjAurt_a9kWBYK-fy9FaKknsIlREEgIOczcGXdHPyTAQmBPRTR54geEhCq8cc8F6gF5VSFCG-w/s1600/DSC09725.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix7WSi5X1jJML5lyVQz55VlwLNHRhdcSbO3VV6qZbwGD1zf20NAi_30sTvOg4vyjN7wUUjAurt_a9kWBYK-fy9FaKknsIlREEgIOczcGXdHPyTAQmBPRTR54geEhCq8cc8F6gF5VSFCG-w/s400/DSC09725.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527322231991875250" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA7bR9fqIO_NyCsD2QTuFfXth5vFVkwEQjdoHnwmgukfjS6T9V8CuELyf3_lLMsmjNun_VlLHaQ60Mj-YeMNC3hgb1A9-VeX3yvoHETinbd4PDby8KInMb1Tbsh4_vSalgIJ9rKgRopAqT/s1600/DSC09982.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA7bR9fqIO_NyCsD2QTuFfXth5vFVkwEQjdoHnwmgukfjS6T9V8CuELyf3_lLMsmjNun_VlLHaQ60Mj-YeMNC3hgb1A9-VeX3yvoHETinbd4PDby8KInMb1Tbsh4_vSalgIJ9rKgRopAqT/s400/DSC09982.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527322229911573826" /></a><br />--The Caretaker<div class="blogger-post-footer">Not getting the full experience?

The first album by the band is titled:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/beccastevens">Tea Bye Sea</a><br /><br />The follow up album is due out in February, to see video of the band playing songs from the first album and songs from the yet to be released second album go to <a href="http://www.youtube.com">YouTube</a> and search: Becca Stevens Band.<br /><br />If the Caretaker were to write a review of the Becca Stevens Band album, "Tea Bye Sea", this is what he would write:<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">If this album were a book it would be considered great literature, very high up in the cannon of great music. Like great literature, when you give a little of yourself to the work, you get tenfold and more in return. And, just like great literature, you can return to the work again and again and always get something new out of the experience. If my CD of Tea By Sea were an actual record it would have long since been rendered audioless by the needle of the record player from the countless playings. A collection of songs that entices you to drop what you're doing and just sit and listen time and time again.</span><br /><br />The following are some links for the band:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.beccastevensband.com/index.php">Becca Stevens Band website.<br /></a><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/beccastevens">Becca Stevens Band MySpace page.</a><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=34604996&ref=ts#!/pages/Becca-Stevens-Band/108452349211248"><br />Becca Stevens Band Facebook page.</a><br /><br />Chances are the Caretaker will not be posting anything for the 7th of October, he will be down in Mattatuck, CT at the Mattatuck Museum taking in a performance by <a href="http://www.laurensevian.com/live/">Lauren Sevian</a> and her "Eb Quartet". The Caretaker expects it to be a most enjoyable performance. Since the Caretaker is down that way he will also be stopping in at the area Penzy's store to stock up on herbs and spices. His plan is to return late Thursday night, Friday is supposed to be a sunny day and there is much the Caretaker has not been able to do due to all the rain. The clear sunny weather during the coming days is much anticipated, however, the nights are supposed to be clear too which means it will be cold, as of right now the forecast calls for it getting down to 35 degrees F. for the nights this weekend--what fun! Anyway, if there is time, the Caretaker will try and get a post out sometime on Friday, however, between what he would like to get done and the fact that his internet connection has become insufferably slow of late, he may not post again until Sunday or Monday.