I have a bazillion photos of Kingston on GX40 which I would link to except the servers are very sluggish the morning. Check later in the archives (link waaaay down to right) for the category "Kingston".
Hey that's neat, Gordo! It's November here too! I thought you people used celsius?
Sure, according to the rather nice Queens Univ. info, that is indeed Picton and I wanna GO THERE. Are you trying to say Picton is somewhere else? Alan, do any of your pics have palm trees? How did you feel about having me and my dog in your office? You seemed a bit surprised we were there.
Guess Alan prefers not to comment on being stalked in my dreams. But I wasn't! OK, when I was a kid and we lived in Brockport we would go to Hamlin Beach State Park and there were awesome beaches and dunes. About opposite Picton, the long way. Hmmm...feel a post coming on...
Well, but gordo, Alan's like family now. I mean, we named the special compartment for six-packs in the fridge 'The Alan MacLeod Honorary Coolspot'. Besides, in my dream Kingston City Gov't was housed in a massive seven building campus, all skyscrapers. You can't possibly have that much gov't, can you?
Our City Hall was originally designed to be the Parliament Building for the federal government. When they built it, Kingston was in the running to be the capital. We lost to Ottawa and the City went bankrupt in the process. The building's design isn't exactly conducive to the large numbers of people that running a city requires, so they have "satellite" offices around town. I think they're just contracted to lease space ina new building, too.
As my old pal Gordo says:
"You want plain, old pots or plates? Go see the other guys. You want whimsy and creativity? Gary's the man!"

my pots are lead-free, microwaveable and dishwasher safe, just don't drop them!
Mary Lee got her pots and says: "Love 'em both......I'm also much relieved to find that both pieces are useable in any of the traditional manners, micro, dishwasher, etc., something I'd wondered about.
I'm truly delighted ....the glaze is so very much nicer in person. Photos do not do it justice, alas! "
Gary Rith is a full-time studio potter and also an instructor of pottery at Cornell University's Pot Shop.
Gary started learning pottery in 1983. In 1985 he served as an apprentice to Dean White of Deansboro, NY and earned a bachelor's degree in art from Bennington College in 1987. He has been a full-time sculptor and potter since 1997. Gary started his business in New Hamspshire, where he was selected as a member of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen in 2004 and in 2005 was named one of New Hampshire's Emerging Ceramics Artists. He moved to the Ithaca, NY area in 2006, near where he grew up, and is happily making pots and sculpture in a purple house on Fall Creek. Gary likes to laugh, and his first goal is to have fun making pots.

From Quebec, Mags gets excited:
GUESS WHAT? My pots arrived! Oh my GOD! They are beautiful and you are soooooooooo sweet
another happy pig lover wrote:
Thank you so much for the prompt delivery...... I LOVE it!!! This day has been very stressful, and your package certainly brightened it. :-) (Sometimes all ya need is a couple of pigs!)
These will be favorites.
Thanks again, M.P.
When Mona opened up her box of pots she said:
I went all gooshy 'cause they're absolutely amazing! The pigs are gosh-darned cute, and the glaze-work is gorgeous! I can't keep my hands off them! Seriously! I keep finding excuses to walk by them .....
Lucia has something to say:
Gary -
You're awesome.
The vase is beautiful!! It's even more lovely than it looked in the photo. And the surprise, I laughed so loud at its cuteness that a co-worker came in and asked what was so funny. Thank you so much! I felt just like it was Christmas here in the office this morning, and I'm smiling. Wooooohooo!!! You're excellent.
--Lucia
E.S. sez:
The package made it in excellent condition! I absolutely loved them. I almost couldn't part with the pig mug, but I gave it to my coworker for her birthday who is in love with pigs.
and more happy customers say:
"Gary, my pots arrived! They're beautiful just as I expected
I just wanted to thank you ever so much...adorable." Maggie

Umm ... Gary? You are aware that it's November up here?
That top picture looks more like the Dunes beach at Sandbanks park up near Picton.

Alan, do any of your pics have palm trees? How did you feel about having me and my dog in your office? You seemed a bit surprised we were there.
There. The WD40 has now taken effect: http://www.genx40.com/archives/kingstonand/
Sandbanks is about an hour West of here, Gary. Gorgeous park, though and generally full of people in the summer.
Canadian 80's hair band Honeymoon Suite shot their video for Wave Babies at Sandbanks. I can't seem to locate the video, though.
That top pic is the sandbanks prov. park in Piction area, prince edward county..
That video also included a shot on the Glenora Ferry.
Oooh, the ferry. Be still my beating heart ... LOL

Alan doesn't like it when blogging touches on his real world. I'd be freaked out if Kramer and his dog came walking into my building ... LOL
AHA! Lemoine Point, Kingston!
gorgeousness!

Well, but gordo, Alan's like family now. I mean, we named the special compartment for six-packs in the fridge 'The Alan MacLeod Honorary Coolspot'.

Not yet, Gary. We're working on it. ;-)
Oh, I see, just like New Jersey.
Our City Hall was originally designed to be the Parliament Building for the federal government. When they built it, Kingston was in the running to be the capital. We lost to Ottawa and the City went bankrupt in the process.

I cannot speak for me in any matter that may or may not relate to me.
Heck, maybe we can just name that whole corner of the kitchen 'the MacLeod Nook'
Your Lemoine Point link is not the full link: http://www.genx40.com/archives/2005/
october/lemoinepoint
Alright, we can make it the 'Macleod Honorary Nook and Sink with Trash Can under the Cupboard'
Be careful as you may need to allocate all your space to treat storage with any luck.
If that comes true, Mr Beerblog, maybe the whole HALF of the kitchen would be named in your honor. How's that, huh huh?
So, that would be the MacLeod Half-Kitchen, then? Wow. Quite an honour.
Listen, we could name the downstairs bathroom for you, or maybe a closet? The Gordo Honorary Behind the Stairs Area?
