What’s Up in the Neighborhood, September 14 2024

Hi folks, another day, another blog post, another Saturday, another wrap-up of the great blog posts and photos and writings by those people who populate my personal blogroll.

And if you happened to notice that the blogroll is a wee bit smaller this week … well, it was time for my annual blog-culling. If there are blogs on my blogroll that haven’t been updated in a very long while, and I don’t feel confident that any new posts will com from that person in the future, I’ve taken them off the blogroll. It’s my personal choice and I mean no offense to those who are removed. Understand that my blogroll is completely fluid, and I can add new blogs (or restore old ones) whenever I choose. But for now, the blogroll has been updated.

Okay, now that THAT news is over, let’s check out this week’s blog entries.
