Buying the New Yorker 1986 - page 66

One of the bands that I was really into in 1986 was The Three O'Clock. The liner notes on their album "Arrive Without Travelling" ended with the words "have some wheat."

This became a catchphrase amongst my friends, partly for the enigma of it, and also because of the number of beverages that we enjoyed that were derived from wheat.

I am reminded of that because I have no idea what she has slung over her shoulder - some sort of quiver for gathering wheat is my best guess.

It looks like The Slickerworks has gone out of business. Pity. I'd liked to have asked them.

I was thinking that "Young Island" was a slogan. Nope. That's the name. And go have a look at the place. It's so little and cute!

Vacances en Campagne seems to have been run by a fellow named Carl I. Stewart. At least he wrote some letters to The New York Times about the business. There is now an attorney in New York named Carl I. Stewart. Same guy? Stranger things have happened.

I can't tell for certain if the cunningly named "Bed and Breakfast Inn" is still operation. If it is, they're not making it particularly easy to find them. Of course, I could just try calling their phone number, but where's the fun in that?
