From a quick trip out to Long Island (Maine) on the 4th-
1. speedboat
2. The Corto Maltese, Hugo Pratt's sailor. When I lived in Italy I had a girlfriend who wrote his name, in gum, on the bottom of a bookshelf. The shelf was only about 2 feet over her face when she was in bed, and before she fell asleep each night she'd stick her gum on it. I remember she proudly showed me the multicolored cursive Corto Maltese, among other dots and asterisks and swirls.
3. A broken stool at the boatyard. I actually took this photo last year, and the stool was going to turn into a bike rack for Tossed & Found, but I left it on the island and never found it again.
4. The Rime of The Ancient Mariner, illustrated by Alexander Calder. We found this at the bottom of a box, at a yard sale with kids, kids, everywhere.
5. The ferry back, Casco Bay looking a little like the Mekong, with a crowded whale watch boat.

The Calder book is a great find. Jealous again.
I was going to say the same thing. If you ever want to sell that copy of the Rime of the Ancient Mariner...
