The Old Stone House Museum collects tools of this era. Ever been up there? They used to run an amazing apple & cheese festival in the fall: https://oldstonehousemuseum.org/
No, thanks, I'll check them out.
I have no idea what is going on here, but it would make for an insane skate park...
Couldn't dig up more recent pics. Here are some from the apple and cheese fest in 2012.
Aww crap, not long until they bear arms and discover interplanetary travel.
Even more than the Trump presidency, this will be remembered as the definitive marker that signified the irrevocable decline of the American empire.
Holy f*ck, it’s just perfect.
No fuckin' way that's real. NONE. 
Is it a snub to the Trumpers? That a Latino is playing the part of an American icon???
@rideit, @SkaredShtles: it might seem fancy, but in reality it's not... those kinds of places require mega-money to keep up. My mom tried to turn it into a B&B, but it's just not bringing in enough $ to stay afloat... My grandparents bought it 80 years ago this week (we just found the bill of sale). But it's looking like she's going to have to sell it soon as she just can't keep up with the work to keep it going. We're pretty sad, but I guess that life?!
It was occupied by the Nazis during the war, we found helmets and mess kits in the attic when we started renovating it. There was fighting in the surrounding fields. There's lots of memories there...
That’s fairly typical for so much of Europe, things seem ‘fancy’ to us yanks, when in reality, they are just really old!
i would love to stay there for a week and road ride around Normandy early in the mornings, before the wind kicks up!

Maybe start a crowdfunding effort to create a Ridemonkey retreat in Normandy...
let me know when there's a porn parody.No fuckin' way that's real. NONE.
I'm suspecting that *this* is a parody of a porn flick.
Watching the History Channel series on Food That Built America shows Sanders was an interesting chap. This show must've come from leftover edits.

DAMN YOU! Now I want cannelloni.
That should be directed at my autocorrect.
JHFC.....
Right?
Someone pitched that.
Someone else approved it.
Someone got funding.
Those actors agreed to be in it.
Some other people...
It boggles the mind.
Said decline, or the course today, started with the nomination and election of Truman rather than Henry Wallace.
I *knew* you were taking the piss.
It's right on the edge of "la Plaine de Caen". Essentially, right where the rolling hills of Normandy meet the plateau that leads to the ocean, which is about 45 minutes away. It can get pretty windy there for sure. In fact, most of the trees in that photo were replanted after the Y2K New Years Eve windstorm uprooted at least 60% of them. They were all old, from my grandfathers time, and weren't yielding much anymore.
With flat plains and rolling hills, orchards, streams and lots of history, it's a pretty nice place to road ride. If my mom's still living there when the pandemic is over, she rents them out as cottage, if you were so inclined. Here's her website: https://www.normandie-gites-normandy-rentals.com/
damn....earliest date you can book is 2023...
they might let Americans into the country by then.
