The Capital District Photo Regionals are the pre-eminent photo salon in this area. Sometimes the show features selected artists; other times it’s a “call for entries.” This year is a “call for entries.” And I’m already preparing my entries for call. ๐ Over the past decade, five of my artworks have reached the walls of…

And … welcome back. It’s Saturday, and you certainly know what that means. I step aside for a day and instead showcase the best blogs, photos and thoughts from the people on my personal blogroll. Which I’ve updated of late – added some new bloggers and brought back a podcast that just resumed after a…
Read MoreResults from the 2023 Iowa State Fair
Ah, what an adventure. I submitted my four entries to Iowa … where FedEx completely messed up the delivery and they were almost returned unjudged. But now I know the identity of the ONE image of my four that made the cut. And surprise, surprise … it’s the one that was part of the State…

Read MoreThe East Palestine charity scandal connects to … oh, it figures.
Remember earlier this year when a train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio? Remember the chemical spill and the burning oil cars and all that? Good. Now pay attention to this little tweet by a certain member of Congress. Ah, Marjorie Taylor Greene, stomping her cloven hoof once again to blame Joe Biden for everything. As…
Read MoreLauren Boebert suffers from “Little Red Hen” Syndrome
I know, I know, it’s another blog post featuring Lauren Boebert, the cocoa-nut from Colorado. Trust me. This woman is so dumb, she would stare for 30 minutes at a can of frozen orange juice because the label said “Concentrate.” Anyway … As you know, Rep. Boebert has this nasty habit of voting AGAINST anything…
Read MoreColin Cowherd is a flaming jackass. Film at 11.
First off. I have no use for Colin Cowherd. The man is a flaming jackass, just like this blog post’s headline says. He’s the kind of blowhard who says things to get attention and generate clicks. And recently, he not only reached a new low as a sports commentator … he found a jackhammer and…

Read MoreIn praise of Mic Tyson and the Montgomery Riverfront Brawl
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…
Read MoreVerizon: “That’ll be a $1 surcharge. Or you can pay here for an additional $10.”
Earlier this year, I tried to pay my Verizon cell phone bill at a store that apparently wasn’t a Verizon Corporate Store (there seems to be a big delineation regarding this).
