Natural Deakinstruction!

and in the beginning, we took photos of this Lichen encrusted Gem of a chicken barn and used the photo for the header on the new website, then i fixed up another shed on the property i rent from some wacky Irish guys, so they said i could have this one!

. . . and then it rained! and rained, and i was out on my back deck standing in the pouring rain about midnight thirty, i do wacky things like that!

and i heard a creak and groan.

and oh what a sight she was, probably me too, running across the field buck naked to witness the fall, unfortunately, i did not have my camera with!

but here i am Barn Surfing on Super Bowl Sunday!

i LOVE CURVES!

MOVE YOUR MONEY

You'll be in good hands if you stay LOCAL!

There is a great website called Move Your Money about taking your money out of the hands of the wall streeters and putting it back in your community! you can go there by visiting http://moveyourmoney.info/

. . . . . and watch the great little video with references to our Hero, Jimmy Stewart as George Bailey against Big Box Bank Mr Potter! http://moveyourmoney.info/audiovideo, then just move your money to a local bank. It is really very easy, and it is the best way to send Wall St a message! You can also contact my favorite, Circle Bank at https://www.circlebank.com/ . . . and there are links and mentions on our Facebook Page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Petaluma-CA/Heritage-Salvage/182038488761
