Dog, Bear, Dog Rocks (Winchester)
3 Animal Rocks in varying stages of decay Road around Highland Lake, Winsted/Winchester I see no need to separate these three rocks onto their own pages.

201. The Mansfield Freeman Center for East Asian Studies
I Think I’m Turning Japanese, I Really Think So Middletown (Google Maps location) April 23, 2011 Being married to a (south)east Asian woman and having produced two half-Vietnamese sons with her probably gives me a little more leeway with the Asian jokes than the next WASP guy.
