There was a small incident on Sunday involving some broken pavement, my toe, and the sun, which was shining straight into my eyes. This unfortunate combo resulted in two very bruised knees, some scrapes on the heels of my hands, and a wee dent on one corner of my camera just at the bottom of the cover to the memory card. After my knees collided with the ground, my right hand must have then taken the rest of the impact or the camera would have been toast. So today on my lunch hour I took the camera out for a short walk around campus. All seems well, which is really, really good because I'm not too keen on the thought of buying a new camera at the moment, having just ordered a new pair of glasses that cost a bundle but will be well worth it if they help me to see where I'm walking. It would also help if I'd pick up my feet. See where this picture was taken. [?]

Leo Aloisi explains the process to visitors to the sugar house. They have a café next door, made of straw bales, where they serve pancakes and sell maple syrup. See where this picture was taken. [?]

Leo Aloisi's dad purchased the firebox in the 1950s. Leo burns pallets for fuel. The fire gets so hot that the only thing left of the pallets is the nails. See where this picture was taken. [?]

The evaporation trays are about 10 years old. It takes something like 40 gallons of sap to make one gallon of syrup. See where this picture was taken. [?]

The sugar house at Hanging Mountain Farms in Westhampton. First day of boiling, but they didn't have much sap yet, so it was only a slow boil. See where this picture was taken. [?]
