I love Norfolk and Portsmouth, Virgina

Downtown Norfolk's Harbor Park

We are pretty fortunate here. The Elizabeth River divides the land but the ferry, the tunnels and bridges keep us together. I have to be near the water. It's what drives me.

Downtown Norfolk and Portsmouth's downtown are easily accessible from each other. Hotels line the waterfronts and you literally have access to nearly a thousand restaurants. You have a mall, movie theaters, condominiums, apartments and houses. 

Norfolk and Portsmouth are living cities. Some downtown's are ghost towns on the weekend. Atlanta and Richmond are examples of this. 
I've had an apartment in Downtown Norfolk and I currently have a house in Portsmouth.

Portsmouth has its ups and downs but I enjoy the waterfront, the festivals, the Farmers' Market and the museums. 

I marvel at what holds it all together. Sometimes I think that our local government is smoking crack. Other times I think they really care. That's life. 

There's plenty of bad news to absorb. Instead I try to put energy into what it is that I like. Bad or good attention still gives energy to the subject. I'd prefer to shine the light on the good things.

Where Have I Been, A Facebook Address

Image
By Alex Nuttall - Bio Where I have been? To say the least I was in shock after a certain November 2016 pole result. I'm good now. Contacting me has been difficult for some who like to use Facebook Messenger. I don't like it but I have access to it. I prefer a more secure form of communication. I always have. So if you would like to get in contact with me and get results try the following: Telegram: https://telegram.org/   Telegram Messenger Signal Private Messenger: https://whispersystems.org/ Signal Private Messenger Keybase: https://Keybase.io Keybase.io What is great about the above is that they provide end to end encryption. Facebook's own WhatsApp also provides this but the code is not open source. The three above: Telegram, Signal Private Messenger and Keybase are open source software projects. That means that we can verify and validate security because anyone who understands the code can look at it and find vul

Sawhorse 3 - 20170219

By Alex Nuttall - Bio This is a sawhorse. As a form carpenter I have seen so many terrible examples of sawhorses that I want it to just stop. This is a very sturdy design. I used the program CadStd ( http://www.cadstd.com /) which is very inexpensive. It also runs on Gnu/Linux (Ubuntu/Linux mint) using Wine . I also used Gimp to make it look nice.  Sawhorse 3 - 20170219 - Alexander Nuttall - OgFOMK ArTS
