Service with a Smile

After a great deal of work, the old dishwasher on the third floor of the great manse in Germantown was dismantled and taken out. It had served well for some time, but awhile back it just plain gave out. A dishwasher is hard for one person to lug down three flights of stairs until the door and motor are removed; then its a piece of cake.
Here in our part of the Quaker city we enjoy the free service of guys who take any sort of metal from the curb to recycling places, known formally as scrap yards. Those individuals are scrappers, and the do much more valuable work than rappers.
So here is the demised dishwasher-

 

 

And here is the scrapper, who took it away within sixty seconds of its arrival on the curb - you could not get better service anywhere on the planet, and its FREE!!

 

 





End of the World

I'll wager you did not know that the world's end was a place, not an event. We here in the Keystone State actually possess this place, within the bounds of World's End State Park in our very own Sullivan county (home also of the Lopez Winery, and of the Civil War era Fishing Creek Confederacy).
Its a fine and beautiful place, with a worthy camp ground which we inhabited over the July 4th weekend along the mighty Loyalsock creek.
Here is what the end of the world actually looks like-

 

 

That's the mighty Loyalsock down in the gorge.

 

This state park provides the visitor with considerable amenities, even in some pretty remote locations.

 

One, a fancy latrine, is near the vista from which the picture above was taken. One is cautioned to be careful not to abuse their comfort stations-
