Long-time readers of my blog know that I am extremely scrupulous with my financial records. I’ve been the victim of identity theft and credit card compromise more than once; and I guard my financial records like they were the contents of Fort Knox. Which is why, once every year, I visit a site called annualcreditreport.com…
Read MoreThe Saturday Blogroll Recap, October 17 2026
Good morning, my wonderful blog readers. Time for our Saturday excursion into the great blogs and photos and stories from the people who populate my personal blogroll.

Read MoreWhat the judges said about my 2026 Big E photography (and other) entries
I do appreciate feedback on my photography entries. And this year’s Competition Season has proven extremely fruitful. Several of my photos have earned prizes and silks, with two pieces – the macro shot Herbie Jr. :v) Was Here and the railroad composite shot A CO Railfan’s Dream having the most success. With that in mind,…
Read MoreYes, I’m ready for Godzilla Minus Zero.
There’s something to be said about a gigantic nuclear-irradiated lizard that terrorizes Tokyo with his flaming breath and big building-stomping feet. Yep. There’s a new Godzilla movie coming this November. And it’s in IMAX – which means we can see Godzilla in actual size. Wowie. To the average person, Godzilla films might seem like “you’ve…
Read MoreThe CPKC Holiday Train 2026 schedule just dropped!!
I was once asked how I celebrate the Christmas holidays.

And at certain locations, it provides a little holiday concert. And every stop…

It’s 3:30 a.m. on a Sunday morning. I thought I could sleep last night. I could not. The excitement for today was too much for slumber. I have a photo trip planned. Please let me tell this story. There’s a church in Long Island that is just incredibly photogenic. When the fall foliage kicks in,…
Read MoreRight about now, them Duke boys might have discovered that the General Lee plumb don’t look like itself.
Yes, I did watch The Dukes of Hazzard on Friday nights in the late 70’s / early 80’s. Not so much for the antics of Bo and Luke Duke, or for the short-shorts-and-panty-hose rocking Daisy Duke (although Daisy Duke was certainly a nice satchel of eye candy). No, I was watching for the General Lee,…
Read MoreThe Saturday Blogroll Recap, October 10 1026
Yawn. It’s early in the morning, my wonderful blog readers, but I need to get this blog post out the door before my girlfriend Suzanne and I travel off for another weekend adventure. So bear with me if I’m still wiping sleep out of my eyeballs while I pen this. But as you know, once…
Read MoreYour Pet Juliette and the Good Company
There were plenty of all-star variety TV shows on back in the day. Depending on your personal tastes, you could watch variety shows from established masters of ceremonies like Ed Sullivan; or you could enjoy comedy / musical stylings from Sonny & Cher, Tony Orlando & Dawn, the Captain & Tennille, Donny & Marie, Lawrence…
