I see this sort of behavior all the time but saw something last night that really takes the cake.   A little background first. A major four lane thoroughfare on the outskirts of town, almost a small town beltline if you will, underwent a significant change recently.   You see local residents suddenly wanted to make it more friendly for pedestrians and bikers.   Okay, fair enough, it's going to...

Texas had the most pediatric hospitalizations in the nation, at 239, according to the latest data released Monday by the US Department of Health and Human Services. Five mortuary trailers have been requested by the health services department in Texas, which is seeing a surge in Covid-19 cases and, along with Florida, leads the nation in pediatric hospitalizations. The Texas...

The political witch hunt is an American tradition.  Sometimes the witch hunt really does blame the appropriate people for the appropriate thing.  Most often the political witch hunt is used to hide the sins of those engaged in the witch hunt. Is Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. a scion of the right wing?  Robert Kennedy has led opposition to vaccines, most notably measles vaccines, as a cause for...

On the shores of the Susquehanna Rivers, in the VERY small town of Nichols sits The Fainting Goat Island Inn.  It is a nice spot to relax and we did. And this little fellow joined us for breakfast every morning.  His name is Larry.

What can I say, they speak for themselves.

After a couple weeks of nasty July heat and humidity, this past week has been absolutely gorgeous. Another cool start to August, with highs only in the low to mid 80s. I could seriously get used to this. Unfortunately, it's supposed to be back in the 90s by next week. August 5, 2021 Overcast skies and a cool breeze. The high was only 84 today, and that wasn't until late afternoon. ....

As the far right celebrates elderly former US Senator Barbara Boxer being mugged and ridiculed Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez for correctly using a big word the whole truth of what realky happened in Washington DC on January 6th, 2021 is being illustrated. What are your thoughts as you watch the hearing live on television? Frankly, my first impression is how stunning it all still is. A Trumpian...

I don’t understand why people get so angry with something so ridiculously silly.... Let me start off by saying that no one is perfect. This is a rant, so to speak about people on the road, new drivers, seasoned drivers, and overall nerve-racking drivers. I have a 20-year-old boy [aka “the adopted one”], who we’ll call E for the purposes of this rant, that has his adult permit that we went...

Liberals are celebrating the FBI hunting down the Capitol protesters, rioters, white supremacists, insurrectionists, terrorists, Fascists, or whatever name is appropriate for the occasion.  And they're all Republicans!  Liberals get to use the police state against their opponents and no one is gonna complain.  Lock those Republicans in prison and throw away the key.  Can't get better than...

For those of you that have camera security systems, I have questions. What system did you buy? Do you like it? What do you wish it had now that you've owned it for a while? Did you do a wire- in system, solar rechargeable, simply battery operated? How much did you invest? I'm looking into getting a camera security system for the front of my house. Last night, at about 2 am, someone threw a...

I got off to a late start this year, but it didn't matter. I had two hard freezes in late April, which would have undone everything anyway, so I suppose that actually worked out for the best. The problem is, after the freezes the weather never returned to normal. May was every bit as wet as last year, and unseasonably cold as well. The... Whole... Darn... Month... I think I was actually...
