hot-tub hermit

scrap metal & driftwood call the gods as well as any bronze or marble

living at the edge, a weekend walk through the albany landfill sculpture park. a few creative souls inhabit the park, apparently living off the abundant tangy morsels we carefully plucked from their prickly caretakers.  after some time we came upon a secluded tent marked with an omen: “don’t piss off the hermit, he speakes to god”. but a soulmate we found, his jumble of catameran bits stacked by his tent. a rumor had circulated that our own cat might be found - left at the beach as an homage to convenience and laissez-faire some months back. upon entry the hermit proved quite jovial and invited us to a party in some days time. the exterior of his hermitage did not hint at the wonders within - a full stone hottub in the roman style with inlaid tilework - all of his own make. after some discussion the hermit dashed off to locate a smoke, and we reflected in the tub (see above). what was to become of the boat? upon his return we made more direct queries, and soon we found our return hike slowed by a new beast of burden - our 7th catameran purchase in as many weeks. as usual, an entertaining time was had by all. storming the castle:
