Caption Time: An uncleared windshield
We had a nasty, snowy Monday in the Capital Region. And with that in mind, when I got to my car that morning, I spent the necessary time sweeping off all the snow and ice that had accumulated on my car’s roof, rear window, side windows, mirrors, windshield and hood. I drove downtown. Took my…
Read MoreBuh-bye, Instagram.
I’m on a few social media platforms – besides my blog, I can be found on Facebook. I’m on Twitter (albeit in private mode so long as Twitter’s current ownership is still active). I’m on reddit (that platform for which I have a love-hate relationship). My photos exist on flickr, and I’m also on the…
Read More“You’re paying cash? That’ll be an additional $3.00.”
Time to run some Saturday morning errands. And one of those errands is to pay my phone bill. Normally I just do an electronic payment from my back account, but I had come into a sizeable amount of cash recently, and decided to pay my Verizon phone bill with the cash in hand. You know,…

Read MoreAmazon Smile isn’t smiling after February 20, 2023.
I’ve used Amazon’s Smile ordering service to designate a charitable donation from my online purchases. It’s a passive way to donate to a non-profit organization, while still purchasing whatever odds and ends I can get from Jeff Bezos’ online marketplace. And I’m sure many other people have used the Amazon Smile ordering platform for their…
Read MoreGeorge Santos and Sapphire.
If you have not read this news article from the Oyster Bay, New York website Patch, read it now. Seriously. Read it now. Here’s the link. Ugh. This story makes my blood boil. In one fell swoop, George Santos – or Anthony DeVolder – or whatever his name is this week – told a homeless…
Read MoreSeason 3 is coming. This is the way.
I’m what you would call a medium-level Star Wars fan. I’ll see the movies on opening night (all eleven of them so far, I count Solo as part of the canon), and some of the TV shows. I haven’t really gotten into the animated Star Wars universe – maybe at some point I can binge-watch…
