Must be up the Bay Area, then. I've been by the static display in the Antelope Valley. Or did you do a "Naruto run" past the guards at Area 51?

My Dad's house with San Francisco and the Golden Gate bridge way way back in the distance. Purchased in 1958 for $18K.

Most of the fellas here ignore my sophomoric sense of humor.
I’m pretty sure they don’t want to encourage me.

Garsh. Papaswrench posted a fine piece of photography that only I commented on, then I followed with my little group, came back and it's the next page gone back to discussion on the plane so far, burying the rest of this page with these posts I missed. I assumed I made the last post on the page, which often few to none catch once the new page comes on. Time to catch up with the past:

I couldn't say on that. It is a fine sailing vessel. There are a few impressive sail boats as well as cabin cruisers. What you see is what I see from the point this 1915 Sears cedar cottage/cabin kit perched on an ancient 18' sand dune was built on. There is an osprey nest at deck level on the river side. The Chesapeake Bay is just to the south, which is where the US Naval Academy is located on the bay.

I only have this other picture on the 'puter right now. I'll get one looking out across the river and other boats in the cove.

To the left from their dock on the shore facing the river. Around the front side of the point. That's the corner of their dingy you see that they use to get to their moored boats

So fine a location south of "The City", as I recall it being called when I spent time up the north coast. I could see my old baby blue '63 Riviera parked in the drive of the "modern" home

I should have commented, at least, that I appreciated your humor. The thread I posted named "I spent the day with a stripper" came to mind immediately. It somehow amazingly went through w/o any overboard comments. No trouble.

You have a filthy mouth! Always cracks me up that we can't type the town's name. At-water sounds so pleasant and pure but it has a t-w-a-t in the middle

Castle does have one. They have a good air museum, just to darn hot this time of the year.

Yep. Here it is at Christmas. Marchfield looks cool!

I worked at Lockheed in '92 for a short time. U2, (believe it not, they were used even then, over Korea), F117A, and the YF-22 proposal/development.

I was thinking about when that little house was maybe built ,,and would give it a shot a 30ies or 40ies (just a guess mind ya)

And so I looked up terra cotta when first used and got this ::: Terracotta was first produced around 1400 BC in Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley,

On the west coast of Oregon where I worked on a many a house ,, there was never not terracotta .. so does it wear out Tim ?

[special-K]

It doesn't really wear out. I supposed some tiles could erode if the outer glaze got chipped. I'd say your guess is a good one. I'm pretty sure it's not from the 1300s . I have seen very few Spanish influence houses like that in MD. I can think of three and I don't think the other two had full terra cotta roofs. It seems some gas stations used them way back when. I think of Santa Barbara when I think of terra cotta in the USA. It's a building code in at least a certain area, even the telephone booths had it when I was there in the '70s

[Ol Blue K20]

Phone booths? What's that.........lol