<br /><br />Before there was the blog the Caretaker sent out posts via e-mail, the following is from the Caretaker's second year of living year round on the Island:<br /><br />IR 8/30/07:<br /><br />No report, just photos. The first photo is from the winter, perhaps it will help you keep cool. The second photo is from this past Monday night's moonlight "photo shoot".<br /><br />Eat your Thursday sandwich--it'll get you ready for Friday.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0JvddYP9n0scM0xW8ljOwQfEvHcI6mg0TyHWVeYv-oioGwfK7hg9Nhtaf7oAXGjzDTH95jyfUCKhxI5HdOoMPtAgtsmZOGzaY-d_qhO4SmcXBjKNiYhAy6gxcs5MtVahmTD9a9B-qxquV/s1600/DSC06708.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0JvddYP9n0scM0xW8ljOwQfEvHcI6mg0TyHWVeYv-oioGwfK7hg9Nhtaf7oAXGjzDTH95jyfUCKhxI5HdOoMPtAgtsmZOGzaY-d_qhO4SmcXBjKNiYhAy6gxcs5MtVahmTD9a9B-qxquV/s400/DSC06708.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524997012077058434" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_aZzVNVt_JES9FLf_5GXA8BNFXWlLXv-XT9GG0uEzVkqx9Den8WOmv8cbglmmfMOZwmXEDe2xnWXgnygqzIADL5qCJdVVa_dqDD_Ra_d9szq3-eC-vnqKNZvRJejAs_n4igRh47UYhaN1/s1600/DSC00860+copy.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_aZzVNVt_JES9FLf_5GXA8BNFXWlLXv-XT9GG0uEzVkqx9Den8WOmv8cbglmmfMOZwmXEDe2xnWXgnygqzIADL5qCJdVVa_dqDD_Ra_d9szq3-eC-vnqKNZvRJejAs_n4igRh47UYhaN1/s400/DSC00860+copy.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524997009366327666" /></a><br />--The Caretaker<div class="blogger-post-footer">Not getting the full experience?

He was all set to go this past Friday morning when he decided to have a late morning Stinger on the rocks (a new favorite drink of his) before taking the boat over to the mainland. Standing at the bar having just finished shaking his libation and taking a sip while looking out the window he noticed that there was something funny about the sailboat as it bobbed sluggishly at its mooring in the small cove on the West side of the Island.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">That's funny... Oh crud, it's sinking.<br /></span><br />So, instead of relaxing for a short while with his drink before departing he instead went out to the South dock to asses the situation. Turns out the sail boat had taken on a lot of water due to the excessively heavy rains from the past few days and especially the deluge of the night that poured all night long and into this same morning. The sail boat has no caps on the centerboard closet so once the water breached the holes water began to fill the sailboat directly from the lake. This the Caretaker figured out once he got out to the sailboat to begin bailing it out, but before he could do that he had to bailout the tin boat, which came as no surprise to the Caretaker because due to a leaky hull the tin boat is perpetually sinking. The flotation in the seats is what keeps it from fully submerging, however, this time around was the lowest the Caretaker had seen it in the water. Usually the Caretaker bails the tin boat out with a five gallon bucket, it being the quickest way, but the boat was so low in the water that he feared sinking it if he got in to bail the water, instead he dropped the sump pump in and pumped the water out which took quite a while but it gave him an excuse to go back to his drink and take in the cloudy morning sky.<br /><br />Now that the tin boat was pumped out the Caretaker hopped into it and pushed himself over to the sailboat, tied the boats together and then got in the sailboat to start bailing water. After much effort in rapid motion the Caretaker was able to lower the water level in the sail boat to just below the top of the centerboard closet access holes when he noticed that water began pouring out of the holes.