On Dams
While on my lunch break the other day, I watched this short film about dam removal on streams in the Hudson River watershed. Fascinating film, with amazing photography (well-worth watching in full-screen HD). Were there a place I could say … Continue reading
It’s Tab-Closing Day!!!
I was not prepared for mid-to-upper 80 degree temps this week, folks. I’ve found over the last several years that I handle heat a lot better than I used to–time was when 85 degrees would reduce me to sitting in a … Continue reading
Something for Thursday: Conversation songs, No. 2
Here’s another “Conversation Song”! This is my ongoing series, started last week, in which I feature songs whose lyrics give us one side of a conversation, and we are left to infer the other half. This week’s song dates from … Continue reading

Tuppence a bag
Two birds from this week. A robin, at work… …and a hummingbird at home. As for the post title? Here. The sound isn’t great, but I might well prefer this arrangement to the one Julie Andrews sang.




Then: Hoovervilles! Now: Shapirovilles!
So, a couple weeks back, a video made the rounds of social media that was billed as “A progressive DESTROYS Ben Shapiro!!!!” Now, this is an obnoxious tendency in our click-bait era, when any time a person on one side … Continue reading →
