I was looking through the caller ID on the office phone, and... Big if true!

A beautiful day for a walk in the woods!

Looks totally legit. I’m sure Amazon uses lowercase Greek alphas in place of the letter a all the time.

Spotted along the driveway at the high school in my town.

Ha ha! Rich! I’ll be rich! </s>

Some #spring #flowers from my morning walk with the dog.

Spring may finally be springing.

Playing around with HTML canvas on a snowy day.

The #dog would very much like for me to share my dinner.

A recent foggy morning at the schoolyard

Great Falls, Potomac River

Ran 3.4 miles today. A year ago I would have collapsed gasping after 2 blocks. Progress...

Here's another shot of the rainbow.

As the kids were trick-or-treating, the skies opened up. We weren't expecting rain, and we scrambled to find a tree for shelter. But then the rain passed and we saw this...

Where does Stephens come up with this stuff?

I remember the 1996 election, because it was the first one I voted in. Powell, for all his high favorability, would have been crushed, just like Bob Dole was. Bill Clinton was a popular incumbent riding an economic boom.

A neighbor turned up a news story from 1887 about a railroad “accident” not far from our town, on what is still an active passenger and freight line. The Italian American laborers are dehumanized first by being treated as a disposable commodity (“accidents” were frequent enough that they carried metal ID tags), and second by being depicted as irrational hotheads for reacting to the trauma of seeing their comrades run over by a train.