<br /><span style="font-style:italic;"><br />Uh-oh, that's not good. Should probably replace the caps so this doesn't happen again.</span><br /><br />So the Caretaker began to bail faster as more and more water poured out, eventually he was able to bail enough water out to get the water level below the bottom of the access holes, eventually water stopped pouring out of the holes and eventually the Caretaker was able to bail out nearly all of the water from the sailboat. <br /><br />Due to all the rain the lake level was quite high, about 4 inches below flood stage. After returning to the South dock in the tin boat it occurred to the Caretaker that due to runoff from the mountains there is a chance that the Lake could reach flood stage which would be bad for the Caretaker's possessions stored in the boathouse below the stairs which is the lowest point on the Island and the first to get flooded out when the water gets high. So, the Caretaker decided it would be best to haul all that gear out and get it to higher ground. To make a boring story short by the time the Caretaker had finished with all of this he needed to take another shower and by the time he finished with that there wasn't really any reason to go to NYC for Friday night because given his very late start he would have totally missed what he was going to see, maybe caught the last few songs at best. Not to mention he got a phone call regarding something that would need his attention the Sunday of that weekend, so, the Caretaker canceled his trip to NYC. On Saturday morning, it turned out, his services were needed elsewhere, so, for the most part the Caretaker was off Island for most of the weekend but it wasn't doing what he had originally planned. Which in many ways bummed the Caretaker out because his plan was to see the Becca Stevens Band in its entirety perform (i.e. every band member present) which is something he has yet to do.<br />Thankfully it looks like the Caretaker will still get the chance to see the full band play before he moves to Florida for the next few months, apparently they have a gig on the 29th at The Jazz Gallery which is somewhere in NYC. The Caretaker will definitely not be missing this show, come heck or high water, as they say. <br /><br />Before there was the blog the Caretaker sent out posts via e-mail, the following is from the Caretaker's second year of living year round on the Island:<br /><br />IR 8/28/07:<br /><br />No report, just this photo of light on water:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFh_G0JAy6BXNTpUYM2PrxwvFUNgFG7PX5_5DGDOz7OMMshp5U89cLPDT-wlt3hLsPSh-qWnrcCXLgwEiBDkA391Xas2-gsqpZrz8KoqwNbHYu2oe0SrLfPzXbThn2IpAesr2boC18i30y/s1600/DSC00039.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFh_G0JAy6BXNTpUYM2PrxwvFUNgFG7PX5_5DGDOz7OMMshp5U89cLPDT-wlt3hLsPSh-qWnrcCXLgwEiBDkA391Xas2-gsqpZrz8KoqwNbHYu2oe0SrLfPzXbThn2IpAesr2boC18i30y/s400/DSC00039.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524722794738847586" /></a><br />Photo doubled over and rotated:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh72RtFmtDXhgF5zZODO9iIX7emigC3BMaDCusIZ-0B8hDakYZ5bGkRdzW_unnW315bGNJpFSGjLz01ggCAk325cDN42cKH06_zB7Ay_phDhimr4mZX05vvEbQONwMLVVHJx-_vDq-Zyl1_/s1600/DSC00039+copy.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh72RtFmtDXhgF5zZODO9iIX7emigC3BMaDCusIZ-0B8hDakYZ5bGkRdzW_unnW315bGNJpFSGjLz01ggCAk325cDN42cKH06_zB7Ay_phDhimr4mZX05vvEbQONwMLVVHJx-_vDq-Zyl1_/s400/DSC00039+copy.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524722793022739250" /></a><br />--The Caretaker<div class="blogger-post-footer">Not getting the full experience?

