IN MY ROOM
It was a classic song for Brian Wilson &
his Beach Boys. But this "in my room" is where I put all this stuff
together. It usually looks like the wreck of the Hesperus with
boxes of papers & stuff, but I do have a lot of old momentos
and now new old momentos surrounding me and giving off inspiration.
I thought I'd give the regular readers & cheerleaders of the
this site a looksee into my think tank.
The Blank Page!
Well not exactly .... my screensaver
is a view south on Carmens River from Squassocks Landing to the
Bay . The Manor Of St George is on the far left point. I'm thinking
of changing it to one taken at Dodi's Dock.
Dodi Knapp's Dock & His Other Stuff
Is Not Far Away. I Just look up and there he is !
That's an actual piece of his bulkhead
in Mastic Beach, that I've had for several years. The dock was
probably built in the 1920's and you can STILL SMELL TRACES OF
CREOSOTE! The Storm King was moored there in 1932. "Miss
Demure" , his Sea Sled speedboat, probably with her. The
piece of coal was what Dock Road was paved with, as was the road
that led to his house. It is now called Ramshorn Road but it had
another name in the early '50's that no one seems to be able to
recall.
