What’s Up in the Neighborhood, September 6 2025

Hi everyone, I’m writing this blog a wee bit early today because by the time you read this, I’ll be on the road to Syracuse to pick up my entries from the end of the New York State Fair. Normally I would just request them be shipped back to me via mail; but I’ve got a crate and a drive-in speaker, neither of which would fit in a Priority Mail shipping container.

So while I’m on the New York State Thruway this morning, please take a moment and enjoy these blog posts and writings and photographs from the wonderful people on my personal blogroll.
