Taken by my sharp-eyed daughter today near New Paltz, New York, after a very pleasant leisurely hike in the Shawangunks. The kids and I wanted to get out of New York City for as much of Nineleven Weekend as we could manage.

Things are just as sucky in Binghamton, although burning Al Gore in effigy seems to have helped.

There comes a time and a place to end all road work. Your daughter is prescient in this manner.
The only good thing I've ever really done is leave a bit of learning to my sons. I never had a daughter. I hope you can leave a bit of learning to her.

That's what I liked about the picture. Is the sign indicative mood, or imperative? I'm right there with it, either way. Son & daughter both saw the humor in it, so non omnis moriar, as the man said.

"non omnis moriar"
I had to look that up. Not much of a Latin guy.
However, Fuckin' A is what I say to that. The biological imperative to procreate isn't a bad thing at all.
I'm just a profane son of a bitch too.

Good choice, as chance would have it, my wife and I were on the opposite shore, in the East Hudson Highlands, also hiking, same rationale.
