I sit at home in what is someday going to be the front livingroom (still no furniture); there are youth group papers, kids toys and homewook scattered about, along with a stack of outdoor adventure maps and some mending. Out the window there is lots of snow, but it is a very bright day and only -9*c.

Sitting in an office facing away from the window. The opposite building is Loreal's headquaters, the ladies are too much of a distraction.

While sitting on the bank in Galveston, waiting on the wind to die down, I see, on the bank:
1 milk crate remains of a plastic buoy a clorox jug a plastic jug remains of a wooden structure (usable timbers) lots of Sea Grass (thatchable material) scrub brush
What do you see from your vantage point? Snow.

at the office - walkers, joggers, dog walkers, skateboarders, bicycle riders, beach front houses, palm trees, blue skies, para-sailers, outbound and inbound surfers, ingoing and outgoing cargo ships taller than the surrounding buildings, and some crazy ground squirrel with a big bushy tail that's definitely in the wrong neighborhood - that's so far managed to evade the local cats.
