Over the weekend I stopped at the Apple Store to buy a new phone charger for my car. Whenever I go there, I’m always amazed at the number of people shopping for computers and phones. It’s like Black Friday every single day! After a few minutes of looking around the perimeter of the store, I … Continue reading Can’t touch this

Cathedral in Bloom, 2020
Even when winter has been relatively mild there’s still excitement for spring, particularly in upstate New York.

If I post it in one place, how do I share it with the other site? Honestly, I've got … Continue reading CivMix Redux
