Welcome To The New LineTime!
Coded originally in 2003 with programming languages that have since fallen out of favor, it had to reside on a server from that era. You probably noticed how often it failed. This new version should carry us for another 20 years.
Built and run by Joseph Miller and MJ Andrak, they are now handing off to Ellen Fitch and Betsy Passarelli who have bravely stepped up to carry it forward.
Your favorite areas – Message Board, Directory, Property Sales – all have been recreated. Those of you who had items on the Message Board will need to repost them but all other content has been carefully preserved.

Entering Dog Woods
“That is the first thing I notice every time I step off the Guemes Island ferry. The island is quiet. Kath, Murphy, and I walked west from the ferry a mile and a half along nearly deserted roadways to Dog Woods Park. An occasional car would go by, the driver offering a friendly wave to us as they passed. Then there would be silence. Not a sound to be heard, except maybe the song of a sparrow in a field, or just silence, the silence of wide-open skies, rural meadows, and shadowed woodlands.” [Read more]
