  3. Part 3 of Fall Trip

    For a short time, I stopped at one park and just enjoyed the solitude and the warm sunshine, looking at this picnic shelter
    and of the cedar trees adjacent to it.

    Here was another neat building--being used as a community center for another little burg---both exterior and interior shots---once again--to get the interior photo--I shot through the window but this time there was no glare or reflection, so it looked like I was inside.

    Another type of old building I love that are largely disappearing--are old time barns----this one is a rare roundbarn---there were never that many in Ohio and of the few we had---most are gone now.

    Finally---a few more shots taken literally on the fly while driving---with one hand on the wheel--the other holding the camera and just hitting the shutter button---I did get some pretty good shots.

    I hope that you enjoyed this trip through southern Ohio with me!

  4. Part 2 of Fall Trip

    Even though I am not a religious person in a formal way, that does not mean I don't have my spiritual side--and as such---I do have a soft spot for churches----I especially like to find small, kind of funky churches out in America's countryside---here is a collection of a few I found on the trip and took photos.

    I pretty much love anything that is old and "historical"---I found this restored covered bridge.

    I got this picture looking inside---I got a bit of reflection, but you can still see much of the interior

    I would love having a local cobbler. Perhaps, I may invoke St. Crispin and bind
    him in something. Good boots are well worth it as evidenced by Terry Pratchett.

    [QUOTE]“The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because
    they managed to spend less money.

    Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus
    allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars.
    But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or
    two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about
    ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and
    wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in
    Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.

    But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who
    could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping
    his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only
    afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the
    same time and would still have wet feet.

    This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic
    unfairness.”[/QUOTE]

  6. Am I a hypocrite?

    I consider myself 50/50 bi. I love men and women equally and being with a man and women at the same time is my ideal situation. So I need your feedback, I have no issues with bisexuality or homosexuality, but I have a issue with gay (both the term and the lifestyle). So this may be because I am into masculine men and not feminine men. I love sucking cock and receiving and giving anal with men, plus a women with a strap-on. Therefore, in the mainstream media, most people would think of me as 'Gay', but I do love sex with women also. Which is the 'bisexual' stigma. I truly believe that homosexuality is genetic and in the womb, the X and Y chromosomes are intertwined causing a man to have more feminine characteristics.

    So is it a personal preference that I am attracted to masculine men or am I a hypocrite? Since I am I am attracted to masculine men, but not feminine men?

    I encourage your input.

  8. How does a newbie get started?

    I just returned from a trip to Europe with my wife and had an interesting encounter the next to last morning. I awakened early and didn't want to wake her so I went in search of a local Starbucks. I know this seems silly in Paris but I was missing familiar trappings. With help from a Starbucks finder app I reached one after a 20 minute walk. Since it was so early I wound up sitting out front alone with coffee and a bite just taking in the sites of people heading to work.
    After 10 minutes a local fella about my age came up and asked for a cigarette. I smiled and said I was sorry, I don't smoke. He just stood there kinda looking at me and I just figured he didn't speak English and was processing what I had said. After what was probably a 10 second stare from him and me smiling he continued on his way. On my walk back to the hotel it dawned on me that this was probably a potential encounter that I wasn't expecting and so didn't process.
    This made me very horny and got me to stop just fantasizing about being with another man and made me finally decide to do something about it. The first step now that I'm back was to sign up here. I filled out the requisite descriptions and will post photos as soon as I have the house to myself.
    My question is where do I go from here? Where can I get information to come up to speed on how to communicate with a potential local partner, how to protect myself from having my wife find out, etc. I know enough to meet in a public place and safety issues like that but once you meet someone that you are attracted to, how can you connect with them and get to trust each other if neither of you is sharing too much personal information up front? Is sharing your wants and desires enough to create that bond?
    I'm an analytical person and would rather not waste months trying things hit and miss making newbie mistakes since I'm sure the information is out there somewhere.
    Thanks in advance!
