Hi everyone. Hope you’ve got a good weekend planned, and that those plans of course include checking out the bloggers and writers and photographers that currently populate my personal blogroll. Check them out this week, you will certainly like them. Have a great weekend, everybody!
Read MoreVerizon: “Your check is in the mail. Maybe. At some point. I guess.”
Long-time readers of this blog know that for many years, I used Verizon as my cell phone provider. It wasn’t by choice. My ex-wife signed up with Verizon when we first needed cell phones, she got the “good” cell phone, I received the one with the antenna and the wonky ringtone. I kept Verizon after…
Read MorePlanning a foliage run
I live near three amazing foliage “destinations,” if you will. To my north are the Adirondacks, to my east are the Berkshires, and if I go northeast, there’s the Green Mountains. And I’ve had reasonable success in capturing breathtaking fall foliage in all three locales. This year, I want to capture some breathtaking fall foliage…
Read MoreMy entries for the 2024 Kolari Vision infrared photo competition
Every two years, Kolari Vision – the good people who converted one of my Nikon Df cameras into an infrared-dedicated shooter – offers an infrared photography contest, where winners receive Kolari Vision gift cards and plenty of publicity. And since the contest is open to all types of infrared photography, not just products promoted or…
Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: Just wipe the vocals off, we’ll take care of things.
There are so many tracks in the history of rock and roll where the song is recorded and ready for pressing on 45’s – and in some cases, pressed on 45’s and distributed – only to have someone decide, “Hey, let’s redo this song with another vocal.” And I don’t mean “re-record the entire song,…
Read MoreMoe Woods told us to get our numbers.
We live by codes and goals. We live by our desired achievements and our moral compasses. And in our moments of conflict and uncertainty, there are men and women who provide us with wisdom couched in a simple statement. I give you three examples. My first example was from John Strickland, the basketball player and…
Read MoreThe Big E double-dip trip, 2024
Saturday morning. I’ve gotten this trip down to a science. Load the car up in the morning, fill the tank, then get on the highway at about, oh, say, 6:00 a.m. That gets me to Springfield, Massachusetts by about 8:00 a.m., and completely beats the glut of traffic into the Eastern States Exposition’s “Big E”…
Read MoreWhat’s Up in the Neighborhood, September 21 2024
Good morning, my wonderful blog readers. I’m off to the Big E after I finish penning today’s blogroll roundup to see how my two – er, three – entries did at this year’s competition, which will essentially wrap up Competition Season 2024 for yours truly. But since this is Saturday, and I have this innate…
Read MoreThe Mark Robinson “minisoldr” revelation that NO ONE has discovered yet.
By now you’ve read the newspapers and discovered that North Carolina’s firebrand Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson, who is currently campaigning for North Carolina’s governorship, is – shall we say – going through a few things. CNN has reported that the controversial politician, who has espoused the return of slavery and the criminalization of transgender people,…
Read MoreOkay, NOW I think I have the complete badge collection.
One of the highlights of my childhood came when my family would go to the Lake George amusement park originally known as Storytown, now known as The Great Escape. Well, technically now it’s Six Flags Great Escape, but that’s splitting some hairs there. And if we went to Storytown / The Great Escape, we invariably…
