Yeah, but knowing my luck, I'd probably land in New Jersey or Milton Keynes.

The lake with the trees looks lovely. Where is that?

That's Lake George, where I take the trolley-bus to, when I just want to hang out, watching the tourists and boats, and stuff.

I've just been reading up on Lake George, and I see there is a village called Ticonderoga there. I know that name from the Tom Waits song "Shore Leave":
"Well with buck shot eyes and a purple heart
I rolled down the national stroll
and with a big fat paycheck
strapped to my hip sack
and a shore leave wristwatch underneath
my sleeve
in a Hong Kong drizzle on Cuban heels
I rowed down the gutter to the Blood Bank
and I'd left all my papers on the Ticonderoga
and was in a bad need of a shave"
etc.
Brilliant song.

Ticonderoga is about 30 miles north of Lake George vilalge, on the opposide end of the lake. It's a nice, quaint town--also a mill town, as International Paper has a big mill there--they even have a Wal-Marts. Fort Ticonderoga is a National Landmark site, the restored Queen Anne's and Revolutionary War era fort on Lake Champlain, is a big draw for visitors.

Interesting, thanks.
Are you a Tom Waits fan?

Sorry, not familiar with him, unless they've played him on local radio, and I didn't know who was singing.

I was going to hop the bus and take a ride there tonight, but too late now, and I'm far to hot and tired to bother...maybe later on in the week. I just spent 30 dollars on laundry and the cab fare, so ice creams and crazy golf are not in the plan for a while, methinks.

I know where I'd rather be, too.