The Caretaker has put a sweater on for the first time in an awfully long while. This morning, when he woke up, the outside temperature was 50 degrees, the inside temperature was the same. It's looking like the Caretaker is going to have to start breaking out his winter gear. By tomorrow morning the temperature on the mainland is supposed to get down to 38 degrees, that's only 6 degrees above freezing. Since the Lake is still relatively warm it probably won't get down much below 50 by this coming morning here on the Island. However, it still makes for a cool start to the day and when the wind is blowing from the North, a chilly breeze in the outdoor shower. Anyway, the following photo was taken this evening at sundown:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitIrYI3wbAMVT6N8sx91-N38z8TnTqmWpdgjijzYUKRMvGwvQnjJ8Wlo3zPOK3FRQJdnp5NXfAT0jjK5WdiTsr5XHYm8unkLsEaLqaMUsWEKulrcAu1-E1jUQfiWiNBZUIp7y7dogWZyUY/s1600/P1150702.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Unfortunately Microsoft has decided that it would be a good idea to reconfigure Hotmail in such a way that it is basically useless. As it stands, The Caretaker can not send e-mail from his contact lists. Yes the Caretaker could install Microsoft's latest browser, but the Caretaker doesn't use Microsoft's browser and sees no reason why he should start now. <br /><br />So, because Microsoft decided to pull a Sony, the Caretaker has switched all his contacts over to a Yahoo account. Please note the Caretaker will be letting his Hotmail account go defunct. As far as the Caretaker is concerned, not only is Hotmail and Microsoft dead to him, but so too Mr. Gates.<br /><br />Also, the Caretaker is currently running into glitches with Yahoo, oh, and something is up with the local server, the Caretaker's internet connection is about three to four times slower then usual. So, if the speed doesn't improve, there probably won't be any more IR's.<br /><br />Other than that, nothing much to report.<br />And so without further distraction, today's photo:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh52NefWedRkN35WRs8cy9aRf_QX7ffoXix415Oh07tH0E6dDa5xHsUaV9N4EhVSO_3rqDVyxD2MIe4DgNtI98fg5YHywyayTbR0Cjj2xzufJXo2fT9FoyGYRkKrXGhwP58eKZlKh8lAbck/s1600/DSC09653.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh52NefWedRkN35WRs8cy9aRf_QX7ffoXix415Oh07tH0E6dDa5xHsUaV9N4EhVSO_3rqDVyxD2MIe4DgNtI98fg5YHywyayTbR0Cjj2xzufJXo2fT9FoyGYRkKrXGhwP58eKZlKh8lAbck/s400/DSC09653.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523970451245009026" /></a><br />--The Caretaker<div class="blogger-post-footer">Not getting the full experience?

Quite a good beginning for a memoir that's just waiting for completion.<br /><br />The Caretaker just figured out how to embed hyper-links in his blog, which means he is going to start promoting other artist's work much more aggressively, feel free to contact the Caretaker about your art with appropriate web-links for him to post to his blog.<br /><br />So... Speaking of books, a friend of the Caretaker's published a memoir about his experiences teaching in an inner-city high school in New Jersey.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mista/118562074834233">MISTA</a> by John J.

No. And no new photos, so...<br />More photos from the Fort Ticonderoga field trip, the following are views from Mt.

To be honest, when the Caretaker got to reading his e-mail yesterday, he couldn't for the life of him figure out what anyone was talking about. So he went back and looked at the photo again. Odd that. He never noticed the ghostly figures. Maybe there is something to the stories after all.<br /><br />In other news, the Caretaker picked up the second proof run of enlargements, he is rather pleased with them, pleased with them indeed.<br /><br />Today's photo is a variation from one sent out in the winter, this one is in "landscape", the one from the winter was in "portrait", then again it might be the exact same image, Caretaker can't remember, he only knows that this one was in the extra's folder. Either way, if nothing else perhaps by looking at it you won't feel so hot this first of August.<br /><br />And so in conclusion, from the guy who "taped lollipops to beer cans", got a "beating from his rescuers from the ice", AND had his image "stolen and put on t-shirts" he must first address a usage problem.<br /><br />There were no images of The Caretaker "naked" in yesterday's photo. The Caretaker was "nude". <br />Naked is unclothed and unprotected, vulnerable. <br />Nude is just unclothed. <br />When you spend your winters as the Caretaker does, no running water, etc. it is quite safe to say that when parading about on the Island on a warm summer night with no clothes on you are not "naked". Quite the contrary. In comparison to life on the Island in the winter, out and about on the Island in the summer with no clothes on is a "walk in the park", but I digress.