Dear So and So

Who says women can't do these things?

Not me

Growing up I had a neighbor with a nice wood working shop and I’d spend time helping him when I was a teen. His wife also taught me pottery and bronze casting.
The second summer of undergraduate school I bought an older house with a friend and we remolded it, including some structural/code issues, into two units. After building a good rental history we sold it to pay for graduate school and living expenses. I did enjoy the work, the process and the profit. As much as I enjoyed that learning experience, I’m also glad I bought into a recently built building when I got to the L.A. area. Maybe later in life I’ll have the time to do the designing, building or remolding thing again but just normal maintenance works better for me now….

Too cute to be Napoleon besides, I think he is part of admiralty .

that looks like napoleon’s cockade on the bicorne but yeah bicorne’s were also worn in a lot of the militaries back then and especially in France.
