Does a leading question need a destination sign? October 15, 2024
In reply to ColumBus: 1943: I suspect WPB knows the answer, but this is Shorpy, not Perry Mason, so he gets a response (not a reprimand) As for the "Then and now" feedback, a great deal remains: all of the low rise buildings in the foreground are gone - the terminal was @ Third/Town Streets, […]

Easy Microgreens June 13, 2023
Microgreens seem to be all the rage these days and for good reason: they are packed with nutrients and easy to grow!

I was showing her my garden and she wrapped her hands around the leaves of my young cauliflower plants and folded them upward. “When your cauliflower begins to form a bud, pull your […]

How I'm Voting September 13, 2024

For whatever they’re worth, my thoughts:I think reasoning tends to be more interesting and useful than conclusions, and going into my reasoning would take a while. But to try to summarize: I don’t think America has two political parties; I think we […]

Identifying Devil’s Club Plant August 10, 2023
Devil’s Club is a common wild plant in Alaska that’s large & covered in hidden sharp thorns, growing everywhere from remote forests to even well-groomed Anchorage city trails.

I’ve probably had my last roti, checked out my last book at my local branch library, gone to my last art workshop. Horror of horrors, I’ve even watched my last play. The thing […]
