What’s Up in the Neighborhood, August 30, 2025

Good Saturday morning to you all. Just another fun day here, and by “fun day” I mean that it’s time to recap what’s been going on with the great bloggers and writers and photographers and thinkers on my personal blogroll. Enjoy!

Oh, by the way, going forward, if any of my people on the blogroll have a YouTube video, I’m actually going to set up a small listing for all of those, so that you can watch the videos right here on this blog platform. Sort of like this one for Jerry Papandrea’s “DerryX” platform. Enjoy!
