“LITTLE CRUISER is our fifteen foot sharpie designed and built by our friend Matt Layden as a coastal microcruiser. Constructed in 1988, LITTLE CRUISER was one of his favorite boats and he sailed her engineless as far North as the Bay of Fundy in Canada and as far South as the Exumas in the Bahamas. After we acquired her in 1992, we sailed Little Cruiser to the Bahamas seven more times.”

“Swedish firm Tham & Videgard Hansson Arkitekter, have cleverly used mirrored panels to create an almost invisible treehouse “hotel.” Although the square footage hasn’t been revealed, the “hotel” unit boasts a kitchen, sleeping area, living area, and for those not afraid of heights, a terrace.”

I think I posted this a year or two ago, but just ran across it again. Made me smile all over again. Dude! I’m sure this little guy didn’t take off down the hill, but it’s the thought that counts. I can’t find out who took it. (Here are 170 places it’s appeared on the web, thanks to TinEye).

Our friend Minor Wilson just sent us this link to a studio video he and Daniel DeLoach made of Jerry Jeff Walker in Dripping Springs, Texas. In the “comments” section, one viewer wrote, “Belize? more like paradise. sweet melody and breeze that just feels right.”

Excerpts from the lyrics:

“Sunny days of fishing in the salty air,

And the stars at night, there ain’t no ambient light.”

“Successful men get what they want, happy men want just what they got.”
