Very nice, Russ.

One thought I had: If you take this again at night (if there are suitable lights around,) it might pass for a BobDavid.   ;)

Thanks, Eric. I thought of Duchamp when I passed the place this morning and decided that it could take a place equivalent to "fountain" in my repertoire.

One for men, and another for the boys?

Lovely light.

Well done. That's Florida. Florida is a strange state.

True that. ...I lived in Boston for 21 years, and I can barely imagine being subjected to two nor'easters within a week or two.

Yes, during big storms we frequently have power failures, and a few times have had big branches from a tree in our back yard come down and take out our power lines. So I was expecting something similar in this big storm (with 93 mph winds not too far away), but our lights never even flickered, and we only had a few small twigs come down.

So we lucked out this time, unlike many others even in Newton, and especially along the coast, where the floods haven't subsided in time for tonight's big storm.

I think Massachusetts is now down to less than 80,000 without power, after a peak of 200,000 right after the big one.