<br /><br />The Caretaker would like to apologize for not being able to respond personally to everyone's e-mails and inquiries regarding this photo, but he will address all questions in this IR.<br /><br />The setting on the camera was just one of a rather long exposure time, some 15 to 25 seconds or so.<br /><br />No one else was on the Island but the Caretaker when this "photo" was taken.<br />The only person (or people) you see is(/are) the Caretaker(s).<br />Now, as to the sighting of E.T., that the Caretaker cannot explain.<br /><br />How the Caretaker did it: As stated in the IR with this photo, the Caretaker got the idea for this shot from the night before. If he finds the photo he will attach it along with this IR. Anyway, so he lit up the house and started taking photos with a very long exposure. After a few shots he thought, why not put himself in the photo, and so he hit the shutter button and ran into the shot and stood there while the camera took the shot. After seeing the results he got the idea of putting himself in a number of places in one photo. And so the Caretaker took a number of shots positioned in various places.<br />Why is the Caretaker nude in the photo? It's hot, it's summer, he's on an Island and there is no one else there, why wear clothes? As to being nude in the photo, why bother going to put on clothes? In the end, as far as "effect", having a ghostly appearance in the photo it seems to work rather well, if you were a ghost, why bother with clothes? You're a ghost, why bother with modesty?<br /><br />By using a tripod the Caretaker was able to take the exact same shot over and over again, then in Photoshop he used one photo for the background, and then cut and pasted himself from all the other photos, because the shot is exactly the same all the cutting and pasting lines up exactly. However, that is only if you use the same background shot as the rest of the photos. The first time the Caretaker did this, when he was finished he decided there wasn't enough Caretaker in the shot. Seeing that the right foreground was sort of empty he went back outside and took another photo. However, he managed to jostle the tripod and so it was knocked from the original location, not by much, but it did move. What does this mean? The Caretaker had to do a bit of moving and cutting to get everything to look in place. Although it required a little bit of effort, it was well worth it. The shot that was used for the background had much more moonlight in it than the others so it made for an even better shot. To illustrate the point the Caretaker will attach a photo from the first shooting.<br />I believe that should explain everything, the Caretaker apologizes for being so curt and direct on the subject but the time he alloted for today's IR was reduced by a distraction of Meh. He felt compelled to explain/explore a particular usage of Meh, but what can you do? You can't deny the Meh. The Caretaker might even put together "The Book of Meh--an explanation and exploration of all the many uses of Meh."<br />Caretaker's gotta go.<br />Meh.<br /><br />--The Caretaker<br /><br />P.S. The Caretaker's first thought as to putting himself in the photo was to do cartwheels. So if you were on the Island you would have seen the Caretaker doing cartwheels in front of the camera. It didn't work. When using light in a long exposure if something doesn't give off light it must remain still enough for the camera to capture the obstruction of light, at least I think that's how it goes. Whatever it is, that is why there is no ghostly image of the Caretaker doing nude cartwheels.<br />I think I do have Island Mind-Rot. Want some?<br />One last thing the Caretaker almost forgot, yes, he is that fat. Caretaker needs to get thinner, Caretaker needs to skip dinner.<br /><br />P.P.S. As far as the Caretaker knows, there is no such thing as a "Vampire Bee" but there could be, and the King's Garden is not run by vampires, but it could be.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Not getting the full experience?

While taking some shots last night another idea occurred to him and today's photo is what resulted. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXfk8n4ucblF4DKEC5xA-Sv-O3VV2hMZmAqMkmXmfbpLKKZ4CE5rVk2baeHsXTExebj1AY7_br21aCvtOMbaGxxwTbXK7XzG9uIwuYE4FtzF6zWiRar-PyT81dpGAKJ39-JiQwY4G1sFv-/s1600/No2DSC00206.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXfk8n4ucblF4DKEC5xA-Sv-O3VV2hMZmAqMkmXmfbpLKKZ4CE5rVk2baeHsXTExebj1AY7_br21aCvtOMbaGxxwTbXK7XzG9uIwuYE4FtzF6zWiRar-PyT81dpGAKJ39-JiQwY4G1sFv-/s400/No2DSC00206.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521950279188726994" /></a><br /><br />--The Caretaker<div class="blogger-post-footer">Not getting the full experience?
