And it’s Father’s Day tomorrow, so in the words of the great baseball announcer Ralph Kiner, it’s Father’s Day, so Happy Birthday to all the fathers out there. Yeah, I know he…
Read MoreHow to tell when Donald Trump is spewing fake news
Well, this hasn’t been a great week for Donald Trump. He lost two Supreme Court cases, one involving the rights of LGBTQ men and women to hold employment without fear of discrimination, and one that prevented DACA men and women from deportation.

How’s this for a graduation ceremony photo?
Here’s the deal. In addition to the two photos I am allowed to enter in the Big E’s photography competition this year (assuming, of course, that the Big E WILL operate this year), the Big E has also held an online monthly contest, with each category being based around a theme. The theme for June…
Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: One Less (dumb) Bell to Answer
Jason Johnson is a very smart man. He’s a political commentator on MSNBC and is very well respected. Which makes me wonder where his brain was when he tweeted this out.

Read MoreMy entries that would have been into the 2020 Iowa State Fair Photography Competition
They postponed the Iowa State Fair … and then, they postponed it all the way to 2021. I kinda knew stuff like this was going to happen, even though I still had hope against hope that at least one or two different fairs would still have competitions. No matter. I’ll just save these photos for…
Read MoreAnd COVID-19 claims the Altamont Fair…
Aw, crud. That’s really all I can say at this point. But I understand why. Yesterday, due to concerns involving COVID-19 and the need to keep everybody safe, the Altamont Fair will not operate for the 2020 season. And I get it. I really do. From the Fair’s website: Fair Board votes to cancel the…
