Hopefully by now, you’ve seen the recent viral videos of a massive fight at a riverfront dock in Montgomery, Alabama. Here’s the Reader’s Digest explanation. A riverboat tried to dock, but couldn’t because a pontoon boat was blocking its way. A security guard asked the pontoon owners to move the boat. The pontoon owners responded…

The past two days were lots of fun, and I could write three or four blog posts to cover all the information. But instead … I’ll lump everything into one blog post for today. Starting off with my new household tenant. I purchased an Alexa Echo Dot. Yeah, yeah, I’m sure all of you are…

Good morning, my wonderful blog readers, hope you’ve got some fun plans for today. I’m thinking my “fun plans” involve finding an air-conditioned locale and coming up with excuses for staying there. Ha. So let’s check out this week’s blogroll, and there’s some good stuff here. Trust me on this. Have a great weekend, everybody!

Last week, Colorado representative and all-around Freedom Caucus troll Lauren Boebert showed her true, disgusting colors, when someone handed her a pin in commemoration of a child who died in the 2022 Robb Elementary School gun slaughter in Uvalde.

In all the disgusting ways possible. See, yesterday, some people handed Boebert a little cloisonné pin, with the hopes that Boebert would understand…

A while back, I was at the Helderberg Escarpment at Thatcher Park. For those who are not familiar, the Helderberg Escarpment is an overlook that gives a fantastic view of Albany and the surrounding counties. Heck, on a clear day you can even see Vermont’s White Mountains. There’s also a solitary tree that grows between…

Yesterday’s announcement of the “Alive at 5” summer concert series in Albany’s Corning Park caught my attention – especially the notice of July 13th’s “Classic Rock Night” featuring headliners The Sweet. You remember The Sweet, don’t you? All those big hits – “Fox on the Run,” “Ballroom Blitz,” “Love is Like Oxygen,” “Little Willy,” all…
